Ahh,, Daniel Radcliffe is such a cutie, hes so adorable :) And hes so good with kids... it makes my heart melt watching him being so hyper and friendly ha ha ;) This park is such a dream come true for me,... but I wish it actually snowed there. :P Gosh, this comes such a long way for all the HP fans from being disappointed in not getting a letter from Hogwarts on our 11th birthdays to actually being able to visit this magical world, :)
