I Want To Go Here

I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I have read the books over and over and love them all the more each time. I would love to go and be able to experience the world of Harry Potter first hand. J.K. Rowling has done an amazing job creating this magical, yet believable, world. How amazing for her-to have this idea she created turned into a theme park to be visited by millions world wide! Crazy, but brilliant! I have only read a little about the theme park but it sounds amazing. I know it will include the castle, something from each book, the village of Hogsmead, three main rides, and virtual experiences like a wand choosing you. They are still building, but it is suppose to open the middle of June. I know it will probably be several years until I get the chance to go but it is definitely something I am looking forward too!

Speaking of Harry Potter, on campus the other day, Cole saw on a sign that K-State offers a Harry Potter class. What a great idea for a class. But it is no easy going class. It is like a 400 level class and quite intense. I like the fact that it is not just a blow off class but it really delves into the writing, its influence on  literature, and stuff like that. I know in all the elementary schools I spent time in, you would be really out of the loop if you were not familiar with Harry Potter. It is amazing how far reaching the Harry Potter influence has gone, and as far as I am concerned, it can keep on going.

I LOVE Harry Potter,too! I was soo happy, yet soooo sad when the series ended. I wish there is another book like Harry Potter so I can continue to have the experiences I had with Harry Potter. Sadly, there's nothing to replace it. :(

Oh! And thanks for inviting me to your blog! And I love having your husband in the branch! :)

I know! I can't wait to go to the park sometime. When we had seen pictures/heard about the news, we attempted to make our own butter beer but it really just tasted like caramelly cream soda-which isn't all that bad.
