Okay. I haven't finished the video yet. But I just wanted to say, Peter, your videos bring me so much joy. As someone who lives over 1,500 miles away from Orlando, and furthermore doesn't have the money to make a trip like that to Universal just yet, I want to thank you for being so dedicated to the Harry Potter community and making so many of these videos. You do them in such a way as I sometimes feel as though I'm really there with you. And even if it's only for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, it brings me joy and happiness to experience something that I otherwise would not be able to. My only complaint is that eventually the video ends and I have to come back to reality and realize I'm not really there. But again, I thank you. It looks like the experience was amazing and I'm so glad you shared it all with us. Now I'll go back and finish Hagrids Magical Creatures lesson. ⚡😁 #ProudSlytherin 🐍⚡
