I just want to say as a fellow Slytherin and DIE HARD Harry Potter fan that I am HERE for all the Mammoth Club Harry Potter content. NEVER stop with the delightful HP goodness, folks!!!
Better late than never…let’s sing! Happy Birthday, dear Molly Your tips prevent folly Sure you’re getting old but your heart’s gold And you make us all jolly! Sending Ravenclaw love 💙💙
We did this in the beginning of November and we loved it! We found an amazing AirBNB a few minutes away and the host had the entire apartment decked out in HP decor for the kids! It was a magical experience!
Thanks, Mammoth Club for bringing so many amazing HP experiences to us all. This was beyond incredible. I'm glad you had the chance to experience it and share it with us all!
Thank you for taking us with you! It's a bit too expensive in my opinion (food+parking+ticketsc)... but defnitely fun thing to do for families I think!
I visited the UK site last year. It’s interesting to see how they altered the route to suit the natural features. The centaurs were positioned at the top of a hill which gave them a sense of authority and dementors scene was the final part as it was at the far end of a small lake. Looked fantastic when it all lit up. Was great to revisit it through you, Molly! X
Jmchich almost didn't recognize Molly in cold people clothes for Monica me please be wow with like a him harry potter was yes by thinking his mailbox is long way in really be happy is visit to deal with money 5.00 my Christmas is that like an Okey nice
Thank you for letting us experience these events with you! I'm attending the Yule Ball this weekend but won't be able to make it to this one! LOVE your videos! 💜
I couldn't have asked for anyone better to be with in the Forbidden Forest, Molly. Your honesty about the 4-second-in tears was lovely and your excitement about all the fantastic Forbidden Forest details was heart-warming. (I was geeking out right along with you. In fact, at one moment, my mouth was falling open and you turned with the same expression on your face.) I loved your in-your-heart patronus and could see you struggle with Ron's... So glad you took us along to FFVA -- have already watched the Yule Ball, another fun time. Any content from Mammoth Club is welcome and as much HP content as you can muster will be great!
First off, I love your backpack, Molly! And second, I'm so glad you were able to go to this. I went last month with one of my friends and we had a ball!
I really want to see Molly come to Chicago for the Harry Potter: Magic at Play experience. It's the same team (Fever) that did this one. Even though that one's aimed for younger fans, aka children, every adult I know of who's gone has loved it. I think Molly would thoroughly enjoy the hands-on aspect of it all.
The HP score alone makes me cry because it's so nostalgic to me and brings me straight back to my childhood (I was 10 when the first movie came out and I saw the midnight showing with my babysitter and thought I was so cool lol) and yes, I know the books are better and yes I have read them all but the movies still hold a special place in my heart and bring me just as much joy as the books do. This video makes my hufflepuff heart v happy!!!
I declare that as long as we have enchanted and imaginative experiences like this one (especially when curated by the likes of Molly), the human heart will go on!
I think it is really incredible that they are doing events outside the Parks. Fans who live in places like the Northeast or Mid America can have a HP experience.
OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!! I loved this so much! Thanks for sharing - your videos always make me feel like I'm there with you 😀. I hope this comes back next year because I just couldn't make it work to go this year.
I love the way you explain everything precisely and you give your own personal opinion. I wish you could be in New York City for New York Philharmonic, playing the entire score live, while the movie is being shown of Harry Potter and the goblet of fire. It is sensational! It’s happening next week for me. Can’t wait!
I had not heard about this event at all!! I'm so bummed that it is no where near where I live but it looks amazing and I love watching you get the feels about Harry Potter stuff. :) When the unicorns appeared my mouth just dropped and I instantly got tears in my eyes and then you turned the camera and you had the exact same expression. What an incredibly magical experience. Thank you for sharing it with us!!
My Husband and I did this a few weeks ago!! We're Northern VA natives but love and watch your channel all the time! So glad you got to experience this!
Laughing so hard at 16:15 when you talk about the wands for the Patronus. I obviously brought mine, too, when we went in November to the NY forest 💁🏼♀️🪄
I live 30 minutes from Leesburg and keep meaning to look at going. I'll probably wait until January because tickets for the rest of Dec are expensive. It's awesome such a cool event is happening in northern VA.
