Once you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry, you get a letter and enclosed in that letter is your Hogwarts Express ticket. On September 1st you will gather all of your supplies and magical stuff and get ready for the wonderful journey to the platform nine and three-quarters. The platform nine and three quarters is located at the King's Cross Station between the platforms nine and ten. Once you arrive at King's Cross Station you have to prepare your-self to enter through the barrier between platform 9 and 10. But the trick is you have to walk or run straight through the barrier without stopping or showing any sign of fear, but the worst thing is if you do show any sign of fear you will crash! Once you have passed through the barrier you can load your-self onto the great train...then the journey begins to the wonderful Magic School! While on the train a lady will come through and offer you some snacks to buy. On the way to Hogwarts there is wonderful scenery and it is something you cannot miss out on! Later on in the trip, just about before you reach Hogwarts you will be asked to put on your school robes. And then the journey ends, and you find your self at Hogsmeade station.
