There was something slightly different about the list of departures in Heuston this week.
If you’re a fan of Harry Potter (and we have it on good word that there are a few) and you were in Heuston this week, then you probably soiled yourself at this sight.
We’re all familiar with the usual list of departures, you know; Cork, Galway, Portlaoise, Hogwarts…. wait, what? Oh, yes.

And it didn’t end there, as passengers snapped several images of the highly unusual, but very, very exciting spot.
My @IrishRail train home is leaving between two #Hogwarts expresses. Hope I don’t get hit by some random spell ? pic.twitter.com/hK0BJqz87u — trottolina.ie (@sdg1712) November 25, 2015

What in Harry’s wand was going on here, you ask?
According to hellogiggles.com, this was an event organised by the good folk at Trinity Ents, where students were invited to dress up as their favourite Harry Potter characters, before heading off to a secret location on the Hogwarts Express.

You won’t be surpised to find that the event sold out in no time and we bet you’re pissed that you missed it, because we certainly are.
