Did You Hear What I Heard?

Listen up!

This one's for all you (undiscovered) wizards, witches, squibs, and mudbloods: we finally have somewhere we'll belong!

*Side note* I left out muggles for a very good reason...they don't belong.

Anyway, a little owl told me (no it's not Hedwig...she's dead) that London AND Diagon Alley are coming to the United States! Yes you read that correctly; we won't need to waste our Floo powder or fly across the Atlantic Ocean on our broomsticks to purchase our school supplies. Let's face it...we all know it's hard trying to balance those cauldron's, but doing it while sitting on a piece of wood is a real pain in the ass.

"OMG this is such a pain in my ass!"

I don't know if you have had the delightful opportunity to visit Hogsmeade and Hogwarts yet (the fake ones for Muggles in Universal Studio's Wizarding World of Harry Potter), but if you have then you'll want to start saving your money for a trip back.

Before you continue though, I have to ask those of you who haven't gone yet to do me a favor: Be so kind as to remove your hand from the mouse, look at it as if something is on your palm, and SMACK YOURSELF IN THE FACE!!!

Don't beat yourself up too much though, because redemption lays at the end.

To veer back on topic: you need to start saving your money now because the new expansion of Harry Potter World arrives next summer! As we speak, London AND Diagon Alley are being built in Universal Studios Orlando (where Jaws used to be). But it doesn't end there; oh no they are giving us EXACTLY what we asked for. They are building a fully functional (that means you can ride in it) Hogwarts Express!!

I have read that they will be putting a larger Ollivander's Wand Shop, The Leaky Cauldron (a feature restaurant), Gringotts Bank with a fire breathing dragon and a roller-coaster through the underground vaults, and much much more. An artist rendering of what the park will look like has been released and confirmed (by a Warner Brothers and Universal Studios designer) that it is quite accurate. Take a look.

If you want to do a little of your own research (heaven forbid you actually find information on your own), Ricky Brigante has done a marvelous job at uncovering some details regarding the new expansion. I lack the proper resources (i.e. I have a full-time job) to go and find this info on my own.

There you have it! Harry Potter has made itself into your lives through my fingers, so you better appreciate it!

For those of you who need redemption (probably most of you) here is your chance.

True or False: Harry Potter is Severus Snape's favorite student.

Until Next Time,

PS-If you find any updated info about the new expansion to Harry Potter World, you should totes let me know (I'll return the favor).

Part of the Instagram-ily

Welcome back!

The fact that you are reading this makes me feel like I actually have something to live for (aside from the three best friends that anyone could have).

Just me and my pals laughing at the Hufflepuffs. No biggie!

Now I know that I promised you (in my last post) that my obsession of Harry Potter would explode in your face when you read my blog, but it looks like you're going to have to wait a little longer. 

Lets be real...if you have time to waste reading my posts now, then either 1.) you don't have a life or 2.) your obsession of Harry Potter has you hanging on for dear life waiting to measure your wand with mine. How can I put this so you understand...there is only one Elder wand and you better believe I have it.

Too far?  

All seriousness aside, I just joined the world of Instagram (I much rather prefer Owl-grams, but Instagram has a wider fan base) so you should totes follow me!  They call me @Sirius_Potter and apparently I'm a pretty big deal; people know me. I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Ok, so that last part is a lie. All of my books are digital downloads from the Kindle bookstore and my apartment smells of musty cat pee, but a guy can dream right?

That's all for today my fellow bloggers. "I had a wonderful Monday. How was yours?"

Until next time,

Sleepless near Seattle*

Hello my fellow bloglets!

For the past week (yes I have had an empty blog for a week…everybody laugh ha ha ha), I have been struggling to write the perfect first blog post.

SPOILER ALERT-You aren’t reading the perfect first blog post.

Nonetheless, you’re stuck reading it now because I’ve peaked your curiosity enough to see what I will actually be writing about. So, without further ado, continue on to experience (close to) 3 minutes that you will never get back.

For those of you who actually read my About Me, you know that I am a lowly college student stumbling his way through life. You also know that my biggest hobby is traveling. What you didn’t know is that I have been in Seattle since Tuesday. And let me tell you what; this place is beautiful. They have mountains and rivers, the ocean and the desert, and an abundance of hipster cities/towns.

Mountain View

Downtown Seattle

Pier

Fremont Troll

Beach

View from Salty's porch

Space Needle

If you enjoy any of those things I just listed (refer to last sentence if you have forgotten), then I strongly advice you to book a flight and hotel and come for a few days to experience it for yourself. If you don’t enjoy seeing the most beautiful sights Mother Nature has to offer, then climb back up to your cavernous home on the top of Mt. Crumpit.

Back to those of you who care for this planet we live on (I’m talking about Earth), if you are looking for a place to enjoy the ocean air and the greenest of sceneries you should consider visiting Seattle.

Like I told you earlier: this was (close to) 3 minutes of your life you will never get back. Lucky for you, the post is complete!

Now you can continue on to read reviews of family recipes, look at blog mothers’ pictures of children, and catch up on your Big Brother live feed reviews (from what I understand, this is some sort of unwritten initiation for bloggers nationwide).

PS-For those of you who noticed that almost everything on my blog relates to my Harry Potter obsession, I apologize if this post has left you feeling disappointed (I will never do it again). Actually that is false; I can guarantee you that it will happen again. However, there will be plenty posts regarding Harry Potter (so stay tuned for my next post J).

Until next time,

The Intern
