So this post (along with most of the following ones) will have a TON of pictures!

| Chris and I hanging out in Hogsmeade with the Hogwarts Express |
After hanging around Hogsmeade for a while we headed up to the Hogwarts Castle. In order to ride the Forbidden Journey ride in the castle you have to deposit all bags, camera, etc before entering the castle. But they have an option for a "tour only" where you take a different route through the castle, but end up at the exit of the ride. Here are some pictures that we took from inside the castle.

So after touring the castle we saw the Hogwarts Frog Choir heading down to sing for everyone. They were actually very good and it was quite enjoyable. :) They sang 4 songs!

After riding the rides a few times and just walking around we decided to stop back in the Three Broomsticks and get a drink and just take a break. We got a pumpkin juice (which really does taste like pumpkin pie) and a butterbeer (yes we drank a ridiculous number of butterbeers during our trip..no judging!)

And lucky for us as the park was closing the Hogwarts Express Conductor was there to gather up the stragglers and get them on the train! (well not really but he was out there to say bye)
 |
| We discussed pumpkin juice and he was telling me that he likes to have his pumpkin juice warmed up after a long cold day and put a little something special in it! |
 |
| We talked the entire time I was there to take a picture so out of the 20 Chris took this was the best I got :) Well that ends up day 2. We were ready to go back before we even left the park. :) |
