Description
This porcelain mug carries the Hogwarts Express steaming across a matt burgundy body, picked out in bright gold with a soft cream plume of smoke trailing towards the handle. On the front, the words Hogwarts Express frame the engine as it passes a row of gold arches, with a little signpost reading London to Hogsmeade beside it and gold stars scattered across the sky. Turn it round and the back reads A Magical Journey, London to Hogwarts, with a 9¾ roundel and a small Hogwarts Express badge beneath. It is a round mug standing 9.8cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 8cm deep, and it holds 340ml, a proper everyday cup of tea or coffee rather than a dainty sip.
It sits happily on a kitchen shelf or beside the kettle, and it earns its place on a desk or bedside table too, where the gold handle catches the light between cups. The 340ml size suits a morning coffee, an afternoon tea or a hot chocolate on a cold evening. Because the design runs on both sides, there is something to look at whichever hand you hold it in. It is a cheerful way to bring a little of the journey from London to Hogwarts into the everyday.
The body is porcelain with a matt burgundy finish, set off by a fine gold rim at the lip and a curving, glossy gold handle with a small curl at the top. Inside, the cream interior hides one last detail: a Platform 9¾ roundel at the bottom marked Departure 11am, waiting for you at the end of your drink. To keep the gold looking its best, we suggest washing it gently by hand with a soft cloth and drying it straight away. Set it out on a tray with a stack of favourite books, or wrap it with a bag of good tea for a thoughtful present.
