For those who have never visited Universal Studios, you must know that the theme park consists of many different themes from Jurassic Park to WaterWorld. That's right, Muggles! Muggles, EVERYWHERE! No bother, all are invited to visit Ollivander's and have the wand choose the wizard! Don't forget to put on the Sorting Hat and be placed into your House! Just remember, the Sorting Hat does take your opinion into consideration... Go Gryffindor! Universal Studios, Hollywood, has created a rather smaller version of the Wizarding World than their Orlando location. However, the quality is no less MAGICAL! Walking through Honeydukes and tasting homemade sweets, while listening to the Harry Potter soundtrack blasting is nothing short of BRILLIANT! Just outside of Hogsmeade, performances are held throughout the day! The Hogwarts Frog Choir is absolutely amazing, giving a modern pop twist on traditional selections! The Beauxbatons Girls Academy and the Durmstrang Institute boys from The Goblet of Fire book also give fun and intense performances! "While we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one." — Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire If it's your first day at Hogwarts, be sure to check in with the Hogwarts Express Conductor to clarify any apprehensive questions. However, by that point, you've already managed to get to Platform 9 3/4! Ten points to Gryffindor! Could there be anything more magical than a room full of homemade sweets? I think NOT! Honeydukes is an absolute wonder! Just don't dare to try the Bertie Botts Jelly Beans! "Alas! Ear wax!" - Dumbledore. Pumpkin Pasties and Cauldron Cakes are a must! However, you can't leave without a Chocolate Frog from the Trolly! Honeydukes is connected to the most wacky toy store, Zonko's Joke Shop! Absolutely BONKERS, if you ask me. If you prefer stationary rather than toys, like myself... GHASP!, then be sure to check out the Owl Post! Throughout Hogsmeade, Butterbeer Carts are at your service! Satisfy your sweet tooth with a creamy, butterscotch delight! Seriously friends, BUTTERBEER is FANTASTIC. One sip and you'll find yourself upgrading your one-day ticket to an annual pass!
You can't forget the rides! The Forbidden Journey is an absolute must! There's no better way to explore the castle! Flight of the Hippogriff passes by Hagrid's hut, of course. This roller coaster is a memorable experience! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is an authentic experience, which I couldn't be more excited about! If visiting, you'll probably find me wandering through Hogsmeade with a Butterbeer in one hand and a wand in the other! Happy Journey! Love Always, Mia.
