Good Morning, Tinkers!
Not sure if the Muggles are aware of this, but today is Back to Hogwarts Day! School starts up every year on this day for us witches and wizards. In honor of this special day, I thought I would take you all on a mini-photo safari of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
If you're a Harry Potter fan and you haven't gotten there yet, you MUST plan a trip as soon as you can! It's more "right out of the movie" than almost ANY other land I have experienced in a theme park, (the one exception being Carsland in California Adventure). You truly get to see what it's like stroll the streets of Diagon Alley, to ride the Hogwarts Express, and to arrive in Hogsmeade. Then you even get to explore the interior of Hogwarts Castle, as you wind through the queue of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
Now, in all honesty, I have yet to ride any of the rides. Partially because I haven't been there at times when it was convenient to do so, and partially because I am a scaredy cat. I know, Booooooooooo! I'm working on it, ok? In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this photographic trip into Harry's world. Oh, and safe travels back to Hogwarts today! I think I hear the Hogwarts Express coming, so you better head on out to Platform 9 3/4 and be ready! Have a great year!
