“The Lego 4708 Hogwarts Express is the very first Harry Potter train in the Lego line. The set includes 410 pieces, anf of those 410 pieces, there are two train wagons, three minifigures, and the train station. For the two train wagons, there is the Main train engine, but... More unfortunately it does not run on electricity, and the passenger wagon. Who you put in the Passenger wagon consist of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and each one has a wand to carry.”