I've visited the one in Belgium last Friday, it was so magical! Fun to see similar but also differences in the trails. Really loved the interactive parts with Buckbeak, the patronus, Arragog and the curses. The only sad part I experienced at the one in Belgium is that most of the staff members didn't know anything about Harry Potter 🙈
Uggghhhh arachnophobia sucks! At first I thought "huh... Ok this is fine, the spiders on Ark (a video game) are worse and I'm getting better at dealing with that, I'm ok with this, this is fi-..... nope. This is no longer fine, I'm not ok with this!". I would end up just clinging to my friends or my girlfriend and refuse to look. I always like to think I'll be ok, but 9 times out of 10, I'm not ok and end up regretting my life choices.
“I’d rather have a doughnut!” I felt that in my soul. I don’t like Ron either…….my patronus is a wolf. Which is perfect cuz my husband loves wolves…..his is a dolphin. Which works cuz mermaids are kinda my favorite sooooooo. Haha. It’s pretty accurate
3:14 Thank you for the PSA Molly. I was dealing with some severe physical issues that required a wheelchair so this gravel would’ve been annoying as fudge. I did really want to go but wheelchairs and airports are famous for not mixing at all so I couldn’t. Maybe hopefully there’s another one and I can go to that one instead without needing a wheelchair but we’ll see how things go in the coming months. 5:15 Eugh! My heart! Hagrid! Robbie Coltrane! If I wasn’t so stinking tired I’d be crying too! And they have quotes from Richard Harris as Dumbledore! It’s too much for my heart! 11:47 No Molly, 40F isn’t that cold. Until you get to 20F and lower, THEN it’s cold. I’ve been through the negative temps in my life and look like an Eskimo bundled up because I have temperature regulation problem and am always cold. 17:47 UNICORNS! I love unicorns! I would have DEFINITELY cried seeing that in person! And I do believe my Patronus WAS a unicorn when I first signed up for Pottermore but then my account was deleted so I had to redo everything and I don’t honestly remember what I have now. 19:30 I can’t see the Thestral right now because we’re looking thru your eyes but I can see them most definitely. I’ve had several encounters with death and it’s not been a fun journey. Last one was my cat in 2015 who passed in my arms two days before his 6th birthday. The vet believed it was something to do with his heart or a seizure or something even though he had a full checkup not even a month prior. So, yes, I can see Thestrals with my own eyes but not here since we’re looking through yours. 22:15 I would stick with the pastries and such from the Fat Fryer tbph. Fish & Chips are way too expensive and you could a lot more food with the Dragonfire Roasts Cauldron Feast for $20. And you could share more with friends or family than you could Fish & Chips. But I do love a good hot chocolate with cinnamon sprinkle on top. Or on the bottom right before you pour the hot chocolate into the cup. Idk what the cinnamon does with the chocolate but I can’t have mine any other way now!
We are going to the Westchester one in January - it will be a Christmas present for my kids (we love experience gifts). It was great to see this ahead of time. We can't wait!! Thanks for all of your wonderful content - inside and outside the parks.
Omg THANK YOU for the spider warning! I close my eyes on Forbidden Journey during that part of the ride every time lmao. I am absolutely beyond terrified of spiders.
I went to this a few weeks ago and bought gloves with light-up fingertips at the merch booth right at the beginning. I'm very impressed that you made it through holding the camera without gloves!
I’m not too far from Leesburg and wanted to do this, but too much $$$ for our family of 4 this holiday season. I’m so glad that I could experience it through your channel. Thanks!
Molly, my heart is hurting, lol. Ron is one of my faves!! Don’t speak ill about a Weasley, ha ha. Also, as always thanks for this tour - you are amazing!
Hershey PA is an area to check out. We have the park and so many other unique experiences ( like the butterfly gardens). But you are also only an hour away from two other cool parks... Dorney Park and Knobles Grove Amusement park ( this is on of the oldest parks on the east coast and its free to get into! You pay per ride like how Disneyland use to be.).
We were looking at the NY experience but were debating over the price of if it was worth it but then we saw your video Molly and were like we HAVE TO GO!! Bought tix this am!!! I legit teared up a couple of times it was so magical! I even shouted to my Pygmy Puff Princess Fluffington who sits near the tv to check out her friends on tv 😂 (Yea cause I’m a grown adult lol) Thank you Mammoth Club for you amazing content!! ❤
Thank you for al the great content you share Molly! If you love a forrest full of wonders i can deffinately reccomend going to Efteling themepark. They have a farytale forrest that is superb. Next to a brunch of extremely well themed attrections.
