a funny blog my roomie stumbled upon...

I hope you find this to be as amusing as I did. I think I laughed for about 20 minutes straight while perusing this blog. Enjoy!

P.s. Beware. Some of the content is rather crude.

COPING WITH AROMAS
When the bathroom air has been slain in an epic battle with someone’s ass, besides exorcising those reeking demons with all that modern technology has to offer, let’s warn each other about what lies on the other side of the door with the faux gravitas of a Lord of the Rings character, because you know how that cracks me up.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Oh my goodness. Where do I begin? The park is absolutely amazing. Its all the way at the back of Universal Studios Islands of Adventure and there's actually a lie to get into this part of the park. The first thing you see is this sign that says "Please respect the spell limits" and then you see the Hogwarts Express. It was soooo exciting!! :)


THe Hogwarts Express!!!
Hogsmead covered in snow
Chocolate covered frogs at Honeydukes Sweet Shop!
Quidditch gear
Please excuse the crazed look on my face. I was VERY excited about getting my Gryffindor robe and my Sirius Black wand!!!! (P.S. I already know I'm a dork!)
The Three Broomsticks
Yummy lunch at the Three Broomsticks and a delicious Butterbeer (get the frozen kind instead of the carbonated kind!)
Hogwarts Castle entrance
Hogwarts crest
House beads  - I was really excited about this! 
Tapestry Map of the Castle grounds
Dumbledore's study 

The Sorting Hat!





Hagrid's Cabin
Buckbeak the Hippogriff
The Castle from the Flight of the Hippogriff ride
I wish this had been an actual shop with custom parchment, but I was able to get cool stationary and stamps at Dervish and Banges. 
I would really like a self-stirring pot ;)

The flying Ford Anglia

Honeydukes Sweet Shop
Chocolate Cauldron Cakes from Honeydukes.
Mom and I having a great time at the park

Have you seen this wizard?! I LOVE Sirius Black :)


The Triwizard Rally
 So, these are just a handful of the pictures I took. We had a fantastic day and the best part was that I got to share the experience with my wonderful husband and my beautiful momma. It couldn't have been better... Plus I had two Butterbeers and got my robe and wand!! What a day!

Do yourself a favor and make your way to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure on Orlando, Florida!!!
