Hogwarts Express Ticket

A Hogwarts Express ticket - Handheld versions was a ticket provided to all who were attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the first time. It provided important details, such as the date and time that the Hogwarts Express departed from King's Cross Station: 1 September at 11 A.M.
==History==
Rubeus Hagrid provided Harry Potter with one of these just before Harry caught the train that would take him back to the Dursleys.When Albus Dumbledore visited Tom Riddle at Wool's Orphanage as his special messenger, he provided him with an envelope that included, amongst other things, his Hogwarts Express ticket.
==Behind the scenes==
*It is uncertain whether students in years other than first year are provided with this ticket, since the details of where and when the Hogwarts Express depart never change, barring very special circumstances. It is also unknown if the ticket serves anything other than an informational purpose, though no mention is made of Harry having to surrender it. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, however, does make reference to a "ticket inspector" who signalled Harry, Ron and Hermione when it was safe to walk through the magical barrier between Platform Nine and Platform Ten, and depicts Harry, Ron, and Hermione as needing a ticket to board the Hogwarts Express at the start of the fifth year, though subsequent trips do not require it.
