potter alert: wait there's more

No Comments

 Several more days to go before the last installment of the last book opens in theaters worldwide, + I must say I have quite a bittersweet feeling about it. Happy that, finally I will get to see the highly-anticipated completion of The Deathly Hallows, but sad at the same time, knowing that after these there will never no more books to anticipate + movies to watch out for. It is the end of our Harry Potter adventure + for someone who’s been hooked for almost a decade now, I do not know how I’d cope with the loss.

Until I came across this new site that author, JK Rowling is launching on the 31st, Pottermore. According to the teaser, Pottermore is a free website that builds an exciting online experience around the reading of the Harry Potter books + readers are asked to come back on 31st July to find out how you can get the chance to enter Pottermore early.

I’ve readily signed up with the site + am keeping my fingers crossed that it shall be enough to tide us over 😀

tuesday travels: wizarding world of harry potter, florida

9 Comments

If I can be anywhere in the world with just a blink of an eye, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be my top choice.  I have been a Potter fan for a decade now + the chance to see the lovely world of Harry Potter come to life will be a treat of a lifetime!  I’d love to run my fingers in the smooth crevices of the Hogwarts walls + be awed + amazed at its magnificence. I would love to see the Griffindor’s Common room, as well as the boys’ + girls’ dormitories, and the Great Hall. I would probably feel like I am a 12-year old again in this magical-world-comes-to-life adventure, imagine everything I have read + envisioned in my mind is suddenly tangible + real!

I’d definitely waste no time in exploring the rest of this massive place I am sure, I will try to visit each and every nook + cranny, making sure to not miss a thing! I’d go down to Hogsmeade and sample their butterbeer + a host of other treats + I will also make a rounds of The Three Broomsticks + Hog’s Head. + if that is not enough, I will sure to visit the diners, too,  so I can taste a treacle tart or a pudding, or the ever famous pumpkin juice.

After all the food binge is done, I will head to Zonko’s + Honeydukes to buy some treats I can bring home + some souvenirs I can give to friends + family.  I’d love to buy some packs of Every Flavor Beans + a wand or two perhaps, for my son as well.

I am not sure If I’d be able to save enough in the future so I can realize this dream, but I will be sure to include it in my bucket list, just in case + will just delight myself in catching the conclusion to this colossal world phenomenon in 3d cinemas come July 15! 😉
