Jacob took about 200 pictures, so I think we're covered on the requested pictures

Here's a few of the Harry Potter ones:





I got Helga Hulfflepuff in my chocolate frog. The pumpkin juice I did not like one bit, but that's not surprising considering I don't like pumpkin all that much.

We also got a wand, but not at Ollivander's because there was a gigantic line waiting to get in. Went in all the other shops though.
The HP part of the park was, of course, *crowded*. We got early admission to the park with our package and there were already a ton of people there, and than that just tripled when the park opened to the general public. The main HP ride in the castle though was amazing

, and we managed to get on it twice with virtually no wait (first time when the park had just opened to people with early admission tickets, and second time when we went as single riders and skipped the 60 minute wait). Only drawback to that was that we were rushed through the touring part, where you see the dungeons and classrooms and portrait room and what not.
