Little did Harry Potter know that when he was startled by a large black dog and fell backwards in surprise that he unintentionally summoned the Knight Bus to come to his rescue. When he fell, Harry held out his wand, which is what magically calls the Knight Bus to stranded witches and wizards.
The Knight Bus playset is a loving recreation of the magical bus, and it looks pretty much like it did in the third movie. It has three levels and is very narrow. Each level comes off, revealing beds and seats.
The Knight Bus is well known among the magical community to be a treacherous method of transportation because the driver is incredibly reckless. The beds in this bus slide back and forth, just as the do in the stories.

The set comes with the conductor of the bus. I believe this character is Stan Shunpike, but LEGO® lists him simply as Knight Bus Driver. If you've seen the movie then you know that the driver was an old man and this minifig is clearly a young man like Stan was.
One of my favorite touches on this set is the inclusion of the talking head. You can see it in one of the pictures under the description.
