The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

The only thing in the world that I am a total geek about is Harry Potter.  When I jokingly mentioned going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter on our next Florida trip, and the idea was APPROVED, I could have died happy right there.  I'm SO glad I didn't.  IT.  WAS.  AMAZING.

When my Dad and I got to the entrance to Hogsmeade, I literally skipped in.  (Yes, I'm 6 years old.)  It was BEAUTIFUL.

First stop was Hog's Head to try a BUTTERBEER!

(which was DELISH, by the way.)

As you're walking through Hogsmeade you can go in many of the shops.  There's Honeydukes...

Zonko's...

Olivanders...

And many others.  Including The Three Broomsticks, which was the EXACT same design as the movie...  They actually designed the one in the park before the film!  Cool little fact.

THEN, as you walk through Hogsmeade, you get to...

HOGWARTS!  You walk through the castle to get to one of the most amazing rides I've ever been on IN MY LIFE.

It truly was SUCH a rad day for a HP geek like myself.  I loved every second.  I have more pictures on my Facebook if you're interested.  


Best. Day. Ever.
