There was so much to show that I couldn't fit it into one post.
As promised, The Hogwarts Express!! The actual train is there now! They appeared to have made this a more permanent tourist attraction and have added a lot of new things, most importantly the train!
You can even walk through it!
And of course they had Platform 9 3/4.
There is a proper eating area now and they changed the recipe for butter beer! This time it was only poured out of one tap and they added whip cream to the top. Last time there were only a few tables outside on the back-lot and the butter beer was a combination of two liquids that when poured, kept foaming and growing and spilling over if you couldn't drink it fast enough and none of us could because it was so over the top sweet - Zuzu was the only one that like it. This time however it wasn't as sweet and we all enjoyed it.
The Knight Bus!
Number 4, Privet Drive.
The Hogwarts Bridge.
The Ford Anglia.
Hagrid's Motorbike.
The Special Effects Room.
Buckbeak - he even moves!
Diagon Alley.
The Castle - which is one of the coolest things on the whole tour.
The Wands.
The girls each tried on the Sorting Hat in the gift shop.
And finally some souvenirs, Zuzu chose Hedwig and the little Pygmy Puff this time - the wand and Crookshanks were from a few years ago.
We're all a little Harry Potter crazy in our house if you hadn't already guessed.
I can't wait to hug Hedwig! Great pictures. I wish I'd been able to go. But there's only so much time. If you were there one more year.....but it's better than you're coming home.
