Platform 9 3/4

Welcome to

 Hogwarts International School 

for Muggles! 

Hogwarts Express

I used my projector to trace the train onto black bulletin board paper. I then painted the details and printed off the Hogwarts Express Label from http://www.therpf.com (thanks Barneyrfd). I used a Ferrero Rocher gold wrapper for the light on the front of the train. Finally, I glued the train onto a big piece of flat cardboard to make it more sturdy and durable. Since we just moved into a new building, cardboard was in plentiful supply!

and

The Hogwarts Express 

I know what you're thinking. And yes, everyone keeps trying to run through the brick wall. 

Extendable Ears

I used two rubber ears and some wire to make my own extendable ears. I saw something like this when I visited Zonko's at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter this past summer. I figured it would be a fun detail and a way to remind students in the hall that we can hear them.

Shhh...

The Walls

Have Ears!
