The wizarding world of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade
The main reason why we went to Universal Orlando was to see The wizarding world of Harry Potter. There are few things in life that I have been looking forward to as much as this. When reading those books and watching the movies over and over again, it was hard not to wish I was apart of this world. It was so awesome walking around with the soundtrack music playing in the background, trying butterbeer (which we honestly didn't think tasted more than a weird kind of milkshake) and checking out almost every single place that is in the story. Our first stop was Hogsmeade where Hogwarts and a bunch of fun restaurants and stores are located. Afterwards we took the Hogwarts express to the other park where Diagon Alley is. I didn't know what to expect from the train ride. I thought it would be more like a Disney ride with robots playing out scenes for you but it was just a video with all of the characters in it and you "passed by" London, Hogwarts etc. It was pretty neat how you could see shadows from Harry, Ron, Hermione and dementors moving in the train though.
