For those Parkies contemplating a visit to Orlando over Spring Break, here’s what I can tell you from my recent reconnsaince mission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: butterbeer, contrary to some reports, is not bad at all. It’s kind of like a cream soda with a beer-like head on it. The regular beer, a microbrew special to the park, is better. Pay for the Express Lane passes; it’s worth it. Consider buying a Gryffindor scarf because its colors are close enough to HPHS to pass. And before you buy a Hogwarts robe, ask yourself where you would ever wear it. Then don’t buy it.
