News article about spray-paint vandalism inflicted on the train operated by the West Coast Railway in Britian, which appeared as the 'Hogwarts Express' in the 'Harry Potter' movies. The passenger cars were heavily 'tagged', but apparently the vandals were scared off before damaging the restored steamer 'Olten Hall'. As was remarked in the article, "It’s just a shame Harry is not around at the moment to turn them into frogs.”

Not to quibble, but actually the engine in question is a Great Western Railway Hall-class 4-6-0; the Flying Scotsman was an LNER 4-6-2.
