I’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use this great luggage pose prop from Storin ever since the pose fair, and it just hit me today as I was (for the third time) listening to the Harry Potter audio books. Trains! King’s Cross Station!
If only this was Platform 9¾ and the train a brilliant red Hogwarts Express. Instead, it’s the fabulous build at Karoastoff. I’ve been on the lookout for a good train build, and this one fits the ticket (pun intended). I saw a “rebuilding notice” sign up near the trains, so if you want to take photos, do get there quickly. You can rez!
It looks like I lost the contents of one of my suitcases 
. It’s actually a spot for another person to sit! If only I had travel companions.
I may not be in official Hogwarts robes, but I imagine my outfit as being closest to Hufflepuff‘s house colors. Blue and gold also happen to be the colors of my favorite university team: the University of Michigan Wolverines.

This is adorable! I’m a huge Harry Potter geek so I love this
I always love meeting other HP geeks! I honestly talk for hours about it without tiring. Go figure how one series of books can leave such a lasting impression. I never get sick of them! And doing a subtle tribute to them is the least I can do on this blog. No wands or owls yet, but this is a start.
Your photos are great !
Good job !
Steam trains are awesome! I had never seen one before I moved to England, but now I live next to a station and one comes through at least a couple of times a week. I think they’re part of a nostalgia tour and not a regular service, but they are SO cool, and SO SO SO LOUD! They’re amazing!
I am trying to convince my little nieces to visit from the states so that I have a good excuse to take the train seen in Harry Potter. You can book tickets on that stretch here: http://www.westcoastrailways.co.uk/jacobite/Jacobite_Details.html
Cool, no?
