There are not many words that I can say that would accurately describe Diagon Alley at Universal Studios.....Awesome, Incredible, Fantastic are three words that come to mind! They built it just the way you would imagine it to look and with careful attention to detail. Paige was our resident expert on all things Harry Potter and approved of everything. One of our first stops of course was Ollivanders Wand Shop where we picked up our wands. You can select the wand of your favorite character or choose your own. It was a difficult choice but I decided to go with Hermione's, Paige with Ginny Weasley's and Alex with Dumbledore's. Don preferred to stay a Muggle. The fun part is that as you walk around Diagon Alley, there are spots to wave your wand and make things happen....awesome wizard fun! Then we hopped on the Hogwarts Express and went over to Hogsmead. This park had beautiful structures and the majestic Hogwarts castle. We enjoyed delicious Butter Beer here but we could have used something warmer as it was another cold, rainy day. I guess the weather completed our British experience. Throughout our magical day, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be JK Rowling and see what she created in her mind, now physically real and visited by thousands of people every day!
