TRAVEL QUIBBLER
The Best Wizarding Summer Destinations
by Calleva_Rocks
Hello, all! As the summer grows nearer and the days grow longer, I felt as though it was time to talk about one of my favorite topics: premier summer destinations! As witches and wizards, we can have fun in places that, to the Muggle eye, appear to be deserted. With that being said, here are four of my all-time favorite summer destinations for wizards. 1. The Quidditch World Cup… With or Without the Weasleys For all of you Quidditch fans out there, this is definitely a premiere wizarding destination. Whether you worship a team like the Chudley Cannons, or a team that is actually good (such as the Holyhead Harpies) the Quidditch World Cup makes for a vacation that will provide you with happy memories to last a lifetime. While some seats are more expensive than others, 95 percent of witches and wizards agree that their money was well spent after attending a world cup event. So gather your friends and get ready to meet new people from all over the Wizarding world! Maybe, you’ll be lucky enough to make a new friend for life! 2. The Fake Hogwarts in Poland If you want to see a Muggle-infused replica of Hogwarts, book yourself and some friends tickets to visit the College of Wizardry at Czocha Castle in Poland. Inside, you will find Muggles running
around and pretending to be witches and wizards (how’s that for a self-esteem boost?). While tickets are pricey, it’s worthwhile to get the chance to compare this castle to Hogwarts… and bring back some souvenirs for all of your friends!
3. Diagon Alley… For Fun, Not School Supplies I know this seems basic, but how many of you have recently taken a stroll in Diagon Alley just for fun? I know that I’d like to go to pick up some new color changing quills, eat some Lavender ice cream, and admire the new brooms that are in stock. 4. The Harry Potter World Park in Orlando, Florida If you couldn’t already tell from the fake Hogwarts in Poland, Muggles are pretty obsessed with magic folk. If you want to go overseas, consider taking a trip to Florida, specifically Orlando, Florida. There, you can purchase tickets to get into Universal Studios, where, among other things, there is a whole Harry Potter theme park for Muggles to enjoy. Drink some butterbeer and enjoy some roller coasters while feeling just a little bit creeped out by how this park resembles some favorite spots in wizarding London. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, but I hope it gives you a good starting point to plan a fun, relaxing, wizardry vacation this summer. Happy travels!
