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.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
