Harry Potter and Ron Weasley miss the Hogwarts Express (due to Dobby) and travel to the school with the Flying Ford Anglia. They crash onto the Whomping Willow by accident. The car drives off, presumably into the Forbidden Forest, and Ron's wand comes close to breaking, and they lose even more points.
* **1993**: Dementors board the Hogwarts Express during the trip to Hogwarts; Remus Lupin drives them away from the Hogwarts Express.

## Trivia

* The Hogwarts Express leaves London at precisely eleven o'clock in the morning, and arrives at Hogsmeade Station sometime after nightfall. The Sorting ceremony takes place in the Great Hall and the Hogwarts school year starts.
