Department 56 Harry Potter Village, First-Year Harry and Ron in Lit Boat, Brand New in Box

No more'n four to a boat! First crossing of the Black Lake, lantern lit, giant squid politely not mentioned.

Introduction

In Philosopher's Stone, the newest Hogwarts students do not arrive at the castle by carriage. They come by water, ferried across the great Black Lake in a fleet of little wooden boats, each lit by a single glowing lantern, with Hagrid leading the way. Here are Harry and Ron bundled together in one of those boats, wide-eyed and bound for the castle for the very first time.

It is dark, and the lake is still, and then the boats round a bend and Hogwarts rises up ahead, its windows blazing against the night sky. Nobody speaks. There is only the gentle knock of oars and the sight of the place that is about to become home. For two eleven-year-olds who have found each other on the train that very day, it is the beginning of everything.

The lantern glows, the water shines, and the whole future is still ahead of them.

If you remember the flutter of that first glimpse of the castle, this little boat brings it back in an instant. Place it near your Boathouse and you keep the very start of the journey, all hope and lantern light, right where you can see it.
