Inside The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter

Post by PrincePhillipFan »

So as I said in the pictures thread, on my recent trip to Florida, my gf and I were allowed inside the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure. We managed to walk around the area for a bit, try some Butterbeer (the most delicious beverage I've ever tasted), and got to ride The Forbidden Journey twice. All together it was an excellent time! :D

Here's a couple of pictures I got around the area. Sadly many of the shops were too crowded today to get inside. We went inside the owlry, which is such a narrow shop that we came out feeling claustrophobic because of all the people lol.

Sadly I was unable to get anything in the queue for the Foribbden Journey as I had to check my camera at the locker, but the queue alone is a completely immersive experience in itself, featuring Dumbledore's office, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the talking portrait, the Fat Woman's portrait, the sorting hat, and the herbology class.

Am I the only one that finds it weird how the roofs have snow in them even though its clearly a bright day in summer? :p

This looks great. I love the attention to detail, including the Magical Me book as well as the snowman with the owl :) .

Wow! It looks fabulous. I've been wanting to go that HP amusement park since I heard plans of there being one.

Makes me think of Willy Wonka's ice cream that can sit in the sun all day and never go runny. :3

That's actually really cool. I'm not a HUGE Harry Potter fan, but I do enjoy the books and movies. Very cool.
But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.
