Harry Potter has meant so much to my daughter and I as we have escaped into the amazing world that JK Rowling created. We grew to love the characters so much, they seem to have become a part of our real lives. It was so exciting reading each book and so much fun waiting at midnight for the next book to be placed in our hands. We would read straight for days to find out "what happened next," And to see the books come alive on the big screen has been truly spectacular. We've almost seen every movie at a midnight showing. How fun to be the first to see the movie. How exciting to talk about what we liked and didn't like...trying to hold our tongues for those that hand't seen it. I have Chron's disease, and HP has given me something to look forward to during some very dark times. I would think to myself, you can't give up, HP comes out in November. Since Universal Studios annouced that they were building the World of Harry Potter. We have been dying to go. But, my medical bills have left us with little money for such a vacation. We have been through a VERY tough year, but after 3 surgeries, I'm finally fealing great. I just started a new job. I was able to go to the midnight show of HP and the Deathly Hallows. We arrived home at about 3:30 a.m. I slept for a few hours and made it to work at 8am. I'm finally able to play with my youngest. My kids have been through so much with me being sick a lot this past year, It would mean SO MUCH to my family to be able to go on such an amazing vacation. They desearve it! I have the best kids in the world and a terrific husband. We need some FUN and joy!! To be able to see the castle, have Butter Beer, ride the rides, buy wands, mail a letter from hogsmead...... I mean this would be a dream vacation for us!! It would mean the world to us!!
