All aboard the love train! Scarlet beauty Lucy Mecklenburgh joins beau Louis Smith for Harry Potter's Hogwarts Express launch
They were mere preteens when the Harry Potter book franchise first gripped the nation.
But lovebirds Lucy Mecklenburgh, 23, and Louis Smith, 25, proved they were still big kids at heart when they became the first guests at the Harry Potter Studio Tour's brand new Hogwarts Express attraction on Tuesday.
The hot new couple look thrilled to be sharing a first glimpse on Platform 9 3/4 and superfan Louis even grabbed a striped scarf and wand to get into the spirit of things.

Love train: Lucy Mecklenburgh joins beau Louis Smith for the launch of the new Hogwarts Express attraction in London on Tuesday
Lucy was right on point with a scarlet dress that perfectly matched the new Harry Potter attraction as she posed up a storm on the platform.
Her sleeveless mini flattered her athletic shape and cinched in at the waist to reveal the results of her ongoing fitness programme.
The former TOWIE star, with her glossy tresses twisted into ringlets over one shoulder, looked glamorous in black sandals that matched her Chanel handbag.

Superfan: Lucy revealed her Harry Potter fan status when she posed for pictures in front of the train
Lucy's best accessory was new boyfriend Louis, nonetheless, who she's been dating since competing on Tumble, for which he was a gymnastics judge.
At the weekend, she watched her 'handsome' Olympic bronze medal winning boyfriend tumble his way to second place glory at the English Gymnastics Championships.
The couple were the picture of bliss on Tuesday and even perfectly matched each other in height as they posed with arms around each other.

They forged a relationship not long after Lucy competed in the gymnastics reality show and called their first date - an Italian dinner cooked by the athlete at his home - 'the best first date' she'd ever had when they featured in HELLO! magazine last month.
The gymnast claimed he 'tried to sweep her off her feet', and couldn't fault their bond, three months on: 'We've only been seeing each other for three months but it feels so easy, as if we've known each other for ages.'
Lucy and Louis obviously had a mutual affection for the Harry Potter films but Lucy appeared more distracted by her beau when they giggled in the pictures.
Perfect match: Lucy appeared to match her man perfectly in height when they posed with arms around each other

The Hogwarts Express platform at the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Watford was expanded to a 20,000 square foot construction.
It includes the original Hogwarts Express steam engine and a recreation of the iconic platform to give fans a glimpse into how some of the film's most-loved scenes were created.
The attraction will open to the public on March 19, alongside the existing Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts' Great Hall and Diagon Alley favourites from the film.

Complete: The train site will feature alongside the existing Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts' Great Hall and Diagon Alley favourites from the film
They weren't the only closet superfans stopping by that night and Emma Willis and Ben Shepherd were among the famous faces in attendance.
Emma kept her look simple and sophisticated as she layered a long blazer over a leopard print top, with her pixie crop styled to perfection.
The Voice presenter and mother of two wore jeans to reveal her slender frame and stopped for pictures at the front of the new Hogwarts Express train.
Yummy mummy proved that Harry Potter can be fit for any age when she brought along her new baby on Tuesday too.
Out of character: Warwick Davis was, sadly for big fans, out of character as Filius Flitwic on the night
Back in time: Identical twins James Phelps and Oliver Phelps who played Fred and George Weasley were there to see it unveiled
Stars of the franchise, which was made into eight films from seven books, James Phelps and Oliver Phelps were there to see the replica train in all its glory.
They did of course ride the real Hogwarts Express between 2001 and 2011 as identical twins Fred and George Weasley, the older siblings of Ron Weasley, Harry's best friend.
And their on screen father, Arthur Weasley, played by actor Mark Williams was also in attendance, still managing to give the pair a good giggle.
Warwick Davis was, sadly for big fans, out of character as Filius Flitwick on the night and instead dressed in a smart velvet suit.
