We went to Orlando last week, and visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando.  We went on the outstanding Forbidden Journey ride three times, ate food at the Three Broomsticks and drank beer at the Hogshead twice, and saw Olivander’s wand emporium once.  Butterbeer tastes like a rootbeer float.  The a capella Hogwarts choir, with toads accompanying, were very good but their Hogwarts wool sweaters and robes looked kind of uncomfortable in the 86 degree weather.  We gave the Dragon’s Challenge roller coaster a miss, but the little Hippogriff coaster was fun.  Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade village look like the ones in the Harry Potter movies, only better because the construction and the details are beautiful and you get to be right there.  It’s so good that you hardly notice the hordes of tourists in scruffy holiday attire.
