Unfortunately, it seems the reasons behind the wizardry addition is still top secret, with Irish Rail yet to respond to customers about the unusual extra route added to their service.

At least they were decent enough not to send passengers on the hunt for Platform 9 ¾.
**Update**
Thanks to reader Marie Hodgson, we have since learned the train and its passengers was organised by Trinity College – with coaches of students dressed up in Harry Potter attire.
We just have one question.
Next time, can we come?
Thanks to Ailish Allen for sending this our way!
