Our verdict

The UGears Hogwarts Express is a wooden kit of the train from Harry Potter, with a locomotive, coal tender and passenger carriage. UGears US lists it at $109.99 for ages 14+, with 504 parts and about 7 hours of assembly. A spring motor is wound with a key, and the carriage holds Harry, Hermione and Ron figurines that sway as it moves.

We found no owner reviews we could read on the store page. UGears says the train travels about 4 meters with both cars, or 6 meters with the locomotive alone, on a smooth flat surface, and that the locomotive alone takes about 3 hours to build.

It suits Harry Potter fans who want a long build that moves. Skip it if you want a short project or a set under $100.
