The Harry Potter stuff at Universal Florida

This is my daughter's school vacation week, so we spent a few days at the Universal resort in Orlando, a pair of large theme parks (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure) with an associated shopping/restaurant/entertainment area (CityWalk) and a bunch of hotels

Interesting fact I just learned: they didn't actually get Daniel Radcliffe or Emma Watson when they recorded the video/voice material for Escape from Gringotts and the Hogwarts Express. I didn't notice, though I see a lot of complaints online that Hermione's voice sounds really wrong.

One effect that completely failed to register on us was the illusion of people passing through the brick wall to get to platform Nine and Three-Quarters... because when we rode the Hogwarts Express, there weren't enough people in line for us to see anyone go through the passage ahead of us.
