| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, occupies the center of the obverse, depicting a right-facing crowned and draped bust of the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, consistent with proof coinage standards. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 2 POUNDS · 2022 ·, with the engraver's initials J.C. incuse below the truncation. The denomination and date are incorporated within the legend, distributed around the upper and lower periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Ffion Gwillim, presents a richly detailed high-relief depiction of the iconic Hogwarts Express steam locomotive advancing from the left, its chimney emitting billowing clouds of steam that frame the upper field. A winged owl in flight is prominently rendered across the locomotive's boiler, while a small figure of a young wizard stands on the platform below, surrounded by luggage including a birdcage. Various Harry Potter iconographic elements — stars, a wand, a Mandrake plant, and a circular textured moon — are distributed across the field. The legend HOGWARTS EXPRESS arcs along the upper periphery, with 25 YEARS OF MAGIC inscribed along the lower exergue, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Harry Potter publishing franchise. |
