As if the wholesome world ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonswas not magical enough, one player has recreated the iconic Hogwarts Express train fromHarry Potterin the game. The creation gives fans a sense of what platform Nine and Three-Quarters at King’s Cross Station would look like in theAnimal Crossingworld.
Because of how highly customizableAnimal Crossing’s islands are, many players have taken the challenge to recreate iconic locations. The level of detail that goes into replicas such as the “Agatha all along” scene fromWandaVisionortheAmong Usmap that was recreatedin Nintendo’s game is outstanding. Given how creativeAnimal Crossingfans have proven to be, it seems like it was only a matter of time before someone merged an island with theHarry Potterworld.

The Nine and Three-Quarters platform was posted on the Animal Crossing subreddit by user mayor-hel and it has gathered over 14,000 upvotes and several commentspraising how inventive theAnimal Crossingcreation is. According to the comments, the creator used stalls to simulate the Hogwarts Express roof, and instead of having caged owls, there are a couple of hamster cages to resemble the magical creatures students carry with them. The scene is so detailed it even has luggage just like the one Hogwart’s students would carry on their first day, and sofas inside the train to mimic the train’s booths.
As if recreating the location was not cute enough, the three characters in the scene have dark outfits that resemble Hogwarts uniforms. This led to some fans wondering which Hogwarts house some of theAnimal Crossingcharacters would be sorted into. For instance, one of the comments suggests Marshal (who is one of the characters seen in the recreation of King’s Station) would be sorted in Slytherin. The King’s Cross station replica was such a success some users asked for thedesign code so they can also have the custom designon their islands.
Even though it has been a year sinceAnimal Crossing: New Horizonswas released, people are still coming up with amazing setups for their islands. Part of the reason why players are still very invested in this cute game is that Nintendo has released updates and events with new items so that players can keep decorating and customizing both their characters and their islands with cool new objects. Recently,Animal Crossingreleased items inspired byMario Bros.to commemorate Nintendo’s 35th anniversary, andHello Kitty items in collaboration with Sanrio.
