Since 2001, Hornby have had in their range the solo models that make up Hogwarts Express, the train that featured in the first of the Harry Potter books. Since then, the models have been re-released to coincide with the release of each of the subsequent Harry Potter films and while the models have remained the same, the packaging has changed to match designs to promote each film. This year the design is for the film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
While the locomotive has yet to arrive, the four coaches (based on the Hornby Mk1 composite and brake end) are now available in their new packaging. They are - brake end '99723' (R4309A) and '99312' (R4309B) and composite '99716' (R4308A) and '99718' (R4308B).
