As I walked down the street I noticed multiple interesting qualities of the buildings that surrounded me; each individual building came to a point with little windows at the top, equipped with slanted roofs that were covered in the perfect amount of snow. As I passed a large red wagon that read, "BUTTERBEER" I knew exactly where I was; "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter." This was a place I had always longed to visit and had much anticipated the magic within it 's perimeter. After I tried butterbeer, a favorite drink of the characters in the Harry Potter series, I spun around in surprise to see the Hogwarts Express steaming in all of it 's glory. Words cannot describe how thrilling it is to actually be in the shoes of a character, seeing …show more content…

Me! When I was reconnected with my family, my brother gave me eyes, saying "You always win", but I was too overjoyed to let him bring my mood down so I gave him a smile that giggled "I know!" As I left as the chosen one I was greeted by two wizards who took my wand and placed it in an official Ollivanders box which had the Ollivander Crest on it. The 2 wizards told me about how lucky I was to be the chosen one and how this wand would give me my best results as a young witch in Hogwarts. Well, that is, as long as I agreed to pay the $39.95 for the wand. I had assumed that I would receive the wand for free since I had been the chosen one but alas I was incorrect. I was faced with the decision on whether or not to go ahead and buy the wand that had supposedly chosen me before I had seen any other souvenirs available in Hogwarts. As someone who is very indecisive, this decision took 45 minutes worth of pacing around all of the other wands. I continually picked the wand out of the box, admired it, and immediately put it back in so that I wouldn 't fall in love. My brother had chosen to purchase Harry Potter 's look-alike wand from the movie, for that is what he had originally set his mind to. We honestly didn 't need two wands around our house, but the wand had chosen me! It was comparable to a situation where one finds a tiny puppy without an owner and so they bring it home so that …show more content…

I can 't imagine how foolish I looked yelling the words "Wingardium Leviosa" but in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, nothing like that can be ridiculed. In Hogwarts, it is normal. Not one person in that room was thinking about how foolish I looked as the books came falling down or how I was probably saying the spells all wrong. Even though that show goes on multiple times a day and I just got lucky that the wand keeper chose me, during those 30 minutes of waving my wand around the whole world revolved solely on myself. I was the center of attention to everyone in that room, and I believe that they all cared that I found the right wand as much as I did. This experience put meaning to the classic saying "You can never judge a book by it 's cover." While my brother, mom, and I waited in line we had no idea what we were getting into, but I am thrilled to say that we didn 't miss out on that opportunity. Next time that I visit somewhere new, I will be sure to participate in as many attractions as I can and explore the unknown because you never know where that can lead you. As I followed Harry Potters footsteps that day, through all of the whirlwind of events and decisions, I am happy that I purchased the wand in the end. Have I used it since? Only once or twice but it provides a great story for when people come over and ask "Oh….is that a wand from Harry Potter World?" To that question, I can happily say,
