Geoff:
I think, Dementors and Malfoy apart, Harry's experiences on the 
Hogwarts Express have been reasonably good in terms of the actual 
rail journey. My own experiences on UK railways, mainly longer 
distance journeys, have been pretty good in recent years. 

I dearly want to see Mark Evans revealed as Harry's long lost 
something-or-other.....

I dearly want to see Harry survive. Never mind the golden sunsets and 
the fields of swaying flowers. Survive will suffice.

I dearly want to see England wipe the floor with France in the Rugby 
World Cup final; I wonder if an excellent Quidditch Seeker might help 
their chances? Portkey for Harry to Sydney anyone?
