The Hogwarts Express is the name of the train that made a run between London , King ' s Cross Station Platform 9¾ and Hogsmeade Station . It made this run at about six times a year , maybe more , as needed . The Express dutifully carried students to and from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the start and end of every term . The train leaves Platform 9¾ without fail on 1 September at 11 o ' clock in the morning , arriving at Hogsmeade Station in the early evening . Some students would take the train back to King ' s Cross Station to go home for the Christmas and Easter holidays , but some do not , as they stay at Hogwarts . It also makes the run back again to London at the end of term in June . Description . The Train . The main feature of the set is the Hogwarts Express train , which itself is made up of the locomotive , its tender , and the passenger coach . All three sections are connected by magnets , meaning that they can be rearranged into any combination . The set also has the Flying Ford Anglia . Locomotive .
