Stitting there so strangely, this ancient castle just BAM! in the middle of everything 'normal'... It is a bit magical.
And when you're on Turkey Lake Rd. (the road that runs right behind Islands of adventure) and you're driving by, everything is concealed by trees and wall, but then there is this one moment where there is a break in the trees and you realize oh HELLO AGAIN HOGWARTS! as it's RIGHT. THERE. next to you all of a sudden... It's pretty awesome.
*cannot wait for the attraction to open*  I haven't been over in the area in a while, but I'll be over there on Friday before the Yule Ball. I can't want to see it. I'm going to have to get my friends to drive by it. Do you think they will still be doing the soft open? My sources haven't told me much, but I'll have to get something out of them on Friday.

That's incredible! It looks exactly like the castle in the films. I wonder if it'll have all the rooms and areas the characters can go in the books and films, you know, so visitors can go there as well.
