Anyone who truly knows me, knows my love for Harry Potter. There is something captivating about the perfectly crafted magical world that left a lasting impression on me. I anxiously awaited the day I would visit the newly opened Diagon Alley at Universal Studios, Florida. Luckily for me, with some spontaneous decisions, that day came last week. And what a magical world it was. The books came to life with rides, replicas and reenactments.
Highlights included a fire-breathing dragon draped atop Gringotts bank, a vanishing act as you enter platform 9 3/4 to hop aboard the Hogwarts Express, the Dragon Challenge roller coaster and butter beer (the appearance rather than the taste!)
Kids ran around in full Gryffindor robes equip with wands and marauders maps, signature music from the films played throughout the park and with each turn, hidden surprises revealed themselves day after day. The park surpassed my expectations and made it all too easy for muggles to get lost in the enchanting Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
I'm so happy we have a shared love of anything Harry Potter. Visiting Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter with you not once, but twice, was amazing. Can't wait until we can catch the train at Platform 9 3/4 again to those magical lands - and we have to remember our wands the next time!
