Any speculation as to a HP Train seeing the light of day (heck, they keep on
doing those c***py podracers).

Sure.

Not a chance.

The LEGO sets will be based on the movie, remember.  The movie, unlike the
book, has rather tight time constraints.  Given, then, that the train will
likely be a short scene, I'd be surprised to see a real train set (ie,
motorised train with a track and everything) of the Hogwarts Express.  It would
be way too expensive a set for the screen time.

That said, I've seen photos of the Express from the movie, and if there *is* a
train set of it, and they do as good a job as they've done with the Star Wars
sets, I'll buy it.

I think you're much closer with a your guess about Hogwart's itself, although
it will probably be in several smaller sets.

eric, who really wants a good set of Snape's classroom.

Actually, in addition to the Hogwarts stuff, I'm keeping my fingers crossed
for Diagon Alley and Gringots Bank.  If they do anywhere near as good as
they've done with the SW sets I'll be happy.
Best,
Aaron
