California Trip - Universal Studios: Harry Potter Land

We haven't been to Universal Studios in many years.  They really don't change things too much and they don't have many things for little kids to do, but then they opened Harry Potter Land.
The three older kids have gotten really into Harry Potter lately and have loved playing with their cousins and their wands.  So with this sudden interest in all things Harry Potter we figured that we would go check out the new land and everything else that Universal had to offer.
There are two rides in Harry Potter Land.  One is an outdoor smaller roller coaster that kids Megan's size and taller could ride.  It was pretty fun and all the kids liked it.  They also have a ride in the Hogwarts castle.  We didn't go on that ride because the lines were always too long for us and they didn't accept the "Front of Line" passes.  Megan wasn't tall enough for that ride, so we figured we'd save riding it for another time.
There are a few shops and places to buy drinks.  They have a fancy wand shop but also wand carts outside so you could just buy them outside and make it easier.
It was a really neat place to walk around and we hope to spend a little more time exploring things next time we go.
