September 1st marks the journey from Platform 9 3/4 to Hogwarts – Did you get on the Hogwarts Express?

by Keith Hawk · September 1, 2012

It was 21 years ago today, Harry, Ron and Hermione headed off to King’s Cross station, made there way to Platform 9 & 3/4, and boarded the Hogwarts Express.

Throughout the day we’ll be sharing some of our favorite quotes and pictures from that day on Twitter.

But why not experience going to Hogwarts yourself. You can head to Diagon Alley, be sorted and take classes right here on MuggleNet through MuggleNet Interactive.

And as it happens, today MNI is releasing a brand-new section today, so stay tuned!

So enjoy heading back to Hogwarts with all of us and remember “Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!“
