27 March 2007: Muggles Muck Up Magic Train?

British Police are looking for whoever wrecked the Hogwarts Express, the steam train that ferries boy wizard Harry Potter and his chums to school in the blockbuster films.

The train -- which is normally hired out for tourists and is loaned to film company Warner Bros. for the Harry Potter films -- was attacked at its depot in Carnforth, northwest England and had more than 230 of its windows smashed with hammers. The damage will cost at least 50,000 pounds to repair.

Transport Police and forensic experts have spent several days combing the scene for clues but no-one has been arrested yet and enquiries are continuing.

Whether Harry Potter and his pals are also on the case was not revealed.
