Top ten modes of transport in the Harry Potter movies

Planes, trains and automobiles – transport is pretty limited in the world of Muggles. Sure you can “pimp your ride” and all that jazz, but it’s impossible not to feel jealous of all the varied and exciting modes of transport on offer in the magical world of Harry Potter. There’s no need for Harry (played by Daniel Radcliffe) to play ‘I spy’ on a car journey or pack the travel scrabble for a long-haul flight, for he and his chums get to travel in wondrous wizard style. They can choose between transport that is purely fantastical like broomsticks and floo powder and that which originates in the Muggle world yet given an injection of fanciful fiction, such as the Hogwarts Express and the Knight Bus.

And so as Harry and his chums whizz into cinemas once again with the sixth instalment of the J.K. Rowling series, The Half-Blood Prince we’re hitching a ride to rundown the ten best ways of getting from A (Azkaban) to B (Beauxbatons) in the wizarding world.
