Entering Knockturn alley!

WEASLEY'S WIZARD WHEEZES THE BEST!

Okay guys these are in real life pics from when I went to the universal studios in Florida. The Wizarding World , it was a truly magical experience!

Recall a time when you stood motionless. Describe what you see.

I still remember that day vividly. We were at the Universal studios in Florida. The main reason for going there was to visit the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter". The weather reflected my mood, bright and sunny with an occasional gentle breeze blowing.

I was rushing through the theme park, not sparing a second glance at all those other rides and attraction which I would have probably admired under different circumstances. But at the moment my sole motive was to find the section of the theme park which was hosting the " Wizarding World".

All of a sudden a three deckered purple bus caught my attention. A conductor in purple suit was standing in front of it with a shrunken head dangling beside him .This was my first clue which meant that my destination was nearby. I looked around at my surroundings but say nothing that screamed ' magic'. When I again looked more closely I noticed a simple faded red brick wall. In the middle of that was a narrow tunnel like passageway . It was barely worth paying any attention unless looked closely. Most people missed it at first and I was a bit disappointed as I fell in the same category.

I made my way through the dark tunnel, not knowing what exactly awaited me on the other side. At the end of the tunnel , a ray of sunlight penetrated the darkness and lit up the entrance. When I reached there and saw the scene in front of me , my breath was taken away. I stood motionless, still as a statue tooted to the spot and it felt like time had stopped. What I saw before me could only be described as ...magical.

It was Diagon Alley! In front of me lay a huge cobbled streets with bright street lamps standing on its either sides. The street was surrounded by an assortment of restaurants and shops. Right beside me was ' Quality Quidditch Supplies' whose window displayed Quidditch uniforms and broomsticks. Some other shops that I saw where ' Madam Malkin's' , ' Flourish and Blotts', and the famous ' Ollivander's Wand Shop' . Some other shops windows displayed a pile of moving books, moving pictures , a sweater being knit itself etc.

But the shop which looked the most exciting was the orange one with a huge puppet in front with a moving hand putting its hat on and off , 'Weasley's Wizard Wheezes' . It was like a firework display compared to the other shops. Straight in front , at the end of the street was a huge building made of white - marble. Situated on top of that was a dragon's head which blew fire every few minutes. The people walking around were doning cloaks and robes with the logo of the Hogwarts House crest emblemed upon it.

Light music played in the background which I realized with a jolt ,nwas the the theme song of Harry Potter. Seeing all these sent goosebumps through my body, igniting all my nerves till the very end. It was a surreal feeling, as if I was transported inside the book itself and I know that I will never forget the moment when my eyes first fell upon this magical scene straight from the book.

This above one is a FREEWRITING a wrote for school...

Next I just wrote my experience in short very briefly of course there was more but words can't describe the feeling!

Also I had the fortune to visit Diagon Alley at Florida's Universal studios Alhamdulillah and it was the best time of my life!
First we saw The Knight bus , Stanley And the shrunken head,next the telephone booth to the ministry of magic. Then behind some cobbled wall was the entrance to Diagon Alley .In there cobbled streets and the whole atmosphere as if I had entered the book. Before me huge white marbled Gringotts bank with a dragon spitting fire. Inside was A goblin who let us trade galleons. In the shops we went to Quality Quidditch Supplies where there was all quidditch clothes ,snitch , broomstick etc. There was Florean Fortescue Ice cream parlor, Bertie and Blotts , Ollivanders wand shop where we saw the wand chose the wizard. It had all the characters wands. Behind a building barely recognizable was Grindelwald's wand shop. Kreacher the house elf peeking from behind the curtain of Window. Saw play of the three brothers from the tales of beedle the bard, heard Celestia sing.
Then in Madam Malkin's robe shops tried on Hogwarts robes. There was a talking mirror which gave remarks. Hidden in a dark alley we went to Knockturn alley saw posters of Sirius black , undesirable no.1 , death eaters , skulls and other dark stuff. Best was of course Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! With all the legendary jokes of Fred and George. It was a surreal, magical experience. Inshallah one day I hope I can visit it again and at that time visit the other part of Hogsmeade too ,going through King's Cross Station and the Hogwarts Express.

This was my experience written in short...
