I want my letter, dang it!!!



Hogwarts.  Beautiful.  The ride is awesome – though I actually enjoyed the line more than the ride itself.  The line starts outside and winds through the greenhouse, which then goes into the castle.  You walk in and see Dumbledore’s staircase.  You go around it and head into the Headmaster’s office, with Dumbledore standing up on the second floor of his office talking to you.  Then you go into the hall and there’s a bunch of talking and moving portraits.  Then you go to an outer room with more talking portraits.  Then a classroom where Ron, Hermione and Harry talk to you from a staircase.  I think it was the Defense Against the Dark Arts section.  When Ron does a spell, the first time we went through the lights flickered and there was a loud crash and flash like lightening.  The second time we went through, it started to snow in the room, which was WAY cooler!  So then you go through another hall and you’re to the ride which takes you through books 1-4, pretty much.  It’s got some scary parts.  Parts where you’re upside down, sideways, etc.  It jostles you a bit.  But it was fun and great to experience!

Coincidentally, this picture was taken on the 1 year anniversary of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter being open.  There were no celebrations :(  They suck!
