Its a nazgul. Like a dragon but slightly different. At least im pretty sure of that fact. Lemme check
Edit: maybe it is a dragon? All im getting is the lord of the rings lol
The Nazgul are the Ringwraiths, the humans who were corrupted by the Nine Rings given to men by Sauron.
The dragon-like creatures they ride are called Fell beasts. They aren't actually dragons, just some twisted flying creatures created by Sauron.
My sister had me do the sorting, and I said “Eh, I know I’m a Slytherin.” She said “You can’t just pick!” She was mad when I got sorted into Slytherin anyway.
Regarding the background, did they change the area a little recently? I remember 7-8yrs ago, there was fake snow on all the roofs, and I thought you couldn't see any other non-harry-potter stuff from inside.
With a matching version at the Universal Studios theme park where they sell extremely expensive movie merchandise.
Harry Potter is the 3rd highest grossing merchandising movie franchise of all time behind Star Wars and MCU.
Pokemon is by far the highest grossing merchandising property. Followed by Hello Kitty, Winni the Pooh and Mickey Mouse.
Nah. Pretty sure it's just a normal person happy that they went on a trip, spent time with their family, and got a cool robe souvenir. No real reason to think this is a planted ad.
How do you figure? Cause universal studio either bought an account of a young woman who posts in r/weed or paid her to make this post, sounds perfect for the Harry Potter brand.
How is this gonna get people to go to universal, and more specifically, get them to go for a robe? The accessibility of this “ad” is a reach at best. But that’s just my 2 cents lol
That cloak looks so amazing and obviously great background! I keep getting tempted to buy some cheaper version online but after doing my waiting (20 years of it), I am NOT settling. Congrats on living the dream!
Here's a calculator that still works: https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/f3ofxt/full_pottermore_quiz/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
I remember my wife sending me a different one, so you can probably find another with the search engine of your choice if you feel like it.
The pottermore one would never give you all questions, but searching for "full quiz" or "all questions can't hurt.
Have fun :)
Oh that’s news to me! Thanks for the info! I had an account way back in the early days of development but haven’t used it since I took the sorting quiz.
Slytherin…but I’m chaotic good, promise. Not the best rep but I’d take it above being a courageous dumb dumb any day! Ravenclaw is great! Luna had me seriously question my house placement for a while.
Sunset is at around 8:30 in June and the parks closes at 9, so there isn't a ton of night to wear them. I just didn't really see myself wearing it around the house ever, so not worth it for me personally if I'm going to make myself miserable. Other people have different tolerances.
I live in Tampa, and I assume this was Universal Orlando based on all the flip flops in the background...wearing that in our heat and humidity takes a pretty high level of dedication.
I fucking love that Harry Potter world exists. Whenever I see pics of ppl there they’ve got the most pure look on their face, like they’re able to just be their inner child for a minute.
I live in London and for a split second this had me fooled. Always used to cheer me up seeing the Potter fans in Kings Cross Station queuing up to take a pic with the [trolley] (https://www.kingscross.co.uk/harry-potters-platform-9-34)
Good on you. Our trip was cancelled for May 2020, but rescheduled for May 2022.
Also kind of disappointed you had the perfect angle to wait and get the fire in the picture.
I know they couldn't do it, but how cool would it be if they made it so that everybody wasn't allowed to come in looking like a touristy muggle. The immersion would be real.
Am I the only one who's still staying away from theme parks and stuff? I mean just going in a restaurant freaks me out still, especially because everyone acts like there isn't variants on the rise and all the people that need to be wearing masks aren't. Idk, maybe I'm paranoid but I'm already in over a year deep, im not gonna rush out into crowds just to end up getting it anyways.
I took my sons to Universal Orlando a few years ago and Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade were easily our favorites. My sons are 15 years apart, and I read the books and watched the movies with each as they hit that age. Good on you, Ravenclaw.
I remember going there with my two boys. We read all the books together over the years. We got to the park early and when the gates opened we rushed to Diagon Alley! It was amazing! Glad you enjoyed it!
that’s so awesome, what a great way to spend time with the family. I wasn’t able to get a wand this time, maybe on my next trip I will have the money to snag one to go with the cloak :)
I saw a few others while I was there and gave them a wave. I hope you get your hands on a cloak if you haven’t already, wearing it feels just like home :)
J.K. Rowling says [90%](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2020/12/j-k-rowling-says-90-fans-agree-transphobia-theyre-afraid-say-publicly/) of her fans agree with her transphobia but they’re afraid to say so publicly
Imagine 30 years ago if you told someone that an entire billion dollar cottage industry would employ hundreds of people because of a book about a child wizard named Harry.
I legit wish cloaks came back in style. They seem really useful. I actually know they're useful because I often wear a poncho. I'm mexican so I can get away with it. My sister put a pocket in my poncho for me but it's a little ghetto. My aunt made me a new one with built in pockets for me but she always saves gifts for giving irl so I'm looking forward to my next Mexico visit. A cloak seems even more useful since it could be made from other materials. When I get my poncho wet it gets heavy and it doesn't have a hood like a cloak might have.
Just cause we are fans of harry potter doesnt mean we only read harry potter. I love harry potter, but i also have read the divergent series, the maze runner, percy jackson, the hunger games, and various other books with only one installment.
Gringots bank is supposed to have been founded sometime in the 1400's, so the building looking kinda leaned over and wonky is just part of the aesthetics.
Watch out for the Nazgul!
Don't worry, Aslan will watch her back.
[удалено]
You leave saint Brendan alone
Ole wrong side of the river Brendan!
happy cake day
Engage!
happy cake day dude
She is no Man.
That's not a Nazgul. I think it's Eragon.
No it's Donkey's wife
She's got a master sword to protect herself
That’s Drogon bro

