A Day Enjoying the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

You can enjoy a day full of magic at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Visit both parks to be fully immersed into all the Harry Potter fun and action.

Going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was the number one thing that my best friend, Emily, and I had to do while she was visiting from Seattle this spring.

When we both lived in Boston, we would see the movies together when they were released. And, ever since I moved to Florida we talked about getting to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter together.

Mischief Managed

Price took me to the MOS for my birthday to see the Harry Potter Exhibit (previously posted). I’m trying to get better at scrapbooking things immediately so I have the ideas and memories fresh in my head so I got my photos developed and got to work. I used a Stampin’ Up! patterned paper that I had for a while but had not used. I always wanted to used the red/pink paper but never knew what to used it for.  I felt it fit with Harry Potter because I always think of the elegantly decorated Hall in the movies with fine tapestry and floating candles.

The chandler, that I cut using my Cricut Home Decor cartridge, is to represent the floating candles. I felt the chandler would look better than a bunch of floating candles ‘thrown’ on to the page.

 

HARRY POTTER!!!!!!

I had never been to a midnight movie, until now.

Emily, Price and I went to see the 12.01am show at Lowe’s. Emily and I counted down all day until 12am. Price was scared. As excited as we were we did not get that into it. I just can’t rationalize dressing up to see a movie. It was quite entertaining to watch all the wizards crowd into the theatre. If I was a comedian I would have gotten so much great material just from the night’s experiences.

We met at Parish Cafe for some food  (no beers- Emily and I have bad luck when it comes to falling asleep and throwing up at shows so we did not want to risk it) . Ran over to  CVS for candy. HOLY CRAP! they had strawberry peanut butter M&M’s. Then walked over to Loews. It was crazy town there. Some guy from Lowe’s was on a bullhorn directing people. And then we finally got to see the movie. The movie was fantastic!! But I would like to thank the theater for stating a movie over 20 minutes late. And the annoying guy behind us who banged into our seats every time he left  to use the bathroom.

All in all, great night! great movie! great candy! I loved the fact that it was my first midnight movie, that Price was a good sport about they whole night even though I dumped a packet of pop rocks into my mouth, got an inch away from his ear and opened my mouth while we were waiting for the movie to start and kept nudging him when he was starting to fall asleep, and that I managed to get through my day on 3 hours of sleep.
