Hogwarts Express

Welcome to the Hogwarts Express, where Harry Potter fans of all ages gather to discuss the series and, well, just about anything else!

This information thread can help untangle our chaos of nicknames and abbreviations. You're welcome to jump in anywhere, but here are a few special features:

Rereading Harry Potter? So are we! Here are links to the ongoing Group Discussion threads. We also have a few other book discussion threads you might want to check out.

Thank you for coming aboard the Hogwarts Express! We appreciate everyone's help in keeping this a friendly and welcoming environment.
