You cannot purchase a single ticket just to ride the Hogwarts Express, so technically while it will cost you a park-to-park ticket, it does not cost any extra. You will never have to purchase a ticket to ride only the Hogwarts Express, so make sure you are buying the right ticket if you're wanting to ride it.

How scary is the Hogwarts Express? We rate the Hogwarts Express one out of five Dementors in terms of fear factor. With a smooth ride and a mostly passive experience, the attraction really is designed for the whole family.

The train journey is regarded as one of the best in the world so it's worthy of being a bucket list activity in its own right. That being said, if it's just a good photo of the Jacobite train passing over the viaduct you want, then I recommend getting the ScotRail train to Glenfinnan and waiting at the viewpoint.

If there is a short wait, don't use it. If you have an Express Pass, you should probably use that over Single Rider, especially if you want to ride with someone in your group. However, if it's a busier park day, the Standby line is long, and you don't have Express Pass, Single Rider might be your next best option.
