Scenes of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

I have a confession to make – I nerd out over Harry Potter. You can keep your Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars, and I’ll be over here trying to make my own Butterbeer and still crying over Sirius Black. I have a deep wish that that Disney company had bought the theme park rights instead of Universal. It took me several years to get off my WDW high horse and see what Universal has done with the Wizarding Parks, and when I did, I was blown away. They are detailed, intricate, immersive, and everything I love about theme parks. With the exception of the fact that all the rides are in 3D (oh, the headaches!), I rank these parks among Disney’s best efforts. I ran around all day, trying to capture the details with my camera and take it all in at the same time. Today, I thought I would share some of that with you.