Thank you so much for this video. We live nearby and hadn't thought about buying tickets to this event until we saw this video. Hoping to go check it out next week!
Loved it! Thanks for sharing, because it is highly unlikely that I will ever get to experience this in person. Looking forward to whatever will be next!!
Forty-something in MN you would be wearing a long leave shirt with a hat and gloves at night. In the sun short sleeves, possibly depending on where in MN you are from shorts. Maybe even a bathing suit if you live in Embarrass MN.
Wow! This was so cool! Thanks for taking us along! We're getting to see so many things we would never get to ourselves! Once again, you make us feel like we are there with you!
Molly THIS IS THE BEST video. You are the best. I loved your commentary. This is the next best thing to getting to go (it sold out so fast!) THANK YOU!
Great video!I also went on my own, had the greatest time! I did ask if they r coming back next year and they said yes! Will bring the family next year. It was 30’s last friday but I was toasty w thermals and even warm pads in my pockets while I wore my luna lion hat.
Seems like such a unique experience compared to a lot of other TV/Movie experiences that just shows sets, props, etc. wish they would bring it to Canada but probably way too cold here lol
This is a great experience, recently did the UK one in Cheshire, near Manchester & Liverpool, highly recommended for all HP fans but wrap up warm and wear your boots/wellies!!
I’m still debating it we are going to do this. I definitely want to for our Harry Potter loving household. Thanks for doing this in case we can’t make it Molly! Definitely going to show this to my boys
I'm so sad that it is 2 months later and i'm just now watching this realizing you were in my home state! I didn't get to visit this yet and was just telling my husband we should goooooooo.
This is the coolest! Thanks for bringing us this experience, Molly! Being from the Midwest that was pretty mild. But when we were in Orlando last January the temps dipped under 40 degrees and it felt colder somehow. Sipping on some hot pumpkin coffee while I’m watching this.
Couldn’t watch this yet! We go to the Cheshire one in the UK tonight and we have our wands at the ready!! Super excited for it, I e avoided any spoilers so far, and then I can finally watch Mollys video to compare it to the event in the uk!!! ❄️🎄🦌 eeeeeeeek 😂
Just a follow up! It was absolutely incredible!! In the uk they offered more opportunities for interactive experiences and spell casting throughout the journey through the forbidden forest. Such as changing the colour of the mushrooms, and conjuring dark marks and snakes on the trees. It was truly magical. Loved Mollys video, think the experiences were very similar, but definitely think from seeing this, there was more at the uk site ❤
I did this in November and it was awesome! The camera doesn’t do some of the effects justice - it really looked like the unicorn was in the forest with you.
I watched this because I figured it would be misleading. It definitely is. I live 20 minutes away and came a few times, once with my tween, and once with my friends. I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I went to London just for HP tours, and have everything HP. With that being said this is extremely disappointing. At first the tickets were almost impossible to get, but now they are offering more, usually last entry times. If you go at the last entry time all of the food stands are closed. I went once as a last entry. Parking is a nightmare. You walk up and see the stag way off to the side, and a super long line to take pics. It is never deserted like in this video. There are mobs of people. When you first walk in the Hagrid, Buckbeak, and small treasure chest statues are all together. They weren’t doing the interactive Buckbeack when I was there. Then there is the werewolf signs with just some lights, and the Grawp statue. After that it is a long walk of just lights and music. The lights of different things like the Deathly Hallows signs are hard to spot/see. Then there are lights, and you hear the car, see more lights and then there is a statue of the car, and the midpoint village. They didn’t have the bakery items when I went, and the food was not good. The most disappointing thing of the experience is the Butterbeer. I paid $13 for a small plastic cup, and wanted to spit the sip I had out, it was horrific. Then you walk a while to just music and lights. Towards the end you see the unicorn and Centaurs on a clearly visible large tv screen basically. Then you go into this small area that looks like a kids jungle gym and you have to wait for the small plastic spiders to come down. Then there are the small statues of the pixies and Pygmy puffs and that’s it. We couldn’t do the patronus which is waving a wand and watching something come up on a screen, because the line went on forever, and people wouldn’t make their bad kids move on. The gift shop was pretty much wiped out, but it is expensive to the extreme. I bought me and my daughter hoodies that have the forbidden forest logo on them and some things on the back, we got the last ones. Or there was a hoodie with the event logo and your Hogwarts house listed. They were about $70 a piece. The baby Niffler plushes were around $30, and my daughter needed a winter hat in the beginning, and the blue winter hat with the event logo was like $25 maybe more I paid about $250 when I was there. The tickets were around $60 a piece. My tween loves HP, her room is decorated in HP things, and we absolutely love Universal, but she said she was bored. I definitely wouldn’t travel for the experiences or spend money you don’t have on the event.
