hp world

my parents asked my brother and i where we wanted to go for christmas. i said harry potter world. and they said okay and did it!! i have the best parents.

so, HARRY POTTER WORLD. we went on december 28th and it was amaaaaaaaaaazing. SO true to the books and movies. down to every detail. it was fantastic. when i saw the castle i started screaming "MOM MOM OH MY GOSH THE CASTLE OH MY GOSH MOM!!!!!" i felt like the ultimate japanese tourist taking a billion photos of every little thing but i could not help it. i was living the dream folks. my childhood dream. let me give you a tour via photos. then get your little hineys down to florida and experience it yourself. sooo incredible!!

we are just THRILLED.

BUTTERBEER. get in my belly. i had 2. it kind of tastes like root beer, cream soda, and ginger ale all mixed, and then it has this super thick sugary frothy stuff on top that is amazing. there was also pumpkin juice, which tasted like pumpkin pie in a cup and was scrumptious.

the three broomsticks!! spectacular inside, and delicious food.

the hog's head

butterbeer carts. these things were lined up forever and they were filling cups as fast as they could. oh, and we went on the busiest day. of the entire year. so sick of people.

waiting in line for the ride in the castle. funny story. on the ride, you stop in front of a huge dragon that blows hot steam at you. well, the ride stopped while we were on it. right in front of the dragon. it blew hot steam on my poor mother for probably a full 30 seconds. funniest. thing. of all times. she was screaming and screaming and part laughing and i was absolutely dying laughing. also, we waited in line for 2 1/2 hours to get on. so then when we got off the ride, this guy was like "since the ride stopped, if you would like to ride it again, come through here." he let us into this secret door and we got right back on!!! we could have done it 3+ times, but i felt toooo queasy. stupid body.

hogs.

they wouldn't allow "loose items" on the ride so we tied my precious souvenir cup to wyatt's belt, and then used it to hold change and cell phones and whatever.

inside the castle: house points

talking portraits that really did talk!!

the pensieve. i wish i would have taken a hundred more photos of the castle because it was all exactly like the movies. they even had a huge replica of dumbledore's office that you walked through with all the whirligigs and gadgets on the wall, and a video projection of albus himself talking to you.

up to dumbledore's office

my snape keychain, that i love

hagrid's hut!

honeydukes!! i should have taken more pictures of this too...there were chocolate frogs and sugar quills and fizzing whizbees and bertie bott's beans and every harry potter treat you can imagine!

there you have it. mischief managed.

i like my brain sometimes

last night, well, really this morning, i had the ultimate dream about Harry Potter. it was prolly in the top 5 best dreams i have ever had. and the best part? my alarm went off, and i fell back asleep, and the dream started off RIGHT WHERE I LEFT OFF. i love when that happens. it was so good. i can't stop thinking about it.

happy birthday to you

Mr. Harry Potter.

HP.

Ahh, let's relive a few prized moments from that magical movie that we all loved and saw this weekend one to several times.

Snape. Everything about all of that was perfect. Especially his last words. Oh how I cried.
When Hermione stabs the horcrux and they finally kiss.
Voldemort hugged Malfoy. Ahhhhaahahahahah.
McGonagall. I have never loved her so much.
When a Death Eater flies in through the window at Kingsley, and he freezes him in midair and blasts him back out the window.
Neville slicing the snake's head off.
When the teachers start preparing defenses for the castle. I had the nervous shakes through that whole thing.
When Snape is threatening the students and Harry walks out.
When Voldemort dies, and how vile and terrible he looks. But he's finally gone.
Oh, and the 3D glasses were round like HP glasses.

Of course the list is never ending. It may be my favorite movie out of the 8. I felt all lonely and sad after it was over, but now I am just content. It couldn't have been a more perfect end, and that's that.

goodbye, childhood

I honestly cannot think about anything else right now. I am just too too excited for this.

















I have the craziest butterflies. I just love everything about this so much. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself when it's over. I can't even stand it. Accio Thursday.

the end is near

I just purchased my Harry Potter ticket. Excitement levels are sky high. Now I am going to read all the books and finish them before the movie. Ready...GO.



28 more days.

mind blown.

^^ Bahaha.

Ahhhhh. Ah. Ah. Ah. It was so incredible!!! Everything about it was perfect. It was so scary and evil. The locket. Ahh! And it was funnay. I loved all the Harry's at the beginning. I may have shed a tear for Hedwig. And Dobby's end was per-fect. How does JK Rowling make you love all the characters so much? It is insane. Holy crud. My heart was pounding so hard the whole time. Just knowing what was going to come next. The next one is going to be indescribable. I can't stop thinking about it. I have to see it a hundred more times. Ahhhhh.

deathly hallows.

I'm so ready. And after I watch the 6th one tonight I will be even readier. It is going to be the most epic of all movies. I am going to be a heartbroken teenage girl when it's over. Accio midnight.

expelliarmus.

I have decided that some of the most beautiful people on earth are in Harry Potter.



Swoon.



Emma freaking Watson and Bonnie freaking Wright. Can I have your faces?



Especially this boy. Oh my gosh I heart gingers.
