Eager Harry Potter fans were excited to get a glimpse of the Hogwarts Express steam train roll through the Drumry Train station in Clydebank, Scotland last week.

Unfortunately, onlookers on the opposite platform had their view entirely blocked by an local train headed in the opposite direction.

Originally advertised to arrive at the station around 18:13 local time, even the magical Hogwarts Express was running late, leading to the unfortunate timing of the passing train in the opposite direction. The timing literally could not have been worse for these disappointed fans on the wrong platform.
