"If we turn our heads and look away and hope that it will all disappear then they will - all of them, an entire generation of people. And we will have only history left to judge us."

Filming of the Hogwarts Express for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire forced a scenic train line to be shut down temporarily.
September weekend trippers were diverted on to buses for an 80-minute journey back from the coast along a road that is single-track in places.
Angry locals described the move as 'madness'.
Hollywood executives booked the slot so the Hogwarts Express could be filmed once more on the line which crosses the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, near Fort William.
The article also mentions that "around 100 Highland youngsters climbed aboard the Express as extras for the new film." It was rumored in August that we would only glimpse the Hogwarts Express in the movie and that there would be no footage from the inside. However, it seems pointless to hire 100 extras for a scene in which you cannot see them, so the validity of that rumor remains in question.