I have been to the one in Cheshire, UK for the first time a few months ago. The experience was absolutely AMAZING! I think my boyfriend got most of it on video. Loved the spider section where the spiders drop down on you. I made sure to do everything! I may do a video reacting to everything on my channel because I don’t actually remember much of this. Although can I just say my boyfriend is not a Harry Potter fan but he was willing to record for me and take a picture for me and duelled with me. I just wish I had taken my Ravenclaw wand with me. We were doing other things while in the area as my bf had work there at the time. Also side note my patronus was a Wildcat.
If you are reading this and arent local to the area, but would like some suggestions for hotels, where to grab dinner, other things to do in the Leesburg/Loudoun county area please feel free to comment below and Im happy to help! Ive lived here my whole life and live minutes from this event.
I just want to say as a fellow Slytherin and DIE HARD Harry Potter fan that I am HERE for all the Mammoth Club Harry Potter content. NEVER stop with the delightful HP goodness, folks!!!
"I have no one to duel against except my inner demons." Same, Molly, same.
I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to this experience, so I am so grateful Molly got to enjoy it and share it with us 💗
I live 10 minutes from the event, and have gone twice already! SOOOOO happy to see my Favorite TH-camr made it out to see this incredible event!!!!
Does it sell out? How many days does it usually stick around for?
Better late than never…let’s sing!
Happy Birthday, dear Molly
Your tips prevent folly
Sure you’re getting old but your heart’s gold
And you make us all jolly!
Sending Ravenclaw love 💙💙
As a fellow Ravenclaw I am very excited for the upcoming adventures that are coming from outside of the theme parks.
💙💙 represent!
We did this in the beginning of November and we loved it! We found an amazing AirBNB a few minutes away and the host had the entire apartment decked out in HP decor for the kids! It was a magical experience!
May I know the contact number for this Air BNB please I am planning to go there soon , thanks a lot
Thanks, Mammoth Club for bringing so many amazing HP experiences to us all. This was beyond incredible. I'm glad you had the chance to experience it and share it with us all!
This is so cool!! Thank you for taking us along these amazing immersive experiences!! I also would’ve been crying, Molly!
Thank you for taking us with you! It's a bit too expensive in my opinion (food+parking+ticketsc)... but defnitely fun thing to do for families I think!
I visited the UK site last year. It’s interesting to see how they altered the route to suit the natural features. The centaurs were positioned at the top of a hill which gave them a sense of authority and dementors scene was the final part as it was at the far end of a small lake. Looked fantastic when it all lit up. Was great to revisit it through you, Molly! X
Almost didn’t recognize Molly in cold people clothes 🥶
Same
Jmchich almost didn't recognize Molly in cold people clothes for Monica me please be wow with like a him harry potter was yes by thinking his mailbox is long way in really be happy is visit to deal with money 5.00 my Christmas is that like an Okey nice
Thank you for letting us experience these events with you! I'm attending the Yule Ball this weekend but won't be able to make it to this one! LOVE your videos! 💜
I couldn't have asked for anyone better to be with in the Forbidden Forest, Molly. Your honesty about the 4-second-in tears was lovely and your excitement about all the fantastic Forbidden Forest details was heart-warming. (I was geeking out right along with you. In fact, at one moment, my mouth was falling open and you turned with the same expression on your face.) I loved your in-your-heart patronus and could see you struggle with Ron's... So glad you took us along to FFVA -- have already watched the Yule Ball, another fun time. Any content from Mammoth Club is welcome and as much HP content as you can muster will be great!
