Seven things you have to do when visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

A Muggle's Bucket List

Being in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is just as magical as you’d expect it to be. And being surrounded by all the magical places you grew up reading about and watching, how can you make sure you’ve actually seen everything the Wizarding World has to offer? Here are seven things you need to do so you can return to your muggle life with minimal post-Potter depression.

1.Ride the Hogwarts Express

Okay, so my family made fun of me for loving this so much but how could you not? You can board at Platform 9 ¾ in King’s Cross, which leads to Diagon Alley or catch the train in Hosgmeade. You even get to see some familiar Hogwarts students on your trip!

2. Ride the Escape from Gringotts

This 3D roller coaster takes muggles into Gringotts at the same time Harry, Ron, and Hermione are raiding Belatrix’s vault. It’s a wild escape from Voldemort and his death eaters. Also you get to walk through the bank, Goblins and all!

3. Drink Tons of Butter Beer

This is literally the only place you can get this drink, so enjoy it. Plus, it’s just as good as you imagined it would be.

4. The Hogwarts Ride

This ride takes you on a tour through Hogwarts from Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, while running from a dragon that got loose.

5. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes

I’m still amazed that it was exactly like stepping into the movies. You can buy everything from love potion to Puking Pastilles.

6. Get A Wand At Olivander's

I’m beyond disappointed that I didn’t get the chance to do this one for myself. The wands you get even perform some magic at certain points at the park.

7. Stop And Take It In

I can't stress enough how, for lack of a better word, cool it is to be in this theme park. They put so much detail into it all, it's actually like being a character in the story.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
