We tried the butterbeer and it was pretty delicious. A lot like cream soda, very sweet so you could only drink one. Don't worry they were all nonalcoholic. the pumpkin juice was a little weird. It tasted a lot like cold mulled cider. So if it was hot it would probably be much better.
I think the group favorite was the Olivander wand experience. those of you who aren't familiar with Harry Potter. Olivander is the wand merchant. He has you try wands until you find the one that fits you. So the store at Universal was the same type of thing, complete with effects. William was awed. Of course they all had to get their own wands after that. Scott and I were hesitant to purchase them. (they were a little pricey) but considering it was their one souvenir for the whole trip we caved with strict conditions. In the end we were glad we did. It totally made their day.
My personal favorite was the dueling dragon ride. The rest of the crew loved the actual Harry Potter simulator ride. i have to admit it was pretty awesome but a little intense for me. William got to ride it twice even though technically he wasn't tall enough to go on it. (It all depended on who and if they measured him.)I have to admit we spent the most time in Harry Potter world while were at Universal studios, even though we spent 2 days there. We didn't even make it over to the super hero area.
The day was great and the weather was nice and the longest we had to wait for a ride was 20 minutes. Mostly 5-10 min.
Now the only problem is Scott promised them I would make them Hogwarts robes when we got home. So it looks like I finally have a sewing project for sewing class.
