Happy Hogwarts Day, everyone!! In honor of this momentous day, September 1st, my longtime-online friend @thefirststarinthesky and I visited Universal Studios Hollywood, more specifically the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! This was Star’s first time and my second time, and we had a lot of fun hanging out together and enjoying the wonderful, “Potterful” ambience, dressed in “Potterbounds” for our Hogwarts houses. We also got to meet the cast of Shrek — Fiona, Puss, Shrek, and Donkey — and Donkey and I sang “I’m a Believer” together. LOL!
At Ollivanders, we both got wands: after a lot of thought, I settled on Sirius Black’s wand (I probably would’ve gone with Slughorn’s, but that one couldn’t be used to cast magic in the park), while Star chose Hermione’s. Here’s one of the spells I managed to cast, Locomotor Music Box!
My Slytherin look is comprised of black shorts, silver ballet flats, silver owl earrings, and a silver lightning bolt necklace. The flower crowns were Star’s idea, and — yeah, aren’t they just gorgeous? We got quite a few compliments...at one point I walked past the mirror in Gladrags Wizardwear and it even “complimented” (?) me on my “unusual ensemble!” I laughed so hard!
Have a magic-cool day, everyone, and if you enjoyed this, don’t forget to like and reblog! xoxo
