The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Hey everyone! I thought that since I was fortunate enough to get to go to Universal Studios Orlando and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter I should share my experience! It was really, really awesome!

Warning! Picture heavy post!

 This is the castle, how you see it when you're waiting to enter that part of the park. Isn't it amazing?

 Hogsmeade

 The welcome sign.

 The left says Hogwarts.

 The greenhouse when you're waiting in line for HP and the Forbidden Journey. Most of the line is out there.

 Mandrakes!

 House Points. This is one of the first things that you see when the line goes through the castle.

 The entrance to Dumbledore's office. You get to see his office while you're in line, but they hurry you along and you barely have time to take any pictures.

 A news paper with a moving picture.

 The Hogwarts Express! This is what you first see when you enter Hogsmeade directly. Well, that and the cart of butterbeer, but I didn't get a picture of that.

 That's me in front of Honeydukes. Sorry it's sideways.

 Me drinking butterbeer!

And me by the sign on the way out of the park, all gross and disgusting from being in 100 degree heat walking around all day!

There is so, so much more to see, but there were so many people and everyone was rushed. I didn't get to take as many pictures as I would have liked. The pictures don't do the place justice, it's just so cool! I really hope that you all get to go at least once!

  5. How cool, Taylor! Major jealously going one here!
    Judging from the pictures, the entire wizarding world was incredible, but answer one question for me: what did the butterbeer taste like? :)
    Love, Hannah
