The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

[Latveria]

If I had to guess what butterbeer tastes like, I'd say A&W cream soda is the closest match.

Good guess, but no =)

 

[PotterFanatic]

I keep thinking that Butterbeer would have a butterscotchy flavour

 

[violarum]

I tried some butterscotch pudding earlier today that my friend made for me, and it's supposedly a thicker version of butterbeer. My Lord, it was GOOD. I cannot wait to try butterbeer!!!

 

[TheDecemberists]

Good guess, but no =)

Okay then, what soft drink do you think is the closest match? -Because apparently you've tasted it...

 

[Raylene]

What was the school color for Durmstang?

 

[violarum]

Green, Red, and Yellow. (Black, too, I think...)
:]

 

[Raylene]

I am just thinking about when the schools both entered the Great Hall for the first time at Hogwarts. Beauxbatons would obviously be represented by the color blue and Durmstrang could easily be associated with red because of the fire when they were first introduced. Just a thought... could be a story line where we, as Hogwarts students, are asked to choose a side to help. Obvioiusly if they put Hogwarts in as a school everyone would pick that one...

Just trying to figure out how the red and blue might be able to work on the track!

 

[violarum]

Yeah, I see how you're putting two and two together there, but Harry got the Horntail, and there were four schools... I'm very confused about this whole painted tracks ordeal. Well, we'll see. :]

 

[DisFreakBrent]

Well let's say Universal never plans on changing the track colors. I guarantee they have some story reasoning for the track colors & why you have to chose which one to go on. I am not one to usually trust Universal but I know that they have a answer for almost everything when it comes to WWoHP they are prepared.

 

[Raylene]

I thought there were reports that the horntail was going to be in FJ? They would not have the horntail on both DC and in FJ. That is why I am thinking we are choosing between schools with red being Durmstang and Blue being Beauxbatons.

There were 3 schools. Harry and Edwar- I mean Cedric are both from Hogwarts; they just use their houses to differentiate the two.

The Horntail is in both FJ and DC. That's been confirmed.

If we chose schools, what would the trains look like? The Universal site tells us to "choose our dragon" and "climb aboard" so I'm thinkin' the trains will still be dragons. The site also confirms the Fireball and Horntail on the DC description.

Also, something bad on Uni's part is TWWoHP is listed under the "Theme Parks" tab on the home page. :bang:

that sounds like a cool idea, except that you are NOT a Hogwarts student but a muggle. I also do not think everyone would pick Hogwarts. I dont understand how blue really matches any dragon color but I guess if WB is ok with it than I am also. *sigh*

 

[violarum]

Oh, d'oh, I meant four competing students. Thanks for that, Decemberists.

 

[mantaguy]

I also noticed on the official description of the Three Broomsticks, it says "a pint of butterbeer and pumpkin juice". Hmm, do you think they will actually sell pints of the stuff?

 

[violarum]

Wow. That's a small amount. I hope it's larger, lol.

HAHA!!! *Sparkle Sparkle* Dead. lol

 

[DisFreakBrent]

They are going to need to sell that stuff in gallons I prob. won't be able to get enough of it lol

Wow! No wonder every media place is advertising this as a park and confusing everyone. This is going to be pretty funny when hundreds come to uni and ask where is the third theme park haha!

I love confused tourists!

Tourist: "Where's the Harry Potter theme park?"

Me: "Down that path to the right of Universal Studios."
