Used FAQs

Is this the real train used as the Hogwarts Express in the filming of the Harry Potter movies?

Good question! There are many tours available which say that the train included in their tours is the “Hogwarts Express” and may even state that theirs is the train which is used in the movies.

At this time, HP Fan Trips are the only tours which include the actual train used as the Hogwarts Express in the filming of the Harry Potter movies. Don’t be fooled by these other claims – the Olton Hall #5972 (the real name of the locomotive) does not run on a regular schedule, it is not on display and thus cannot even be visited by fans unless a company charters the entire locomotive. At HP Fan Trips and Beyond Boundaries Travel, we are proud to be able to bring fans so much joy by riding on the actual, the real, the authentic train used in the movies!

Can eating a poppy seed bagel cause you to fail a drug test?

Yes, ingestion of poppy seed bagels or poppyseed cake can indeed cause a false positive on a urine test for opiates. Ingestion of poppy seeds can result in a positive drug test as long as two days after ingestion. According to the myth-busting website snopes, “as little as a single bagel covered with poppy seeds could produce a false positive test for these drugs“.
