an event that when I was here the first
0:31
two weeks of this month was not
0:33
happening
0:34
so I decided I'd pop back in towards
0:36
this time frame of the month
0:40

0:42
coincidentally worked out the first
0:43
through the 14th when I was here it
0:45
wasn't happening but now it is and I'm
0:48
back to check it out in just a moment

3:53
located in Wizarding World find a moment
3:56
of Hope hidden in the darkness now I
3:58
have heard there is a rumor that there
4:00
might be some Death Eaters walking
4:01
around but I'm reading this and it
4:03
doesn't give any clues other than it's
4:05
going to be on the projection
4:08
oh they they do not put he who should
4:10
not be named they actually called him by
4:11
his real title right there
4:13
I shouldn't say that right there but
4:15
yeah it's located
4:16
at Hogwarts Castle the upper lot
4:19
Universe Studios Hollywood
4:22
and I'm looking at these fish over here
4:24
it says do not feed the fish but I could
4:27
possibly cast a spell and feed them
4:31
with this
4:37
no don't eat the wand don't eat the wand
4:37
fish don't eat the want I don't know
4:39
what a feeding spell would be I gotta
4:41
brush up on my Wizardry they all seeing
4:43
minion looks over the valley
4:50
I believe that one koi fish was casting
4:50
a spell with me with his eyes and mouth
4:52
he was staring at tintly and almost
4:55
speaking a spell not a speaking spell
4:58
but speaking
5:00
spell
5:02
now I mentioned this yesterday that you
5:04
can just walk over to the theme park
5:05
from the room at the Hilton if you stay
5:08
here where I'm staying all you have to
5:09
do is go down the elevator walk out the
5:11
lobby walk around this side and then
5:15
head up there's also a shuttle so this
5:17
shuttle runs back and forth all day or
5:19
you can choose to walk
5:21
down this little incline up that hill
5:24
and across the bridge
5:27
and right there
5:28
where that flagpole is is the entrance
5:32
to the park another look there at the
5:34
hotel and this is the walkway so you
5:37
gotta cross over here
5:47
and then up and over that
5:47
to the park a little flight of stairs to
5:50
walk up first should also mention that
5:52
so you go up these stairs over that
5:55
and then as you cross over the bridge
5:57
continue walking you go through the
6:00
checkpoints where the screenings and
6:02
check your pockets and fanny packs and
6:04
backpacks and all that and then you go
6:06
see the globe
6:09
which has not been moving the globe has
6:11
not been moving which before the globe
6:13

your left might look familiar some
7:53

Hagrid's motorcycle and here's his
14:49
little Hut right here as well there's
14:52
Fang up in there

