Primark has announced the release of a Harry Potter inspired advent calendar shaped like the Hogwarts Express train.

The retailer shared the news on Instagram with the post already gaining more than 58,000 likes and hundreds of comments.

Shaped like the red Hogwarts Express, the front of the train is the spitting image of the famous magical train and is detailed in golden paint with a neat little sign saying ‘Hogwarts Express’ and the train’s number ‘5972’.
