My Trip to Universal

The hotel in Orlando

The hotel in Orlando

This summer was the first time I went to Orlando, Florida. I went with my sister, my grandmother, and my cousin. One of the places we went to was Universal Studios. It took about 30 minutes to get there and once we got there we were shuffling through crowds and then we made it to Diagon alley which was part of Harry Potter world at Universal. The alley looked exactly like it did in the movies. One of the things that caught my eye was the dragon on top of Gringotts which appears in the Deathly Hollows pt. 2. The dragon also spit fire!

The next thing we got to do was go to platform 9 3/4 to get on the Hogwarts express. That would take us to Hogsmeade which was a town near Hogwarts. In the 3rd Harry Potter movie on the train a dementor boards, the train to the ride to Hogsmeade was based around that part of the movie.