That looked like one cool adventure. . So glad you got to experience this Molly 💐
I am totally loving all these Harry Potter Experiences you've been attending!
First off, I love your backpack, Molly! And second, I'm so glad you were able to go to this. I went last month with one of my friends and we had a ball!
I really want to see Molly come to Chicago for the Harry Potter: Magic at Play experience. It's the same team (Fever) that did this one. Even though that one's aimed for younger fans, aka children, every adult I know of who's gone has loved it. I think Molly would thoroughly enjoy the hands-on aspect of it all.
I love seeing you guys moving out of the parks. Great content.
The HP score alone makes me cry because it's so nostalgic to me and brings me straight back to my childhood (I was 10 when the first movie came out and I saw the midnight showing with my babysitter and thought I was so cool lol) and yes, I know the books are better and yes I have read them all but the movies still hold a special place in my heart and bring me just as much joy as the books do. This video makes my hufflepuff heart v happy!!!
I declare that as long as we have enchanted and imaginative experiences like this one (especially when curated by the likes of Molly), the human heart will go on!
Thanks Molly! We just went to the Harry Potter Experience in Westchester last week and loved it! It was fun to relive it through you!
I think it is really incredible that they are doing events outside the Parks. Fans who live in places like the Northeast or Mid America can have a HP experience.
OH. MY. GOSH!!!!!! I loved this so much! Thanks for sharing - your videos always make me feel like I'm there with you 😀. I hope this comes back next year because I just couldn't make it work to go this year.
I live about 3 1/2 hours away from Leesburg and now I definitely need to go to this!
I love the way you explain everything precisely and you give your own personal opinion. I wish you could be in New York City for New York Philharmonic, playing the entire score live, while the movie is being shown of Harry Potter and the goblet of fire. It is sensational! It’s happening next week for me. Can’t wait!
My little dog, Rocky, got very excited when you met Buckbeak! He ran up to the TV and barked! He wants to meet Buckbeak too!
This looks so amazing! Sorry it was so chilly! Thanks for letting us tag along, Molly! :D
I had not heard about this event at all!! I'm so bummed that it is no where near where I live but it looks amazing and I love watching you get the feels about Harry Potter stuff. :) When the unicorns appeared my mouth just dropped and I instantly got tears in my eyes and then you turned the camera and you had the exact same expression. What an incredibly magical experience. Thank you for sharing it with us!!
My Husband and I did this a few weeks ago!! We're Northern VA natives but love and watch your channel all the time! So glad you got to experience this!
Molly, your Ron Weasley Jack Russell Terrier displeasure had me ROLLING!! This place is close enough to me that I might have to go check this out!!
Laughing so hard at 16:15 when you talk about the wands for the Patronus. I obviously brought mine, too, when we went in November to the NY forest 💁🏼♀️🪄
The tone of excitement when “the trail is far from over!” warmed my heart. ❤
I live 30 minutes from Leesburg and keep meaning to look at going. I'll probably wait until January because tickets for the rest of Dec are expensive. It's awesome such a cool event is happening in northern VA.
I've visited the one in Belgium last Friday, it was so magical! Fun to see similar but also differences in the trails. Really loved the interactive parts with Buckbeak, the patronus, Arragog and the curses. The only sad part I experienced at the one in Belgium is that most of the staff members didn't know anything about Harry Potter 🙈

Love the fandom experiences! Keep ‘em coming! The parks will always be there to go back to ❤
Ahhhh, we are going next week! So excited to see this.
I will always and forever more love your Orlando and theme park content, but I love these adventures all around. More travel content, Mammoth Club!!
“I’d rather have a doughnut!” I felt that in my soul. I don’t like Ron either…….my patronus is a wolf. Which is perfect cuz my husband loves wolves…..his is a dolphin. Which works cuz mermaids are kinda my favorite sooooooo. Haha. It’s pretty accurate
My dearest Slytherin 💚 we just have to live with it (the cold that is)...sadly 🥺😮💨.
Loving the HP content and Molly's unabashed Slytherin pride.
3:14 Thank you for the PSA Molly. I was dealing with some severe physical issues that required a wheelchair so this gravel would’ve been annoying as fudge. I did really want to go but wheelchairs and airports are famous for not mixing at all so I couldn’t.

