- The conductor is happy to give you a smile, but the train here doesn’t move a mile.
- Frozen, regular or sometimes served hot, show us the favorite one that you got.
- Who is on top to win the house cup? Take a pic but you will miss your ride if you don’t hurry up.

- Step inside and dial magic, Diagon Alley is close and to miss it would be tragic.
- Walk through walls that aren’t really there, but capture it on video or you won’t know where.
- Hop on board Hagrid’s toy, but are you Harry or just a decoy?
- Here you can buy a Deatheater’s mark, but good luck with your picture because it will be dark.
