Transit

Hogwarts Express

The train that takes the entitled brats to the boarding school where they'll be whipped into shape and summarily executed-- I mean taught all that they need to know about magic to get a menial-labor job in the wizarding world-- and back home at Platform 9 3/4 in mostly one piece. The passenger carts on the train are comprised of a narrow hallway with compartments (with doors) on each side. Prefects get their own separate compartment at the front of the train that they can relax in when they aren't patrolling the train and making sure that none of the brats are getting too rowdy. A trolley laden with sweets rolls through the train during the trip, and students may purchase candy from it. The train is run entirely on magic, yet, there never seem to be enough compartments for those who wish to sit alone (perhaps on purpose).
