Soooo, the Hogwarts Express rolled into Ireland this week, apparently

You guys, the Hogwarts Express came to Ireland and we missed it. While I’m so totally bummed I wasn’t able to hop on board, my heart is warmed by the adorable gesture that was caught by many befuddled travelers at Heuston station and posted on Twitter for us all to enjoy.
