When I was a little girl my mother read the Harry Potter books to us. I always left the room because I got scared. When the first movie came out my whole family went to see it; it was so crowded we had to sit in the front row of the movie theater. When I finished seeing the movie I was amazed- that was when I got hooked. I love the entire series, from beginning to end, but I must say that Deathly Hallows was my favorite one. It’s when Harry ended his journey and that ‘Happily Ever After’ became a reality. The Harry Potter series got me to LOVE reading and I think it changed my life in many ways.
When I go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter I will be excited to see everything, of course, but I will most love to see the Leaky Cauldron and drink some butterbeer, the the Hogwarts castle and explore and to Honeydukes because who doesn’t love candy? It will be amazing to experience Hogwarts for real and not just in our imaginations
I would love to see the Gryffindor common room. Do they have that at the theme park? I haven’t been following the updates so I’m not actually sure lol (oops). As for my favorite book, that would be Deathly Hallows.
reading everyone’s comments i want to go to the wizarding world sooooo bad right now!! Does everyone else inhale quickly whenever they go through the map on the Wizarding World website and see Hogsmede?
I really want a wand so i’ve got to say—Olivander’s! I’m really hoping that getting a wand is an ‘experience’ though the line up will surely be so long! And my fave book is the Half-blood Prince.
Looking forward to honey dukes sweet shop and just about any shop in hogsmead and my favorite book is defeantly the Deathly Hallows. its so enthrawling suspensful and a great way to end the story. i read it 4 times i love it so much.
The Post office appeals to me the most. You think about all those Hogwarts letters that you swear got misplaced from your address, and now people can send messagesby ‘owl’ that look wizard-like.
My favorite book is Half-Blood prince. Its the last year of full school, but Harry’s world has to start expanding beyond Hogwarts.
I can’t wait to try butterbeer, and see the Hogwarts castle -it’s going to be breath taking!! And my favorite book in the series is Deathly Hallows!! … that kiss OBVIOUSLY having nothing to do with that. ; ) laughs
Im really most excited to see the fat lady in her portrait i think she is hilarious and i love dawn french the actress who plays her i might just chat it up with her for a bit and my favorite book was 5 i like dialouge and i think that 5 was full of it and it was the most reaveling

Harry watched Hagrid getting redder and redder in the face as he called for more wine, finally kissing Professor McGonagall on the cheek, who, to Harry's amazement, giggled and blushed, her top hat lopsided.
I want to visit the Hogwarts Castle! My favorite book is definitely POA.
