Eleven ...
Year 1: Twice (to school and back)
Year 2: Once (only rode the train home **from** school, he and Ron took the flying car to school)
Years 3, 4, 5, and 6: Twice (to school and back, all four years)
Year 7: None (didn't return to school)
The actual answer is 12 mr. navigator .read the books again. Harry took the train on a trip other then to school and home once. I guess you missed that.ww http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20080916143702AAvw82T&kid=Qo1dLGXcOW8zt3P8UBla&s=comm&date=2008-11-16+06%3A26%3A33&.crumb=
Did Harry also ride the express when he returned home for Christmas in the Order of the Pheonix? He was certainly home in Grimmauld Place for Christmas so how did he (and all the other students who go home for Christmas every year) get home? I think there is referrence to the express taking people home at Christmas in other books!
Therefore total time he rode the express, 13!
You should read the books they are really good.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry and Ron take the Weasleys' flying car. Doby stopped Harry from getting on the train. He thought Harry would be safe if he couldn't go to school. That was year two.
He did not take the train in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, year 7.
7-2=5.
You should see if your library has the audio books.
Would this have anything to do with the on-line competition on the HORNBY website this month ? The question is "How many times did Harry Potter ride the Hogwarts Express". As I am entering this competition, you will forgive me for not telling you.
He rode it every year except his second and seventh year. In his second year he and Ron take Mr. Weasley's flying Ford Anglia because the barrier wont let them through to the train platform. And in his seventh year Harry doesnt return to Hogwarts.
eleven. Twice in the first year, once in the second year, twice the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years, then he skipped his last year of school.
Back and forth in Year 1 ~ 2
To home in Year 2 ~ 1
Back and forth in Year 3 ~ 2
Back and forth in year 4 ~ 2
Back and forth in Year 5 ~ 2
Back and forth in Year 6 ~ 2
2(5)+1=11 times =]
if you mean going to hogwarts and back, eleven times. i think...
Five. Sorcerer's Stone, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, and Half-Blood Prince. In Chamber of Secrets he and Ron took the flying Ford Anglia and he didn't return to Hogwarts in Deathly Hallows.
I think he rode it all but two years. One year when he was late and took the car there with Ron and the last year he did not because he didn't return to school. I'd say 5 times.
