A closer look
Nothing ruins the magic of wizardry quite like learning that the mystical transport to a hidden school is just a refurbished British rail engine. The Jacobite Steam Train operates daily in Scotland, ferrying painfully enthusiastic tourists across the exact same picturesque viaduct seen in the films. You do not need a magical acceptance letter to board; you just need to fork over exorbitant amounts of perfectly normal human currency to a standard ticket vendor.
