That's right. The Hogwarts Express departed. And I missed it!
But no matter; I can just head out to Colorado for a trip on the Durango & Silverton steam engine.
All aboard the Hogwarts Express...erm, I mean the Durango & Silverton.
Provided you arm yourself with the proper imaginative spirit, and perhaps some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and a Lindt chocolate bar in a homemade Honeydukes wrapper (not that I have ever made any homemade wizarding candy wrappers—especially not when going to see a Harry Potter movie on opening night), it will be exactly like the Hogwarts Express.
Pick up some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. (The earthworm-flavored one isn't that bad, really, but the vomit-flavored one is awful.)
Homemade Honeydukes, Lindt-style. Delish.
Be sure to bring along a stack of spellbooks, and also your arch nemesis. Just to keep things lively. (Side note: If you need to know everything ever about Harry Potter, try the Harry Potter wiki. This could be useful when I strike out to start my own wizarding colony.)
Tom Felton's sneering Draco Malfoy is Harry's arch nemesis. Who's yours? (I could use a nemesis, actually. Any volunteers?)
While you're trolling the US for sights that are the rightful province of the UK, you may as well drop by Carhenge in Nebraska, if you think you can stomach it.
Carhenge: Western Nebraska's answer to Stonehenge. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
It's like a redneck's feast of cinder blocks and clunkers projectile vomited all over this poor field. How sweet.
And now I think I will take advantage of this splendiferous fall weather. To the park I go!
