Hellobee Boards

Hi! We just took our daughter to HP Hollywood so apologies if this info doesn’t transfer. The coolest thing we did was go to Ollivanders where she had the luck to be selected to wand selection. She got to “try” a couple wands and do magic with them until she “found” her wand. It was awesome. Allegedly they pick the person at random from each group, but we were lucky that my daughter was (a) the only HP-aged kid in the group (little brother is 5), (b) wearing her HP robes and (c) bouncing with excitement. of course, then you have to buy the $50-some wand, but you can use it to do magic throughout Hogsmeade. You can also just buy the interactive wands sans Ollivander wand selection. Have the best time!!

@bhbee: hi! My 5 year old was just along for the ride and honestly got a little bored. We just got season tickets so we didn’t try out the wand much last time. I think he’ll have some fun trying out his sister’s next time but it was all a bit beyond him. The flight of the hippogriff roller coaster is mild & fine for him, but he wasn’t tall enough for the other HP ride. You might want to plan on doing some time as a family and splitting up so younger ones can do other rides while the older kids have fun in Hogsmeade. We’re actually taking my daughter back with a friend for her bday just so she can take her time without little bro wanting to move on.

@bhbee: oh yeah! My 5 year old loved that! Have fun!!
