Harry Potter Exhibit

Tonight we went to the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Telus World of Science. Mr. Stannix has been into Harry Potter since the beginning and made me read the books with him after we were married. We had a fun time reading aloud to each other and I have also grown to love the series (though I probably still don't appreciate it as much as Mr. Stannix). We got to enjoy the night with Mike's brother and girl friend! We started out by getting our photo taken in front of the green screen, and since they don't allow photo's anywhere else, I had to have a copy to remember the night! We then went with our group and a few of us got to try on the sorting hat and get put into houses. It was neat to see the real costumes and props from the movie. They had the Great Hall, Hagrids hut and the Gryffindor common room. Mike was excited to see the real life wands. We also got to see the Quidditch uniforms and toss a "Quaffle". They also had an area where you could pull out a Mandrake and listen to the horrible screeching. It was really fun to see everything and do the audio tour. Big shout out to my little brother for watching our crazies while we had a date. It was sure nice to get out and enjoy some time with Mr. Stannix!
