If you don’t like Harry Potter and visit my blog regularly, I apologize, because you’re going to hear me geek out about it endlessly until I go visit the new Harry Potter attraction at Islands of Adventure in August. Last year, Jen and I went to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Disney World for a vacation, and we’re going back again in 2010 just to see the Harry Potter stuff. It’s totally dorky, I know, but I can live with it, especially when I’m doing totally sweet stuff and you aren’t.

Anyway, it’s hard for me not to geek out about it when I see stuff like this YouTube video, where a wand chooses a kid at Ollivander’s. How awesome is that?

Yes, I know it’s totally fake, but let’s get real: I am a big kid on the inside. If you can’t tell, I’m ridiculously pumped about the trip, which is in just a couple of short months. Between now and then, I’m sure I’ll be making some more posts about why I love this series so much, including an article about some of the two best sermons on death I’ve seen in recent in years: Harry Potter and Shadow of the Colossus.

Who else wants to go to this park? Has anyone been?
