| Humphrey's Tales |
June 2014 |
Let me introduce myself:
My name is Humphrey and I was born in 1993 in Flagstaff, Arizona USA.
Currently living in Cottonwood, AZ, with my Mom and Dad, by the way of Florida and Hawaii; don't ask!
Explained through my stories?
Maybe....
You'll just have to follow my tales each month. |

| I'M STILL ON VACATION |
| |
Arriving at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida the first 'must see' in
the park was The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
|
 |
I rode the Hogwarts Express
train dressed as Harry Potter so I could experience some
of his
same adventures.
|
I asked the train conductor to direct me to the wand shop because I really
was excited to purchase a replica of Harry's magic wand.
Who knows what kind of
magic awaits around every corner once I own the wand.
|
|
 |
Travelling the small streets searching for those magical wands was the same
as walking through a maze, but finally there was the shop.
I opened the squeaky door and walked inside to see a selection of wands on
shelves that were stacked to the ceiling.
|
The wand boxes had a name on them pertaining to each character.
I looked at the boxes until
I found one that said 'Harry Potter.' I opened the box to be sure the wand was correct and I think some magic dust came out and floated up to the ceiling.
I took the box and walked to the counter to pay for my selection and one of Harry's friends asked me why I was in the shop instead of attending wizard class.
I had to confess! I told her my name was Humphrey not Harry!

 |
After buying my wand and some special Harry Potter postcards, I sat down at
a table to write to a few friends.
The girl at the desk canceled the stamps with
an 'owl' postmark.
When I put the cards in the mail slot, owls from every
direction appeared and feathers were flying everywhere.
The owls were there to deliver
each card that was being mailed.
|
After their departure, I looked like a white owl myself, only I couldn't fly.
Those owl feathers stuck like glue to my fur! |
 |
Now was the time to see if Harry was in class, so I walked past all the
shops until I made my way to Hogwarts School.
The school resembled a castle
and ready to explore.
Of course I got lost inside and being where I shouldn't
be!
Harry wasn't in school, but because of my disguise, I sat in on a class
called 'Knowing Your Wand' - I can't wait to practice.
|
 |
| After leaving the school's grounds I saw a sign saying 'Take A Peek'.
That was enough for my curiosity. I followed the directional arrows to a construction site.
Construction crews were building an addition called 'Diagon Alley' which will open this Summer.
I heard from a good source that inside of the structure will be a dragon roller coaster.
I'm buying my ticket now! |
| |
|
Before leaving the park, I went to Honeydukes, a candy shop filled with sweets from floor to
ceiling.
|
|
|
|
I bought Chocolate Frogs! |
|
|
As the sun was setting I said goodbye to Harry and the park. Tomorrow will be another day of adventures still yet
to be experienced.
Going to bed, my wand was beside me as I fluffed my pillow and pulled up my covers.
After my night light is turned off, I'm sure I will see a glow from my wand, letting me know that 'Magic Happens - Just Believe!
I did practice my wand lesson under the covers - bad idea!
I woke up the next morning with warts on my face OR was this a reaction to all the chocolate frogs I ate?
Next issue . . . Back to Universal Studios for 'must see too' The
Minions
