http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/?intsrch=harry (NOTE: "potter" is added when the link opens.) I will be going in December. I'll post info/pix. I would be willing to make purchases for those unable to visit the place. How and what to be discussed on a person to person basis. I am not wanting to make a profit or lose from this favor.

I dismissed this a little when I read about it in the papers, but taking the flying tour has just blown me away! Wow! Last September I gave a paper (talk) at a conference in Edinburgh, I took a flight after work (near London) and then a bus from Edinburgh airport. Once off the bus, I closely studied my map and started walking towards my hotel, as you do, mostly studying the ground ... (maybe peering in a few shop windows!) then I looked up.... and stopped breathing... high above me was Edinburgh Castle (JK Rowling lives just outside Edinburgh and this castle was her influence when imagining Hogwarts). It's a stunning castle, beautifully lit at night (as it was when I first saw it) which, built as it is on a volcanic plug, stands high above the rest of the city! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EdinburghCastle.jpg http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/Photography/Images/POD/e/edinburgh-castle-92765-sw.jpg I was so delighted, excited and inspired to see it - I hope you get that feeling and much much more at Universal Orlando! Please send us lots of pics :D |
