Trip to HARRY POTTER WORLD

First, I'd like to sum up the amazing day! On the 2nd of March, a Sunday, many students and staff took a trip to Harry Potter World! Who knew the sights ahead? The thoughts through ones head? No one, which is why everything was so spectacular! The sets seen on the films, the robes and props, every bit of it was truley amazing!

The day before and the night before the big event, however, were spent inside the drama studio. But, it had transformed into a Harry Potter world, with nonstop films going on! Starting right at the beginning, until the end part 1 we watched part 2 when we arrived back from the experience so we were ready for what lied ahead. But, of course, nothing could really prepare us for the sights, we saw the massive, yet small sculpture of Hogwarts, the wand shop (with each wand), the visions of what was wished for a room, or creature to look like (and it's features!), it was just WOW! Unexplainable!

Of course, a trip to 'Hogwarts' isn't a real trip without experiencing a ride on your broom! So, I just had to! And I can tell you that it is worth every minute I had to wait in line. After, I got a choice to get a few of the pictures or whatever, like you do, and who would wait in line, experience, and not take it home? I'm not sure myself, so of course I did!

And now, my picture is in my room to admire my ride around Hogwarts, and my ride to Harry Potter World! Thank you to everyone who helped organise the event! All of us are grateful!
