Does The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Live up to the Hype?
Being a nerd, I am very hard to please. Things have to be just right and if they are off or are different than the image in my head, I hate it. I love the Harry Potter books, and the movies upset me because they left so much out. They did a good job bringing the look of the world of Harry Potter to life, but I felt like they didn't catch me like the books did. The movies were good for something, however. They led to the creation of the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and it's expansion, Diagon Alley. Both parks exceeded all of my expectations, and I literally burst into tears the first time I saw the Hogwarts Express parked in Hogsmeade. I was crying because I felt that I was in Hogsmeade. Not some muggle half-assed recreation, but the real macoy. Below is my breakdown and guide of some of the attractions in both parks.

IAAPA Day 2: A Trip to a Wizarding World
The head cold is still well in effect. So I take my Dayquil
with coffee and breakfast and get ready for the day.
Boss Man wanted to use his connections get us some free
passes to the parks out in the area, but things don’t always work out the way we
want. The passes ended up being for Sunday… travel day. So, what is a clever
professional to do? Company credit card. We call Big Boss, he Okays the
whole deal, and after one swipe, we’re suddenly inside Universal Studios
Orlando.
