This Hogwarts Prefect introduces guests to the ladies from Beauxbatons Academy, and the gents from Durmstrang Institute.

One of the many "treats" you can look forward to seeing at the Wizarding World.

This is a pretty cool gate column; because the lit words appear as if they're being written.  They don't stay up there too long though. I started my exposure as soon as the "magic" began; so that I could get more out of this scene.  Even then, most of this pic was underexposed.

The Village of Hogsmeade

An outsider's view of the Wizarding World.

Believe it or not, this picture actually shows most of the length of the Wizarding World.

I have yet to try these.  But with flavours like Booger, Earwax, Earthworm, and Vomit; who could resist!?!?!?

... Where else would you expect to find it?!?!?!

I don't know what it is about the Wizarding World; but almost everytime I go to work on my pictures from there, I have the strong urge to play around with their treatment.  I think a part of me is inspired by the look of the films.  There also isn't a lot of emphasis on bright/bold colors.  Everything kind of has a natural/homely look.  I do like the color version of this scene though.  ;)
