I asked a girl, who had one, how she liked it, and to my surprise she asked me whether I\u2019d like to taste it, so I did. The frozen option tasted better than the sparkling one, as the gas really didn\u2019t go well with the very sweet taste. I decided to risk getting a whole one for myself, just to fulfill that childhood dream of mine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from butterbeer, one could buy a variety of other drinks and sweets from the Harry Potter World. There was even a Honeydukes and Zonko\u2019s store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-1-1024x575.jpg\"target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-1-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1614\" data-link=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/index.php\/2019\/02\/01\/travels-usa-roadtrip-2019-episode-7\/icanbeme_harrypottersweets-1\/\" class=\"wp-image-1614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-1-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-2-1024x575.jpg\"target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-2-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1615\" data-link=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/index.php\/2019\/02\/01\/travels-usa-roadtrip-2019-episode-7\/icanbeme_harrypottersweets-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-1615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-2-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-2-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-3-1024x575.jpg\"target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-3-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1616\" data-link=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/index.php\/2019\/02\/01\/travels-usa-roadtrip-2019-episode-7\/icanbeme_harrypottersweets-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-1616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-3-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_HarryPotterSweets-3-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sweets from the Harry Potter World<br>&lt;Click image to enlarge&gt; <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went into Hogwarts, where our first ride was awaiting us. First, we had to walk through the whole castle, passing by the entrance to Dumbledore\u2019s office, corridors with talking paintings, the sorting hat preparing us for the ride and many more. The walk took a little more than 5 minutes, along the space usually reserved for queuing. Imagine how long that wait would be! We were actually really lucky to go on a day where the park wasn\u2019t very busy, as we only had to wait for maximum 5-10 minutes at each attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-2-575x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1620\" width=\"302\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-2-575x1024.jpg 575w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-2-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-2-768x1368.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-1-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-1-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Hogwarts-1-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Hogwarts (Harry Potter World)<br>&lt;Click images to enlarge&gt;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The attractions were mostly simulations, where one had to sit down in a kind of rollercoaster seat that guided you through the story. Huge screens and the movement of the seat gave the impression you were experiencing the story, like flying on a broomstick in Hogwarts. It was fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Walking Dead attraction was different \u2013 we had to walk through that world and real humans acted as the Walking Dead. While usually I find tunnels of horror quite boring, this experience was a whole different thing. Walking for yourself is different than a seated ride in which you can\u2019t move, and human performers are definitely scarier than plastic ghosts. I walked through it hugging Audrey and we screamed the whole way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from attractions, we could go to 3 different shows. There was one about special effects, in which they were explained, but also demonstrated. Another one was about animal actors. It was fascinating how well trained those animals were. It wasn\u2019t just cats and dogs, but also animals like pigeons, rats and others that I didn\u2019t even know could be trained that well. The third show was Waterworld, in which actors played a scene from the eponymous movie with Kevin Costner.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Waterworld.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Waterworld-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1623\" width=\"673\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Waterworld-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Waterworld-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/icanbeme.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IcanbeMe_Waterworld-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The show &#8220;Waterworld&#8221;<br>&lt;Click image to enlarge&gt;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>It was stunning how the actors dove underwater with their jet skis, how parts of the stage caught fire and how real everything looked. After a few hours in this theme park, I really didn\u2019t know what was real and what wasn\u2019t anymore. For example, when I was inside a building and looked at its walls, I didn\u2019t whether it was truly a wall, or if it was a screen that could change what I could see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a third option other than the attractions and shows, we could go on a 1-hour tour through the Universal Studios. We saw the buildings that were built for movies (sometimes only facades). We drove through some stages, essentially massive containers, each containing a set that plays inside. One of them was a metro station, in which a truck broke through the ceiling, coming towards us. We saw the cables it was hanging on, which a camera wouldn\u2019t normally see. On our right water started flooding in through a stair case. It all looked so real, because it was real. It was all controlled, but real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park entry was around 100\u20ac, but it was definitely worth it (plus it was Enrique\u2019s Christmas present, so thank you for that \ud83d\ude42 ). I not only had a lot of fun and learned about movie making, but it was also the professionalism of how things were done, presented and performed that I found fascinating. One just gets the feeling that they really know what they are doing. I also loved the efficiency with which the staff guided us through the (in our case) short queues all the way to the seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was easy to get distracted in the park and to keep postponing getting food. Therefore, once we had to leave the park in the evening, we hadn\u2019t eaten since breakfast. We decided to go for a burger near our AirBnB. We looked around for a bit, in disbelief at how difficult it could be to find a burger on Hollywood Boulevard until Audrey thankfully spotted a place. The delicious burger and our super unhealthy fries just made the day complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-container-4 wp-block-gallery-3 wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><li
