This does look like fun but one bit confused me. In the bit down the side it says 'Best suited for fans that live in the United Kingdom or are visiting there on August 1, 2005 ' How else could you go unless you are in the country on that date? Apparate  |

That sure is expensive for a 12-hour train ride!  For that much money I'd expect to get more than that! |

Nice, but I would not pay that much for it... maybe if they put JK Rowling on it as a special guest, I might reconsider  Amazing the ways that people manage to milk money from the HP phenomenon! |

I dunno Oxford to Carlisle I don't think it would be cheap and steam is expensive. On normal bog standard train it would cost £70.60 the cheapest return and thats not The HE.

Whooops! I read the ad as pounds not dollars.  So I guess the price isn't that bad.  |

Yes I hadn't realised it was an American thing. Just sort of assumed as it is in this country it was a British firm. Bit weird that though. All the Brits get adverts to go to America for high tech theme parks and the Americans advertise steam train trips in England  . Funny old world |

I reckon its the case of 'the grass is always greener on the other side'. We all always end up wanting what we don't have  |

It doesn't come into play for a few more hours... *searches desperately for a final Ebay bargain* |

Sounds fun but I am not sure - it might be populated with a whole load of kids and therefore we'd feel foolish! Unless we were all feeling rich enough to take a little carriage thing together (around 6 ppl) but I don't think I feel rich enough! Not with SS around the corner |

He hee - well it's not that - I think their delight would be wonderful - I'd just feel a bit silly on my own Yes their delight might be wonderful but their drippy noses and screams would be a nightmare. Not to mention that their superior knowledge of all things Potteresque would be really annoying |

Not to mention that their superior knowledge of all things Potteresque would be really annoying I beg to differ... I would beat those scrawny little buggers in any Potter knowledge they care to throw at me. If the unimaginable happens, I can always sit on them |
