Wow, for the final year of the Pirate-Potter House display, they went all out. If you get a chance, drive by here and walk through their recreation of Dragon Alley (in their garage), or through the “greenhouse” (I had those screaming Mandrake plants) then out back into the Forbidden Forest where you might spot the Three Broomsticks. They have amazing attention to detail!
When you approach, you see Harry Potter’s home on Privet Drive 😉
There is also a Quidditch game going on.
Over at the garage, they have recreated Diagon Alley.
You even run into Dumbledore in his office.
Around the side of the house is the greenhouse, home of those screaming Mandrake plants. You can even pull one out of its planter 😉 and make it scream at you.
Heading behind the house leads you past Hagrid’s hut.
And that gets you to the Forbidden Forest.
Above, see that little black box on the gate? Throughout the display they have audio that triggers when you are near certain scenes. It is very nicely done.
There is so much more to this place, but this sample should show you what it is all about. I haven’t seen anything like is anywhere else in town. If you know of anything similar, leave a comment, please. We’d love to check it out.