11:47 No Molly, 40F isn’t that cold. Until you get to 20F and lower, THEN it’s cold. I’ve been through the negative temps in my life and look like an Eskimo bundled up because I have temperature regulation problem and am always cold.

I have never read nor seen anything harry Potter but I am mesmerized by this! Thank you for sharing Molly, I have learned so much from you!
We are going to the Westchester one in January - it will be a Christmas present for my kids (we love experience gifts). It was great to see this ahead of time. We can't wait!! Thanks for all of your wonderful content - inside and outside the parks.
Omg THANK YOU for the spider warning! I close my eyes on Forbidden Journey during that part of the ride every time lmao. I am absolutely beyond terrified of spiders.
Why am I crying with Molly?!? I guess it just proves that us Slytherins cry too. Looks so cool there!
I went to this a few weeks ago and bought gloves with light-up fingertips at the merch booth right at the beginning. I'm very impressed that you made it through holding the camera without gloves!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love the patronus station. Love it. Hopefully one of these years can check it out myself.
You know Molly means it when she says she would rather her patronus be a donut!! 😂🍩
Buckbeak and Hedwig had me in tears. Thank you so much! Another bucket list destination!
I’m not too far from Leesburg and wanted to do this, but too much $$$ for our family of 4 this holiday season. I’m so glad that I could experience it through your channel. Thanks!
Molly, my heart is hurting, lol. Ron is one of my faves!! Don’t speak ill about a Weasley, ha ha. Also, as always thanks for this tour - you are amazing!

50 points for Slytherin! 💪
WHOOHOO! 💚💚💚💚 Let’s eat some delicious hot shmoes to celebrate! Haha. (I love that you call them that, Molly. Awesome Buzz reference 😋)
Thank you for sharing these awesome Harry Potter experiences! I’m not able to travel to these and I appreciate you showing them off!
Loved it! Thanks for sharing, because it is highly unlikely that I will ever get to experience this in person. Looking forward to whatever will be next!!
Forty-something in MN you would be wearing a long leave shirt with a hat and gloves at night. In the sun short sleeves, possibly depending on where in MN you are from shorts. Maybe even a bathing suit if you live in Embarrass MN.

Great video!I also went on my own, had the greatest time! I did ask if they r coming back next year and they said yes! Will bring the family next year. It was 30’s last friday but I was toasty w thermals and even warm pads in my pockets while I wore my luna lion hat.
My sister and I had such a fun time at this event! Glad you got to experience it!
Seems like such a unique experience compared to a lot of other TV/Movie experiences that just shows sets, props, etc. wish they would bring it to Canada but probably way too cold here lol
Thanks for sharing those Harry Potter experience, as it's not easy to go for everyone... Love your geekiness!
I love you so much Molly. Your tender heart shows how deeply a Slytherin can catch feels ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing. I had chills twice!!!!!!THanks for bringing us along.
This is a great experience, recently did the UK one in Cheshire, near Manchester & Liverpool, highly recommended for all HP fans but wrap up warm and wear your boots/wellies!!
I live 10 mins from here and want to go so badly. Thanks for showing this!
I’m still debating it we are going to do this. I definitely want to for our Harry Potter loving household. Thanks for doing this in case we can’t make it Molly! Definitely going to show this to my boys
I'm so sad that it is 2 months later and i'm just now watching this realizing you were in my home state! I didn't get to visit this yet and was just telling my husband we should goooooooo.
Been to the UK one both last year & this year. This year the centaurs were missing but it was still awesome.
Man! I am local. So cool you were here!!! I tried to get tickets but they were hard to come by. Thanks for your video.
Man, I wish I knew you were coming to my town! We loved the event.
Molly, thank you sooooo much for sharing this experience. I live in Canada and I really want to visit the Forest experience ❤
This is the coolest! Thanks for bringing us this experience, Molly! Being from the Midwest that was pretty mild. But when we were in Orlando last January the temps dipped under 40 degrees and it felt colder somehow. Sipping on some hot pumpkin coffee while I’m watching this.
Welcome to the DMV! (DC, MD & VA) I live in in DC and have tickets for end of Dec - very excited!!
