Description

A one-way ticket to ride the Great Wizarding Express from London to Berlin

The first carriage had red leather upholstery, brass, gold, and walnut veneers.

At the end of the train was a carriage that had a tattered exterior, but well done interior inside. There was a fireplace that was connected to the Floo Network. It was used by wizards and witches to get on board. A house-elf pushed a trolley that sold teas, coffees, sandwiches, and cakes.
