From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks
Unlike any other land within a theme park, the shops at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, part of Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando, stay completely true to the Potter theme. And they have some mighty strange items for sale.

Ten of the Weirdest Harry Potter Items for Sale
Looking for sunscreen, batteries, or a bottle of Mountain Dew? Forget it. But if you are looking for Quidditch gear, golden snitches, or flying brooms, you're in luck. Those and other items that would be for sale in the "real" Hogsmeade Village can be purchased in Universal Orlando's Harry Potter theme park. I've assembled my picks for ten of the most unusual items (plus one honorable mention) found in the shops at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Don't Dally on These Theme Park Deals
Are you thinking of planning a vacation to the theme park hotspots in Florida or California? Perhaps you want to include a park trip among your holiday gifts. If so, you'll want to check out the latest theme park discounts and deals. Among the limited-time offers:

  • Save on 2011 Disneyland tickets
  • Save up to 35% on a 2-night stay at an on-property Disneyland hotel
  • Knock $30 off a front-of-the-line pass at Universal Studios Hollywood
  • Free Disney Dining Plan at Walt Disney World
  • Buy 2 nights, get one free at participating hotels with a SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica combo ticket/hotel package.

To learn about these and other great deals, go to my Florida Theme Park Discounts and California Theme Park Discounts pages.


Griff is Good
Universal sent a lovely photo of actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones enjoying a ride on the Flight of the Hippogriff coaster at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter along with their children. Check it out.

The World's 10 Tallest Roller Coasters
Roller coasters are often known for their speed. But in order to reach mind-numbing speeds, they have to first scale vertigo-inducing heights (at least in traditional non-launched coasters). No standing beyond this point as we click-clack-click up the world's tallest coasters.
