We saw the entire line for the first time last night, all available in
Wal-Mart (@ 620 & 183 in Austin). They look very nice, and the prices are

BTW I couldn't tell from the Hogwart's Express box if it comes with track.
They conveniently clouded it out in all the shots. And I assume that it is

two)? If not, I'll have to play with it and see if I can come up with
something that looks good.

| The Hogwart's Express doesn't come with proper train wheels and so can't be run on Lego track as built. It can be easily converted over though, using proper wheels and I believe that the instruction show you how to do that (although I don't yet have (...)
