As I was walking down the street I noticed many interesting qualities of the buildings that surrounded me, each individual building came to a point with little windows in the top and the slanted roofs were covered in the perfect amount of snow. As I passed a large red wagon that read, "BUTTERBEER" I knew exactly where I was; "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter." This was a place I had always longed to go to and had much anticipated the magic that lied within it 's small perimeter. After I tried butterbeer, a favorite drink of the characters in the Harry Potter series, I spun around in surprise to see the Hogwarts Express steaming in all of it 's glory.

There was a line that wrapped all around the building and around the next, so we knew that something good had to be inside. Waiting in line my brother and I were trying to figure out what was happening inside by peeking through the windows and talking to the people around us. The young couple behind us said that there was some type of show that went on inside and that was why it was taking so long.

The man finally turned around and we saw his face and long beard for the first time. He looked directly at me and said "Ah yes, I have been waiting for you. Welcome to Ollivanders, I am the wand keeper." He went on to ask me my name and he told me that he already knew that this was my first wand because he simply didn 't recognize me. "The wand chooses the wizard Miss Katie but it is not always clear why" was what he emphasized as he climbed up the staircase and chose a box at the very top of the shelves. He handed me a wand and told me the spell to try out to move one of the boxes he had on his desk. "Wingardium Leviosa" I yelled as a whole row of boxes flew off their shelves. That wand and the next 2 that I tried clearly weren 't for me. The wand keeper seemed stumped until he said "I wonder…" and picked out a box behind where the rest of the people in the room were standing. He carefully placed the wand in my hand and a gust of wind flew past me as music started to lightly play in the background. "My dear
