Stormont and HARRY POTTER


Today we had a very unique opportunity to see the Northern Ireland Parliament building, and actually meet with members of Parliament in various parties. Some people even got to ask them questions about policy and their opinions, which was really neat. After that, we went to go see the last Harry Potter on opening night in Northern Ireland, which is technically part of the UK, so that was cool! It was a lot different than I expected, honestly. Because Harry Potter is such a big deal in the US, I was expecting it to be much bigger in the UK. I was super worried that we only got to the theater around 10:30PM, expecting we would probably not be able to get good seats at all. Very surprisingly, the movie was not sold out at all! In addition, we had all dressed up as various Harry Potter characters, and were the only ones who had! It was definitely not what I had expected, however the movie was excellent. 

All dressed up for the movie!
