Has anyone been to the locations of the Harry Potter films?

[hpoldfan]

This was a tour run by HP Fan trips for the opening of POA. What 
happened according to  the tour director, they talked to the owners 
of the train wondering if they could hold a party in one of the 
cars. The reply was "they would really like to run the train as it 
does not get out very much" Our group had exclusive use of the two 
cars that you see in the movie, several other cars were made 
available for promotion by a local radio station. If I remember 
correctly there were a total of 7 cars.

The facinating thing was even through we were almost an hour late 
leaving the station how many people were waiting at the side of the 
tracks for the train to pass. When we paralleled the highway, cars 
would pull over and stop until we passed.

I do not know if this was a one time thing or not.
