Ten Arrested Over Harry Potter Train Attack

British police have arrested 10 youths suspected of vandalising the Hogwarts Express, the steam train used in the blockbuster Harry Potter films.

The train was attacked at a depot in Carnforth, north-west England, on March 10 and had more than 230 windows smashed with hammers.

"Ten youths have been arrested after 337 windows were smashed on various trains," a spokesman for British Transport Police (BTP) said.

"Ten males aged between 12 and 14, from Carnforth and surrounding areas, have all been arrested in connection to the incident.

"They have been released on police bail pending further inquiries to report back to BTP in the first week of May."

The Hogwarts Express ferries boy wizard Potter and his chums to school in the popular movie series.

The damage will cost at least 50,000 pounds ($120,235) to repair, the train's operator West Coast Railways has said.

BTP and forensic experts spent several days combing the scene for clues.

The train - which is normally hired out for tourists and is used by film company Warner Bros for the Harry Potter movies - was attacked in 2003 when graffiti was sprayed on a carriage.

In October 2005, Harry Potter's flying car - a pale blue 1962 Ford Anglia - mysteriously disappeared from a film set in Cornwall, south-west England. It was found in May last year in a nearby ruined castle.