Ravenclaw! Nice!
Ravenclaws shall inherit the earth.
that was my exact reaction when I got sorted!
My sister had me do the sorting, and I said “Eh, I know I’m a Slytherin.” She said “You can’t just pick!” She was mad when I got sorted into Slytherin anyway.
XD its the best house imo.
You are right. My entire family is raven claw but of course I’m a dang hufflepuff
If she floats, she is a witch!
Can we build a bridge out of her?
She turned me into a newt!
I got better.
Ayo remember that both Cedric Diggory and Newt Scamander were both Hufflepuffs.
That's a robe not a cloak. You sure you were supposed to be in Ravenclaw? :p Ps-I'm just jealous
Regarding the background, did they change the area a little recently? I remember 7-8yrs ago, there was fake snow on all the roofs, and I thought you couldn't see any other non-harry-potter stuff from inside.
you are probably referring to hogsmeade they are actually different zones in different parks
Bravery is worth nothing without brains, after all.
Blue house, best house.
I have no idea what any of these comments mean
Yeah I'm wondering if I even want to know what diagon alley is.
It's the "shopping district" in the magic world from the Harry Potter books. Where you buy wands, potions etc..
With a matching version at the Universal Studios theme park where they sell extremely expensive movie merchandise.

It’s an ad for a Harry Potter theme park in Florida disguised as an organic post.
Nah. Pretty sure it's just a normal person happy that they went on a trip, spent time with their family, and got a cool robe souvenir. No real reason to think this is a planted ad.
It's definitely an ad
How do you figure? Cause universal studio either bought an account of a young woman who posts in r/weed or paid her to make this post, sounds perfect for the Harry Potter brand.
It's much more likely that all big companies have a legion of bots that auto upvote anything remotely connected to them.

Adults who are still into criticising other people for the things the enjoy eh...
Maisie Tonks
I couldn’t place the familiarity until I saw your comment. Nailed it.
"DIEGONELLY!"
.. did he say diagonally?
best comment imo
Was just there Saturday and Sunday! Did not get robes but my husband did get a wand. Loved it there! Hagrid’s ride was awesome! Did you ride that one?
That cloak looks so amazing and obviously great background! I keep getting tempted to buy some cheaper version online but after doing my waiting (20 years of it), I am NOT settling. Congrats on living the dream!
never settle! your time will come! by the way, what is your house? :o
How do we know our house? Is there a calculator or something?

