        Re: Harry Potter Creator box art —Matthew Gerber
     Christopher, I don't know what's cooler, that you got HP info or that you went to E3. After leaving LA a few years ago, I haven't attended again. Anyway, I'm getting a broken image link on your page at geocities. You might need to check it, or it (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)

     (...) Yeah E3 is always a blast! I've gone 4 of the last 6 years (two year break while the show was in Atlanta).

       (...) It's not a Hogwart's Express game or a set. It's the box for the PC title, LEGO Creator Harry Potter. It is in the same line as the rest of the LEGO Creator series of PC titles. CP Loch Forest (24 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
      
           Re: Harry Potter Creator box art —Larry Pieniazek
       (...) Sorry for being imprecise. When I said "game" I meant "computer game" or, as you call it, even more precisely, PC title.

        About the Hogwarts Express train on the box front: There is no set number involved here (unlike past LEGO train sets). The 5972 numbering is the actual number on the train used in the film. See: (URL) (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
