Wizarding World of Harry Potter & Butterbeer

So here's a picture of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter from when we were there.  I took this later in the day, so the crowd is quite large.  One of the fun things about entering the WWOHP is hearing everyone gasp with delight.  It is magical.  The bottom photo is Hogwarts - home to the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride.  That was quite beyond description.  Here is a link to a butterbeer recipe that's close to the real thing.  (I would omit the rum extract from the topping and use less whipping cream if I made it again...)

Wizarding World of Harry Potter

We were in Orlando last week!  Of course one of our main activities was visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  It was fabulous.  I'll have to post some pictures later, but for now I'm borrowing some from Universal's site...  At Ollivander's I bought Luna Lovegood's wand!  And below is the Pumpkin Juice that they sell there.  It was delicious.  It's a cold juice drink with apple juice, pumpkin and apricot puree.  So fun.
