Harry Potter

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is actually just a tiny area inside Universal Studios. I must say, I was a little disappointed at the size, but the amazing details around the park made up for it. One employee told us that they never anticipated so many people visiting the park, so they thought it didn't need to be very big. They were wrong. It's incredible. Everyone should go :) I liked what Marcus said about the park-- apparently, despite all the magic, the Wizarding World has yet to figure out a solution to the humidity problem in Florida. Haha. But you should still go!

I probably have a billion pictures of just this part of the trip. I picked only a couple from each major attraction, so hopefully you'll get the feel.

The Hogwarts Express

Hogwarts

Herbology

(walking through to enter the castle)

Inside the Castle

Dragon Challenge

(awesome roller-coaster)

Entering Hogsmede

Walking Around

(with hundreds/thousands of other people)

Hogs Head

for butterbeer (loved it!)

The Owlry

Dervish and Banges

Ollivanders

Honeydukes

What a great day! Well, great morning three different times :) Due to the crowds, we woke up early to get in line for either the castle ride, roller-coaster, or Ollivanders. But we did it all.

Moral of the story, I LOVE Harry Potter!

Good thing Derek and Cozette do too. :)
