Contest 119: The Hogwarts Express
This fine photograph of the train used in Harry Potter was snapped in a railway station by a fan of the films. (I've removed the station, obviously, to make it easier for you to select.)

Looks a bit plain against this background, though. Surely we can find a more appropriate setting for such a magical mode of transport?

High res is here.

Trying to make up for the last couple of week's slackness...
I know the pink stars are cheesy but I couldn't resist.

Re: Contest 119: The Hogwarts Express
Oh well, not as fanciful as some, but you don't need to use magic all of the time.

Inspired by Sophie's great leap. I do hope the lady has a forgiving nature. Aintree's stewards wouldn't be to pleased.

These posters get more lifelike everyday!
(inspired by a real Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire billboard I saw that had a 3-D dragon's tail bursting through the paper and bits of broken frame sticking out)

I almost got a picture of the mystery train last night. It's been haunting me for some time now.

Re: Contest 119: The Hogwarts Express
And it's looking like a winner James.

Wayne, great piece of work with the poster. The smoke seems to be one of the hardest items to create convincingly. Lots of you have done well on that. Any tips?
