Yesterday we went to Universal Studios to visit the Harry Potter exhibit. We had to get there at 8:30am to avoid the huge line ups. The line was still 30 minutes long, but it was much worse later on in the day. We had a good time. The whole exhibit was a really good recreation of Hogwarts and Homgsmeade. We rode on the main ride in Hogwarts castle. We got to tour through all of the classrooms and reached the ride at the end of the tour. I found it kind of scary. The car gets tossed around in front of an Imax screen to simulate broom flight. I got motion sick so I kept my eyes closed during the broom part. Then you get yanked around through parts of the castle in between.
We enjoyed the flight of the Hippogriff. It was a basic rollercoaster. It didn't go upside down so I liked that part. There was also a big roller coaster called the Dragon Challenge, but we didn't go on that (I don't like upside down roller coasters.) We shopped in Honeydukes Sweet Shop and looked at the wands for sale.
Finally we had lunch in The Three Broomsticks, where we got to sample butterbeer.
Because Harry Potter is so popular, Universal Studios was very busy. Curtis and I went to bed early last night because we had a long day.
