Hogwarts Express, the railway train,
is ready to take you aboard.
Go to Kings Cross Station,
and do so without hesitation
September first it's ready to depart.
Saying, "Platform, Where's the platform?
Harry's trying to find the platform
He must find it cause the train's about to start!"

All the guards and all the porters
help look throughout all the quarters
A boy is searching high and low
Saying, "Trevor, Where is Trevor?
For unless he's very clever
Then that pet toad just can't go!

First years Harry and Ron soon become best of friends
A witch pulls a teacart filled with lots of treats
Bernie Beans for me, and a chocolate frog for you
With Hermione the trio's now complete.


Then we're here at last, it's Hogsmead Station.
Hagrid signals, "First years here!"
Now across the lake to the northern shore;
Hogwarts we're finally here!


Hogwarts Express, the railway train,
is ready to take you aboard.

Harry and Ron's second year,
and now it was pretty clear
They'd miss The Hogwarts Express.
From hijacking a flying car to racing with the train
They would survive the willow more or less

Down the corridor she paces
and examines all the faces
Hermione tried to find Ron and Harry
She established control
by a regular patrol
Hermione began to fuss and worry.

She would ponder without blinking,
And you knew what she was thinking.
And it's certain she didn't approve
Of her friends not appearing
And just what were those two scheming?
She'll make them talk and then the plot can move.

Now onto to year three
Siruis is now free.
And Demnentors are on the hunt
Harry's in trouble, but Lupin saves the day.
When Dementors came on board.

Lupin simply waved his wand
A patronis and they'd be gone.
Then chocolate you must eat
A cure that's a yummy treat.
Eat every bit of it till it's all gone.

Lupin's the new professor
Yes The Dark Arts Professor
He'll be sure to put your mind at ease
Still, he has a few dark secrets
And I'm sure he has some regrets.
Just don't see him when the moon's full if you please.

The years go by so slightly
And The Express shines so brightly.
A steaming locomotive that can't go wrong.
Because it's made of magic
A truly special magic
Which make the crimson engine very strong.

The Express makes its run to Kings Cross Station,
London, and Hogesmeade.
It will make this run at least four times a year.
And it's always on time never have a fear.
You can get on board The Hogwarts Express
The best railway train indeed.

Hogwarts Express, the railway train,
is ready to take you aboard.

Let us just skip year four
Because it is such a bore.
Nothing new except for Ron's pet owl named Pig.
Still he's really fun to watch
When you give him a drop of scotch.
Seeing him zooming here and there, it is Pig!

Onto year five for Harry
Which was so contrary.
That Ron and Hermione were made Prefects.
They were mingling all the while
Harry was still in denial.
For Harry's world, life never seemed to be perfect.

Well things could be worse,
Seeing things might be worse.
Miss Luna Lovegood sees every odd thing about
She knows much more than Harry
Which is really rather scary.
Soon the truth must really start to come out.

So we wait for another year to pass.
For The Hogwarts Express!
It'll show without fail
Its stories you'll regale.
Hogwarts Express: the railway train.
