Description
Just a shot of Hogwarts from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Orlando FL.I tried hard not to get anything in the shot that doesnt belong to make it look as authentic as I could.
I love the Forbidden Forest around it and I can just imagine the Black Lake further on down ^__^
Enjoy, Potter fans!

Orlando... :/ I thought Harry Potter was filmed in New Zealand?

I think most of it was, at least for the scenery probably. But this is a shot from the castle at the theme park in Orlando. Its part of Universal/Islands of Adventures, Wizarding World of Harry Potter ^^

wow it's amazing!!!
is the castle really as big as i imagine? sorry for the stupid question but i can't imagine how big it is ^-^''

Hmm, not to disappoint you, but its not quite as big as you think it would be. But its still pretty massive. I guess it depends on what you're notion of big is

hey thank you 
an just one more question :3 where do you visit all the rooms like dumbledores office and so...is it in the castle or somewhere else?
thank you

Like I said, it is pretty big, but it depends on your concept of big, lol. Personally I think its pretty big too ^^
Yeah, all of the rooms are in the queue to wait in line for the ride inside the castle
You're welcome! Feel free to ask anything else. I enjoy talking to other people

This is a great shot! I went for the first time today, and it was completely incredible! The ride was fantastic, but going through the castle for the wait is what really blew me away!

Thank you very much. Yay! I am always so excited to hear about other fans who get to visit the park. I'm really glad you enjoyed yourself
How did you like the butterbeer? ^__^
π: 0 β©: 1
I feel the same way! I started spazing out when I entered the castle XD
The butterbeer was great! It tasted like carmel, butterscotch, and happiness! I got the souvenir mug, and use it all the time

Me too! I felt all misty-eyed XD lol!
Mhm, I agree the butterbeer is delicious! If you ever get the chance, try the frozen! I actually like it better than the original kind. I got the souvenier mug too, how can you resist? lol
Oh, and Peppermint Toads = yummyness!!!

I expect it to be so--I'm filled with anticipation. I'm hoping to go next winter, though coordinating with busy friends is quite difficult ;_;.

I were in the Wizarding World of HP three weeks ago, and when I saw the castle, I cried. The Forbidden Journey is the best ride I've ever known. Amazing!!
Great picture!

Thank you very much
I'm happy to hear you got to go. I cried a little too! And yes, the Forbidden Journey is absolutely the coolest, most bestest ride in the history of the universe. And then some
How did you like the Butterbeer?
π: 0 β©: 1
Are you kidding me? It was imposible not to cry. OMG! I love all the park, especially Honeydukes (I bought two frogs!!) & Hogwarts.
And yes, to try the butterbeer was the first thing my friend and I did. I liked it, but I think it's too sweet for me. I prefer normal beer! 
π: 0 β©: 1
Oooh, what cards did you get? I got Gryffindor. I was so happy cause thats what I cosplay as
Haha, yes I loved the butterbeer. I think frozen is better than the regular. Its almost too sweet. I can barely drink a whole one... and thats saying something cause I love sweets! O_O;

I got Gryffindor (I'm a Gryffindor!!
I didn't try frozen butterbeer... I couldn't drink a whole one regular.
Did you ride the "Dragon's Challenge"? It was AMAZING, insΒ΄t is?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, Gryffindor!!! FTW!
Yes, I'd been on Dragon Challenge before it turned Harry Potter. Its always been an awesome rollercoaster. But I love the effects while you're waiting in line (like the dragon is on the roof 
Which dragon did you choose? Hungarian Horntail or Chinese Fireball?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahaha, my friend got Ravenclaw too, ans she is also a Ravenclaw!! lol Yeah, expensive but its worth it!!
Well, I were in a event called 'The Night of the Thousand Wizards' (you can be inside the park after the close hour), & my friend and I went to the Dragon's Challenge then. We had no line to wait *laugh* and we had to run cuz we didn't know if we could ride on it. At last, we could. I don't know what dragon we chose, but I think it was the blue one. Doing that at night it was AWESOME! What dragon did you choose?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oooh yeah, I dont know if I've ever ridden it at night, but I'll have to next time! I think the blue one if Hungarian Horntail. I've ridden them both
The Night of a Thousand Wizards, that sounds cool! I wish I could have gone! But I'm glad you had a nice time.

I saw this picture and I have to ask.. Did you try the butter beer? xD Some of my friends went already and said it was fantastic, but I always wondered what it tasted like... I still need to go there one day with a free pass I got.
but I did go there when it was still not open, xD and it was a tad smaller looking than what I thought, But its still so amazing looking and you took such a wonderful shot of the place! ^^ very well done!
π: 0 β©: 1
lol, of course. It was one of the very first things we bought. It's delicious! I would say that it had a butterscotchy/cream soda-ish flavor, then topped with the creamy topping that goes so well with it. Omg, I love the foamy stuff on top. Mmmm!
I hope you get to go soon. I know you'll love it ^__^ Thanks so much for the nice compliment on my photograph. I am rather pleased with it
