Primark has released a magical Harry Potter advent calendar, and it's an actual Hogwarts Express train

October is now nearing an end, meaning it's almost official advent calendar buying month.

If you're a Potterhead, you're in extra special luck, as Primark has just revealed the advent calendar to end all advent calendars, and it's shaped like the *actual* Hogwarts Express train.

Revealing the product on Instagram, Primark wrote: "Fresh from Platform 9¾, our Harry Potter Hogwarts Express advent calendar has arrived into selected stores."

Shoppers were quick to react, with many expressing pure joy over the product.

"Advent calendar 2019 sorted," said one. Another added: "This is AMAZING."

"OMG I need one!" exclaimed somebody else.

The advent calendar contains 24 empty drawers so you can fill it with what you want. Things like Hogwarts socks, jewellery or toiletries would work well.

Or you could channel the train's trolley and put some sweet treats in there - things like a chocolate frog or Bertie Botts beans would be a great shout.

If you're feeling really creative, you could pop some Knuts, Sickles and Galleons in and make it your very own Gringotts bank. Little ones could collect the coins in the run-up to Christmas and then cash them in for a bigger gift at the end.

The Hogwarts Express advent calendars are available to buy in stores now, and cost £15 each.

You can find your nearest Primark store using the handy store locator tool.
