So Me, Valerie, Mark the shark, Steph & Dan ventured into science park Sunday early afternoon hoping to get right in to the anticipated Harry Potter Exhibit!! It was nerdfestly perfect! So we get to the Museum of Science a tad after 1pm to be greeted with tourists and families galore. What else do people have to do on a bone-chilling sunday afternoon in Boston...learn? Damn straight. We didn't get Harry Potter reservations until 4:20, a solid 3 hours to kill in the museum.....YES PLEASE! That place never gets old to me, and i've been there dozens of times since as far back as i can remember. Favorite spots, Mathematics room, electricity, waves/wind.....gift shop (space food! and poprocks and geodes). I usually hit up a laser light show or an IMAX, but Harry Potter was the only special event budgeted for this time.
Ugh no Photos or cell phones allowed in the harry potter stuff. We played some quidditch, checked out some talking wall photos, the screaching fat lady let us into Griffyndor house, lots of costumes and set props from the movies. I got to pluck some of those screeching plants from the greenhouse, chill with the centaurs and some bostonians trying to fake an english accent. The super neat part was the separate harry potter gift shop that was set up just like the shops in Grimmauld Place in the movies. The collectors shit was rediculously overpriced, it was still pretty awesome. these cute little girls were casting spells in their best Hermione Granger voice "no, no it's wingardium leviosa" gotta love mini larpers.
i've got pics of everything non harry potter: t-rex, apollo replica, lightning show nerds, etc.
