Harry Potter�s famous Hogwarts Express train has been smashed up by vandals.

The film locomotive suffered the attack after six youngsters broke into a railway depot in Carnforth, Lancashire were it was kept and set about it with hammers.

The vandals managed to break 100-windows causing up to �50,000 worth of damage.

A spokesman for The West Coast Railway Company tells The Sun, �The little buggers got in and attacked our coaching fleet - including the Hogwarts Express. I would like to wring their necks.

�It seems that nothing is sacred in this world any more. No one has any respect for anyone else�s property.�

And it�ll put the filming schedule back a bit�
