Nice, Salem! 

You’re making me realize that I forgot to put a copyright on all the pix I took in Orlando 

Are these pix from Orlando?

Yes, all from Orlando.

Recently went down to the Flatiron District in NYC to go to a pub called The Cauldron where you could make a couple of very cool potions (alcoholic or not) just as if you were in a potions class in Harry Potter.  Their presentation left a bit to be desired but we had fun, anyway. 

Turns out that just a few blocks away next to the Flatiron building is an official Harry Potter store, so Charade an I stopped by before meeting our kids at The Cauldron, later.  I’ll share a few pix, here.  The central staircase was made to look like the staircase to Dumbledore’s office. The griffon also revolved.

Charade in Diagon Alley.  Be careful, it’s dangerous there, girl.

You should be in front of her and protect her.

Now, this is from the original Universal Studio and relatively nearby from here in Vegas, only 300 miles away, in Hollywood, California. 

Bloody hell, Sol, can you not see the ch1ldren in that photo? - Salem

Pretty much a replica of what’s in Universal in Orlando.  Not surprised.  I’m gonna guess that most, if not all the pix I show from when we were in Orlando will be the same in California. 

I wonder if they still have that back-set tour by tram of the Universal lots.

Yes, they still do.

I wanted to go on that, but Charade does not do well on roller coasters unless they’re fairly tame.  I had to check out Hagrid’s coaster online to see if it was okay and it looked good until I realized that the entire ride hadn’t been posted and we found out there’s a bit where the tracks suddenly drop out from under you or some such.  Fortunately, we found out before we went on the ride.

The EXIT signs kinda ruin the effect.  LOL

Love how the front of the shop bows out. Typical of very old British buildings.
