| My favorite Wizarding World experiences as the 4 Hogwarts Houses
Gryffindor - WWoHP at Universal. Woooo! Fun exciting rides like Gringotts and Forbidden Journey FTW!
Hufflepuff - Movie marathons, even though I could recite them all by now lol.
Ravenclaw - Revisiting the books because, of course, they're some of the best stories ever written. And we all have favorite parts that are unique to us (or so we think😉 .
Slytherin - Harry Potter trivia contests. I've won three so far and that's not the only time I'll brag about it on here! Let me know about any upcoming. Or you can try to challenge me😎

This was hard for me to decide, since I haven't done most of those. However, I will mention that I have done Muggle Quidditch and it was so much fun.

I've been to a Harry Potter-themed party, where were all sorted into houses and played things like beer pong and other party games, and scored house points. The host even had a House Cup for the winning house.
As fun as that was, I've never experienced anything that comes close to the theme park. It just feels like you are IN the world. So many little details, so many events, it's just perfect. I even turned in all of my cash for Gringotts bank notes and refused to pay with anything else.

i went to the harry potter wizarding world in universal, hands down the best experience, it looked incredable! i sadly couldnt get butterbeer as i was on a vip tour but it looked amazing. a funny thing about it was that the big ride had stopped working while i was on it and it stopped in front of the basilisk, if it was the real thing i would have been dead lol

Re watching the movies and re reading books during the nights are always special and refreshes your mind as these books just transport you into another world , i have never been to the Wizarding World as yet but definitely will visit one day!!

I can't wait to get to visit the Wizarding World at Universal Studios! I haven't done most of these, except for the midnight book releases, which are cherished memories of my middle school to high school years when my family started taking me to them. I would dress up in my hogwarts robes and was in awe to see so many people gathered together in love of a book! Such a rare and wonderful thing to see as a young writer who dreams of writing books for a living one day. All too often we hear of the growing indifference to reading, and yet Harry Potter was a direct counterspell to that indifference, with people gathering to the story from around the world and from all different walks of life.

The wand shop at the parks was incredible!! Wandlore is a big part of my interest in HP so it was fantastic being able to pick out my own wand. I got McGonagalls |

Man, the Wizarding World is just amazing. It's so cool to just go there and walk around, even if you don't go to the rides.

| A multi level experience
So this may come across as a now unachievable brag, but man the experience of visiting the cinemas every time a new movie was released was amazing. Now I admit probably not the harry potter experience you were looking for here. Especially the first three films hit me different. Being the age of the actors at time of release was representation I wasn't looking for but gave me (and I assume others that went through that process) a unique perspective that only really hits home now I can watch back with the cognizance of perspective experience.

Going to Universal in Florida in 2017 was a dream! My husband bought me some Harry Potter merchandise, and I felt like I belonged, because there were so Many other Harry Potter fans there. It was amazing.

| Yearly Moviegoing with Sister
My sister was 1 year, 1 month and 1 week older than I.
We both read the Potter books as they came out, and enjoyed them.
One of our annual 'treats' as an expanded family was the trek to see the next Harry Potter film as it came out in theaters. (There were a couple other series we did this with as well, naturally Peter Jackson's renderings of Tolkien's works among them. It became a family 'annual event.')
My sister has now passed, but the memories will always remain.

I think I love movie marathons the best because I get to immerse myself in the Harry Potter world for hours watching the movies and everyone around is having fun.

I've been to both The Studio Tour and Universal's Wizarding world a few times and They are both amazing but for different reasons. The Studio Tour is an amazing insight into the creation of the film world and Universal is a magical immersive experience.
