in The Prisoner of Azkaban and The Goblet of Fire
You watch interested
as the first years stumble along after Hagrid on their traditional
journey. You smile as you fondly remember your own journey
when you first came to Hogwarts. The mass of people
push you along the platform towards a bumpy dirt path. After
a minute, you see over a hundred stagecoaches awaiting your arrivial.
You climb in one with a few friends and realize that the
coaches appear to be pulled by some sort of invisible horse as
they set off on their own down the road, bumping and swaying in
procession.
The carriage trundles
toward a pair of magnificent wrought iron gates, flanked with
stone columns topped with winged boars. The carriage picks
up speed on the long, sloping drive up to the castle.
Finally it swayed
to a halt and you step out. You join the crowd swarming
up the steps, through the giant oak front doors, and into the
old castle you haven't entered since the close of last term- Welcome
back to Hogwarts!!!!!!
