Here's a few tips and tricks.

You should also ride the Hogwarts Express both ways.

And you can see Kreacher in an upstairs window at Grimmauld Place, to the right of Diagon Alley, if you shake the handle on the middle door.

I absolutely love how careful they were... you can get this picture and feel like you're looking at Hogwarts, and you're totally immersed in harry potter.

But then not far away you're totally immersed in Jurassic park shit and you can't even see Hogwarts or hogsmede.

I love amusement parks. But I'm also a nerd who loves management type videogames. When I'm at a big park like universal studios or Disney world/land I can't help but notice the little ways they fuck with your sense of reality. They all play with perspective, and controlling sightlines so much that you can't help but feel like it's real.

Illusions are rad.

I went a few years ago (Orlando lol) and got a wand from Ollivanders. Unfortunately for me I didn’t find out until AFTER I went home that it came with a map of the place and wand movement instructions! Basically, at certain places in the park you could wave your wand and there would be a reaction. Super cool.
