All aboard, Potterheads.
As the official partner for the “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” Broadway show, Amtrak is operating four Harry Potter-themed trains on the Northeast Regional service route between Washington, D.C. and Boston until June 25, according to a release from the company.
Guests boarding the fantastic trains can expect to see decals of the show’s iconic characters, from Harry Potter to Draco Malfoy and Albus Potter, and a swirling clock to evoke time traveling displayed on the outside of the trains.
“While this train won’t be stopping at Platform 9 ¾, you’ll be sure to have a magical journey on the NEC,” the company said.
