My Favorite Place: A Magical Time

The magical world of Disney is one of my favorite places to visit. I have been to Disneyworld in Florida as well as Disneyland in California twice each. All four times, I am mesmerized by the beauty of Disney. I love rollercoasters, so those are always fun, but the cute little characters and musicals along the way are just as amazing to experience. Besides Disney, I always adore Universal Studios, especially since they created the Harry Potter world. As I walked into the Hogwarts castle, Gringotts Bank, Diagon Alley, rode the numerous rides through the castle, and bought my first wand at Ollivander's, I experienced a whole world that I had been waiting to experience since I was in elementary school. I hope to visit these magical places once again soon.

  1. What great pictures, Akriti... and the magic of Harry Potter has been part of these classes for many years now! With the Patil sisters, that is such a good excuse to do Harry-Potter-themed stories in the Indian Epics class. When you look at the Storybooks, check out this one from last semester; it was really fun: Hogwarts: The Loyalty of Brothers

    2. Isn't that cool? People have done Hogwarts stories for the weekly storytelling in this class also: with Padma or Parvati as your storyteller, you can instantly bring any India story into a Hogwarts frame! And there are so many cool stories about shape-shifting creatures and other magical beings from the Indian epics who blend perfectly into the Rowling universe.
