Description
This little wooden piece of wall art is cut in the shape of the Hogwarts Express, the red steam train from the Harry Potter stories. The engine front is printed in black with the number 5972 and a small Hogwarts Express badge, and behind it runs a red carriage with cream window details and black wheels. A ticket-like panel across the front reads Platform 9¾ above the words Hogwarts Express. A golden yellow ribbon loop is fixed at the top for hanging, and the cut edges are left in natural pale wood, which frames the print neatly. Its front measures 9.7cm along the longer side and 7.4cm along the shorter, and it is 1.1cm thick.
Because it is small, it suits a spot where a big picture would crowd things: a bedroom wall, the end of a bookshelf, a cupboard knob or a hook beside a desk. It brings a bright splash of red to a study corner, and the platform panel is a fun nod for anyone heading off at the start of term. We think it makes a cheerful back to school gift, tucked in with a card or a bag of new stationery, or a small treat for yourself as the new school year begins.
The design is printed on the front of the wood, and at 1.1cm thick the piece has a pleasing chunkiness that sits well against a wall. Hang it by its ribbon from a small hook, nail or handle; it needs no frame and no other fixings. To keep the print looking fresh, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as is good practice for any wooden piece. For a little scene of your own, hang it among other small pieces on a wall or a peg rail, and it will add a touch of Hogwarts to the room.
