The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Okay so Harry Potter land was great. I had butter beer and I thought it was awesome. Kinda like cream soda with whipped cream on top. Mmmmm ButterBeer. I am kind of only talking about myself, so sorry, because the rest of the post will probably be like this. Okay, onwards! When I passed through the castle, I sort of did that little "Tiny scream jump up and down" dance. It was pretty cool. I have to compliment them on their talking portraits. They were amazing and looked so much like a canvas I thought they really were talking photos (sort of). I was kind of disappointed with the newspaper photo, but hey, nothing can be perfect. I didn't go on any rides, because I might have been so excited that I would have accidentally broken one. We went to Ollivander's and I got a wand. I had to get tested like Harry Potter did, and I was so embarrassed. It was kind of overshot but hey, It was still awesome. One thing I didn't like is that you couldn't get little cages for the pygmy puffs or the owls. It kinda bummed me out. I got lots of stuff at the gift shops. (Half of it was because I wasn't getting anything, so my dad got it for me) It was pretty darn awesome.
List of Stuff:

Pink Pygmy Puff  For Viola (If she has one already, For Emma!)

Purple Pygmy Puff

Pink Pygmy Puff #2  For Tessa!

Wand (Birch, something or other inches, Dragon Heartstring I think?)

Time Turner (I wish it could work)

Owl (Heck yeah I got an owl!)

Pocket Sneakoscope

Notebook (It's my favorite)

Chocolate Frog

Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans

Dragon Playing Cards

Four Color Hogwarts Scarf


It's going to be so troublesome to pack :D

At the Airport

Okay, so I'm really excited about Harry Potter land and there may be a bunch of other posts before I actually get around to the review. Anyways I'm sitting in the airport dying of thirst and waiting for the plane. Yay. They have these really good waffles here. They kinda taste like cookies.
Mmmmm WaffleCookies

Harry Potter Land

I am going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with my dad tomorrow, so my next post will just be a quick review of the park. I think it will be fun. Mmmm butter beer. 

Recounts

1. 
   

   noun

   1.

1. an act or instance of giving an account of an event or experience.

   "one woman's recount of a prolonged battle with “huge centipedes.”"

Why do we write recounts? Because you want to share news or stories to people that don't know what happened

How do we organize a recount? 

What is a personal recount? Retelling an event that you were personally involved in (whether you were included in the event or just simply saw it

What is a Factual recount? A factual recount is when you tell someone what happened, without adding any extra embellishments or small lies

Imaginative recount? An imaginative recount is telling something from another person's view (ex; a pirate) This type of recount could be completely made up, (ex; the pirate could have a magic toothbrush)

In what publications do we find recounts? Recounts are seen in newspaper articles, magazines, someones diary *cough*Quinn*cough*, blogs, TV show scripts, etc.

The Collie Dog

The the border collie ran towards the red barn, large piece of chicken hanging from his mouth. Even though it was raining, the moon was bright and the black and white collie could see some of the lanterns lit in the windows. The grass squelched under his feet and the red bandana around his neck was dripping with water. Dark mud splattered his feet and chest, but he ran forward, the dim glow coming from the barn, almost seeming to warm him. He leapt through the doors, startling several white chickens. He reached some hay and scraped it away from a large cardboard box. The collie dropped the chicken at the mouth of the box and poked his head inside. A brown, white, and black collie lay on the bottom of the box, surrounded by several multicolored puppies. The black and white collie almost seemed to smile.
