I’m trying to be open minded now that I know the mash-up was always intentional. It’s just odd that we are in Paris, but also at the British Ministry of Magic…
But it’s all done with Magic…so there’s the explanation!!

That’s a good way for my brain to make sense of it… We are in Paris, but took a Floo to England! Thanks!

Hey! That is totally my favorite part. Or maybe the car. No, the Unicorns
Maybe it is because I am a mom who was once a 12-year-old girl, but I adore the Unicorn Mom.
Speaking of which, I once worked for a German company and some German co-workers asked what I thought of “Unicorn” for the new $$$,$$$ machine they were inventing. I said, “It would be fine if your market was 12-year-old girls.” They weren’t happy and they said my boss, an American, had said precisely the same thing. Apparently they thought of unicorns as very masculine.
I wouldn’t mind being mooned by a skrewt once.

This is so odd. And I spend a lot of time with Germans. Maybe they were thinking of centaurs?

The unicorn is Scotland’s official national animal

Not when you look into German/European folklore.
Unicorns haven’t always been associated with rainbows

I rode hagrids once at close but they experienced a loooong downtime while people were in line. I kept waiting for them to kick us all out and give us red tickets but they had a company who rented out the park after close. Therefore, you better believe they got it working again.
Well, they had to get us plebs out of there before the party started so they cranked up the speed. We didn’t even slow down through hagrids hut/past fluffy/at the unicorn!
It was basically “webetterroundupthescrewtsdon’t mindFluffyHisbarksareworsethanhisbitesaunicornandshesamum!”
It was hilarious and super fun to be coming in hot at every scene! I did get concerned about how that would play out with devils snare but thankfully lumos still worked just fine

I think I will be touring the park clockwise starting from WWoHP (based purely on order of interest – I guess we’ll see what the best touring strategy is).

That will end you at Dark Universe. If it’s dark outside, that’s too scary for you Jeff.

I’ll just go home instead.

Looking at this … very heavy in “E-Ticket” type rides, but there does not appear to be a lot of lesser rides/shows to suck up the crowds. I suspect the lines for attractions at Epic are going to be epic.

Theres no denying that, but i can’t imagine them risking it to save her. Umbridge was a blood supremacist, with a desire for authoritarianism, but she wasn’t a Death Eater. I’d compare her to Vidkun Quisling: a useful traitor, but not one held in high regard.
Voldemort taking over the Ministry gave her a path to her own goals, so she was on board with the new regime. But the narrative of the new ride is not only do the fugitive Death Eaters stupidly return to rescue her from her trial, but she somehow has a plan to bring Voldemort back to life. Why?

There was a breach in security. “Asset out of containment”.

Because Professor Binns is the most boring teacher at Hogwarts. This is supposed to be our first time in the wizarding world, and if its nothing but a lecture that drones on and on we may not get to appreciate magic. This is our hands on lesson.

Perhaps he told them “hey, these humans know me by this name, so just roll with it.” A better question might be: Why do E.T.'s people speak English? I like to pretend we have universal translators (Star Trek) or the bikes are our TARDIS (Doctor Who) and it translates everything in range.

Its not an immersive experience
