 * 13th Week**
 * wrote a haiku about Harry Potter Land (in Universal Studios)

"Winter" everywhere Sparks to life amidst the streets Magic in the breeze


 * SEASON: "Winter" everywhere - in one of the villages there is fake snow on the roof to make it look as though it's in the winter - like the book.
 * EMOTION: Sparks to life amidst the streets - It feels like you are in a Harry Potter book - //Excitement//.
 * NATURE: Magic in the breeze - referring to Florida's nice weather (but often windy)


 * 14th Week - Last Week! :(**
 * Wrote a song Harry Potter Land
 * Performed "I Feel Pretty/Unpretty" medley from //GLEE//.

It's where the magic all began Where it all runs free It's just like that big black dog From Harry Potter 3
 * Harry Potter Land LYRICS:

Drink some yummy Butterbeer It tastes just like heaven Like the taste of victory from Harry Potter 7

BRIDGE: Every ride's an awesome ride But one that you must see The Forbidden Journey ride It's even in 3D

You might think this song is dumb I don't care what you say Harry Potter is better than Twilight In every single way

CHORUS X2: Harry Potter Land Where the Potterheads belong Harry Potter Land Correct me if you think I'm wrong, But Harry Potter's really great Wish there was a number 8 JK Rowling wouldn't care She's already a billionaire _ YAY!
