Harry Potter changed my life, when I was 8 years old my family moved to Florida and I was lonely, had no friends, and was picked on constantly at school. Reading the Harry Potter books was the only thing that saved me. These books are so close to my heart and I set aside time each year to reread the series and my love for them only grows each time. When I heard the park was opening it was all I could think about and so for my birthday last year on July 26th I bought tickets and drove up there thinking it was going to be the most amazing experience...it was a disaster. We couldn't find the hotel we were staying at so we got there extremely late and an hour after we got in my boyfriend at the time was so sick he had to leave. Then my friends convinced me to wait in line for this one ride I really didn't want to ride all I wanted to do was explore and see everything so I could feel like I was in the books. However, we were in line for about 2 hrs and it broke down and the park was closing soon I hadnt seen anything so I left my friends in the line and tried to explore and wanted to buy souveniers but realized that I left my stuff in the locker with my friends fingerprints as the key to opening it and it was too dark to see anything anymore so I waited alone until my friends were done with the ride. Then when we left we found my car had been hit in the parking lot. So I spent loads of money on tickets, food, hotel, and money to fix my car to have a horrible disappointment of a birthday. I was devastated I waited 3 years for this place to open and I was there and didn't get to experience it at all and now I can't afford to go and won't be able to for a long long time. If I won this I would cherish EVERY Moment and make sure I get to see anything and everything there is too see.