14:58
hippogriff I think you're supposed to do
15:00
you're supposed to Bow
15:02
as well as they're going up there it's
15:04
going up up
15:06
away they have this netting here in case
15:08
anything falls out any wands fall out or
15:11
anything like that but yeah it's going
15:12
around this is a good good time for it
15:14
too with the magic hour with the sun
15:16
kind of setting and dusk
15:19
around
15:33
oh
15:42
man I'm like disoriented now look at the
15:42
castle looks like beautiful up there you
15:44
guys handle it all right yeah you did it
15:47
yes
15:49
Peter and David they didn't go on this
15:51
they're hanging out over there by the
15:53
castle lizard spells they're doing more
15:56
spells they're a wizard Harry all right
15:59
one down
16:01
one more to go over here in this land
16:03
you have the back patch going on with He
16:05
Who Shall Not Be Named that's the same
16:08
wand I have I have the one he had I'm
16:09
trying to like pull it out of my little
16:11
holster here so I have his wand it's
16:13
always interesting how he kind of holds
16:14
it who do you have in the front pocket
16:15
here I have my bow truck called Jeffrey
16:18
Jeffrey Jeffrey my little bow chuckle
16:21
very nice you were gonna wear your uh
16:22
your outfit yeah it's gonna feel close
16:24
but
16:25
it's a little yeah it's well you could
16:28
probably get away with it now because
16:29
like the it's starting the sun's
16:30
starting to go down but
16:32
yeah you have your little little Jeffrey
16:35
Jeffrey Forbidden Journey Forbidden
16:37
Journey we are not forbidden to go on it
16:40
though we are being allowed on it
16:41
because we're a wizard Harry guys love
16:44
the theming going through here through
16:46
the rock work and into the castle itself
16:49
and when you have the express pass you
16:51
get to go in the area that has all of
16:52
the talking portraits through here yeah
16:55
I think the regular queue line you don't
16:56
get to go through here so this is kind
16:58
of one of the perks of the uh having the
17:00
express pass which we all have the
17:03
express pass so the other day we went on
17:05
this and this whole entire queue was
17:07
completely filled up not as much right
17:10
now look at how to stop there
17:13
oh and there's the infamous Sorting Hat
17:16
right there Ravenclaw I could smell a
17:20
dragon in here oh I can I can almost
17:22
hear him wait wait oh I can hear this
17:24
see the shadow up here these
17:26
side of the building
17:27
oh wait wait Quincy right here he's
17:30
right here oh
17:31
oh there's the dragon fire breathing
17:34
dragon
17:42
oh there's a spider not good remember
17:42
when I eat this tree up there's another
17:43
big
17:52
spider's everywhere out here not good oh
17:52
not good
18:03
spiders everywhere
18:03
oh here's the tree going upside down
18:07
oh my gosh
18:11
wow the tree left angry tree such an
18:15
angry tree
18:17
oh this is a scary room right here every
18:21
oh oh my god oh
18:25
holy cow could this be like literally
18:28
one of the scariest rides oh I love it
18:32
really horrifying
18:35
oh my God all right now exiting out of
18:39
the castle they do have some of the dark
18:40
art stuff kind of scattered look check
18:42
this out they have the dark mark Lolly
18:45
oh that is such a good ride definitely
18:48
like one of my favorite like theme park
18:50
rides I just think it's so good the way
18:51
they mix like practical effects with
18:53
like a coaster type of thing and then
18:56
like digital it's just like I don't know
18:58
it's just like a really groundbreaking
19:00
ride I just love it I put that in uh
19:03
probably in my top ten as far
19:04
technologically advanced rides all right
19:07
now we're walking over to the Boar's
19:08
Head and the shrunken heads up there to
19:10
try to get a hot butter bee or a couple
19:12
hot butter beers look there's some even
19:14
like little shrunken heads up okay we
19:16
were told they do not have them at the
19:17
Boar's Head place you have to walk back
19:19
over to the main three broomsticks
19:21
restaurant to get hot butter beer right
19:22
now this is not a coffee this is a
19:25
piping hot
19:26
butter beer I like the cold butter beer
19:28
I like the regular butter beer I like
19:30
the Frosted butter beer but I also like
19:32
the warm butter beer it looks like
19:34
they've already got the castle all kind
19:35
of starting to be illuminated do you
19:36
like it
19:37
it's like the best thing ever right it's
19:39
the single greatest thing I've ever had
19:41
do you like it
19:57
so basically what's gonna happen is
19:57
they're gonna do projections on the
19:59
castle itself and the castle is going to
20:01
come alive with the dark arts and you
20:04
know it's not too windy so I was hoping
20:07
that what's going to happen is is after
20:09
they all do all of the different
20:10
projections on the castle itself and
20:13
almost like like I said the castle just
20:14
completely comes alive and Evil under
20:17
the shroud of Nightfall and the dark
20:19
arts themselves and they do a drone show
20:22
off to the left facing the castles off
20:24
to the left of the castle where the sky
20:27
is illuminated with drones the last time
20:29
I saw this was back I think in 2017 or
20:32
18 I think I was still living in
20:34
Hollywood my mom came to visit we
20:36
watched it she was very impressed I
20:37
don't even know if she's even seen any
20:39
of the Potter films in fact at that
20:40
point I had not seen any of the Harry
20:42
Potter films but now I have watched all
20:44
watch them all in order last year and
20:46
come from start to finish and definitely
20:48
have a new appreciation for the land now
20:50
that I have seen all the movies I know
20:53
all the characters I know all the little
20:54
nuances and all the Easter eggs and
20:56
things like there's still a lot of stuff
20:57
I don't know a lot of people who know
20:58
more than I do but definitely seeing all
21:00
the movies in order last year definitely
21:03
understand a lot more but I have to say
21:05
the dark arts and the projection on the
21:07
castle it's like a lot of theme parks
21:08
sometimes they look way better at night
21:10
and I think Wizarding World definitely
21:12
looks a lot better at night than it does
21:13
during the day it's definitely a
21:15
nighttime thing
21:28
awesome
21:28
guiding everybody out
21:31
can do a few different relations
21:49
and now walking back
21:49
to the hotel
22:05
and that's going to do it for today from
22:05
pretty much the same angle I started
22:07
this video earlier during daylight hours
22:11
now Nightfall has definitely
22:14
rear to touch looking out
22:21
freeway going by there the Hollywood
22:21
Hills
22:27
Parks closed
22:27
for the night it was a good time hanging
22:28
out with friends
22:37
looking down on Universal Studios
22:42
see the castle even though the park is
22:42
closed
22:44
so kind of illuminated over there
22:47
as a City Walk
22:49
the carpet the archway everything
22:56
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
22:57
is over
