Which Wand Will Choose You???

Which Wand Will Choose You???

Some of the window details at Ollivanders Wand Shop.

During operating hours, guests can purchase various wands that are similar to the ones depicted in the movie. So you can get the same wand that Harry or Hermione uses; unless the Death Eater side of you wants a Draco or Voldemort wand. (there is more of a selection than just those though)

I just recently found out that people who are picked to be in the Ollivanders show (that constantly runs throughout the day) get a wand that is 'unique' to the them. The outside of the wand doesn't look like any of the ones that the characters use. And the "inside" has a core that is partial to the individual the wand chooses. ;)

Late Night Sweet Tooth

Late Night Sweet Tooth

Butterbeer and Homemade Sweets.... What Could Be Better?!?!?!

One of the great things about the Wizarding World is that it has a nice natural feel to the area at night. You don't feel like you're in some spectacular tourist attraction. It really feels like a small magical village.

This was my first night outing with my Sigma 30mm. And I was really impressed with how it handled. It was perfect for just running around the area to get shots of the different window scenes.
