Hogsmeade station is a train station. It has a train which runs to and from Hogwarts Castle and King's Cross Station. It appears throughout the Harry Potter book series. It has a tiny platform. There is a road leading out of the station which goes around the school grounds to the front gates of Hogwarts. It also skirts the village of Hogsmeade.[1]
On the first of September every year, the Hogwarts Express drops students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the station. The Keeper of Keys and Grounds greets the first year students here and guides them to the school over the nearby lake.[2] Elder students will take Thestral-driven carriages waiting right outside the station.[3] There are at least a hundred carriages.[4]