The Forbidden Forest Journey is absolutely amazing! Just phenomenal! If you’re an HP/Wizarding World Fan, this is a must‼️
I am living for all this HP content 😍
Couldn’t watch this yet! We go to the Cheshire one in the UK tonight and we have our wands at the ready!! Super excited for it, I e avoided any spoilers so far, and then I can finally watch Mollys video to compare it to the event in the uk!!! ❄️🎄🦌 eeeeeeeek 😂
Just a follow up! It was absolutely incredible!! In the uk they offered more opportunities for interactive experiences and spell casting throughout the journey through the forbidden forest. Such as changing the colour of the mushrooms, and conjuring dark marks and snakes on the trees. It was truly magical. Loved Mollys video, think the experiences were very similar, but definitely think from seeing this, there was more at the uk site ❤
I did this in November and it was awesome! The camera doesn’t do some of the effects justice - it really looked like the unicorn was in the forest with you.
I watched this because I figured it would be misleading. It definitely is. I live 20 minutes away and came a few times, once with my tween, and once with my friends. I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I went to London just for HP tours, and have everything HP. With that being said this is extremely disappointing. At first the tickets were almost impossible to get, but now they are offering more, usually last entry times. If you go at the last entry time all of the food stands are closed. I went once as a last entry. Parking is a nightmare. You walk up and see the stag way off to the side, and a super long line to take pics. It is never deserted like in this video. There are mobs of people. When you first walk in the Hagrid, Buckbeak, and small treasure chest statues are all together. They weren’t doing the interactive Buckbeack when I was there. Then there is the werewolf signs with just some lights, and the Grawp statue. After that it is a long walk of just lights and music. The lights of different things like the Deathly Hallows signs are hard to spot/see. Then there are lights, and you hear the car, see more lights and then there is a statue of the car, and the midpoint village. They didn’t have the bakery items when I went, and the food was not good. The most disappointing thing of the experience is the Butterbeer. I paid $13 for a small plastic cup, and wanted to spit the sip I had out, it was horrific. Then you walk a while to just music and lights. Towards the end you see the unicorn and Centaurs on a clearly visible large tv screen basically. Then you go into this small area that looks like a kids jungle gym and you have to wait for the small plastic spiders to come down. Then there are the small statues of the pixies and Pygmy puffs and that’s it. We couldn’t do the patronus which is waving a wand and watching something come up on a screen, because the line went on forever, and people wouldn’t make their bad kids move on. The gift shop was pretty much wiped out, but it is expensive to the extreme. I bought me and my daughter hoodies that have the forbidden forest logo on them and some things on the back, we got the last ones. Or there was a hoodie with the event logo and your Hogwarts house listed. They were about $70 a piece. The baby Niffler plushes were around $30, and my daughter needed a winter hat in the beginning, and the blue winter hat with the event logo was like $25 maybe more I paid about $250 when I was there. The tickets were around $60 a piece. My tween loves HP, her room is decorated in HP things, and we absolutely love Universal, but she said she was bored. I definitely wouldn’t travel for the experiences or spend money you don’t have on the event.
Great video--you're visiting my neck of the woods! Loved it.
Welcome to northern VA! I live close to Leesburg and why did I not know about this????? Now I have to go.
After watching the video we booked tickets. Thank you Molly!
We went there back in November! It was such an amazing experience for a die hard Harry Potter fan like me. So glad you got to be there too!
Welcome to our neck of the woods!! It was so much fun doing this experience.
You were in my city!!! So upset i missed you ! But this experience was soooo amazing!!
I have been to the one in Cheshire, UK for the first time a few months ago. The experience was absolutely AMAZING! I think my boyfriend got most of it on video. Loved the spider section where the spiders drop down on you. I made sure to do everything! I may do a video reacting to everything on my channel because I don’t actually remember much of this. Although can I just say my boyfriend is not a Harry Potter fan but he was willing to record for me and take a picture for me and duelled with me. I just wish I had taken my Ravenclaw wand with me. We were doing other things while in the area as my bf had work there at the time. Also side note my patronus was a Wildcat.
i love you so much molly! thank you for always making my day.
I wish I knew you were coming to VA for the Harry Potter event!
Thank you for the preview - I am going there this weekend.
Never thought I'd watch so many Harry Potter videos, but Molly makes everything so fun and interesting lol. 🦣❤️
