I saw it at last. Finally Monday, the day before my birthday-with-a-zero, I visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Not really knowing what to expect, I was delighted. I felt like I had truly ventured to another world when I arrived.
The castle, Hogwarts, is magnificent…and huge. It is exactly what I imagine it would be like to be inside a castle. Of course today’s technology makes the talking and moving pictures easy to believe. I recommend the ride as well as the castle tour so you can take photos. I did feel just a little bit dizzy after the ride, so if you, too, are one of those, be careful.
My only–and greatest–disappointment was that I did not see any of the familiar characters anywhere. In Orlando, the land of Mickey and Minnie after all, I fully expected to have photo opps with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Particularly when I dined in Three Brooms Restaurant on the premises. But they were nowhere to be seen.
We were there many hours and returned the next day, and I still did not run into anyone. They appear in the castle in the form of movies running in sets, but I dearly wanted to meet Harry and have my picture with him.
Am I the only one who did not see them in person (in character)? Am I the only one disappointed by that?