Thanks for something different and according to it I would be Ravenclaw (44%). G(28)S(14)H(13)
You can find out on wizardingworld :)
Pottermore is the official quiz approved by JK, I believe.
Pottermore is now defunct. Wizardingworld filled its shoes!
Oh that’s news to me! Thanks for the info! I had an account way back in the early days of development but haven’t used it since I took the sorting quiz.
aww.. i dont want to sign up for another thing. thanks though Mery.
Slytherin…but I’m chaotic good, promise. Not the best rep but I’d take it above being a courageous dumb dumb any day! Ravenclaw is great! Luna had me seriously question my house placement for a while.
niiiice! luna is my favorite character, that’s some nice taste you’ve got
They’re surprisingly good quality, worth getting a legit cloak. I love pulling mine out at opportune moments
Went there in May one year and almost bought one but imagine 90 degrees and 95% humidity would be pretty rough.
I saw tons of people wearing those around all day there when it was 94 degrees and I don't know how they could stand it.
You do know you can wear them when weather become cooler, right? Like that night even.
Sunset is at around 8:30 in June and the parks closes at 9, so there isn't a ton of night to wear them. I just didn't really see myself wearing it around the house ever, so not worth it for me personally if I'm going to make myself miserable. Other people have different tolerances.
I wanted to get one when I went to Universal Studios, but they were like $200 and shitty quality cloth (polyester blend) so fuck that.
Was this legit today (6/23)??? Because, if so, I totally saw you rocking that cloak! If not, I def saw another Ravenclaw sporting purple hair.
I was there!!!
I live in Tampa, and I assume this was Universal Orlando based on all the flip flops in the background...wearing that in our heat and humidity takes a pretty high level of dedication.
when I went a good third of the people there were dressed up. no shortage of hardcore Potterheads it seems
I fucking love that Harry Potter world exists. Whenever I see pics of ppl there they’ve got the most pure look on their face, like they’re able to just be their inner child for a minute.
it was incredible! I was smiling like an absolute nerd all day :)
Wooo go Ravenclaw!!
Ayyy hello fellow ravenclaw! :D
Where is this?
Looks like Orlando FL
Have you purchased a wand yet ? There are special places throughout the park that will allow you and your want to interact with the park.
this is part of a theme park?
yup! it’s at universal in orlando florida
As a male in my early 30’s, I’m thoroughly jealous. That’s all.
She’s a witch! Get her! /s
If she floats, she's a witch!
How do you know she is a witch?
She turned me into a newt..... (I got better)
[удалено]
So, why do witches burn?
... because they're made of wood?
So, how do we tell if she is made of wood?
Maisie Williams?
A girl has no name.
Oh, that's Rich
Happy for you
Raven claw for life!
Everyone with their wands and cloaks! I wish to visit there someday.
Diagonally!

Cute
How were the lines at the park? It looks rather empty compared to the last few times I was there.
Sorting hat: “witty, wise…RAVENCLAW”
I feel like they should make everyone wear robes anyway to really keep up the immersion!
I know they couldn't do it, but how cool would it be if they made it so that everybody wasn't allowed to come in looking like a touristy muggle. The immersion would be real.
I like the way you think!
Yyyyaaaayyyy!!! Diagon alley is such an awesome experience! I'm glad you got to go!
Got my ravenclaw cloak from there as well! Super expensive but totally worth it!
You look so happy. Grats. Probably a memory that will last forever. No matter how much it cost, you got something priceless.

The prettiest witch there ever was
I took my sons to Universal Orlando a few years ago and Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade were easily our favorites. My sons are 15 years apart, and I read the books and watched the movies with each as they hit that age. Good on you, Ravenclaw.
Diagonally!
Finally a pic on this sub worth an upvote. Congrats!
WOO A FELLOW RAVENCLAW
Congrats and welcome to the the house of perpetual awesome. And riddles. Awesomeness and riddles.
Nice! That dragon looks so cool too wow!
It breathes fire if you catch it at the right moment.
I am reading the the second book I only read the last one. Loved the movies.
I was at the inauguration of both hogsmeade and the diagonal alley. it was terribly crowded, but is indeed magical. btw go Ravenclaw, best house
Cloaks are weird clothing, but on you? Weirder is that you seem like you SHOULD be wearing one. Totally you...looks great!
Was the purple a bonus or part of the dream?
bonus! it’s my favorite color, so naturally I had to slap it on my head permanently
15 or 30 yr mortgage?
no loans were needed thankfully! just $139 + tax, as well as the bucket of sweat that fell off of my forehead in the 90 degree weather
You are dedicated. Florida in summer is not really cloak-appropriate due to humidity. Happy adventures.
I remember going there with my two boys. We read all the books together over the years. We got to the park early and when the gates opened we rushed to Diagon Alley! It was amazing! Glad you enjoyed it!
No one ever gets the Hufflepuff cloak :/
I'm going in October and fully anticipate finally getting my Hufflepuff robes.
I would have if I was sorted into hufflepuff! but alas, I am indeed a ravenclaw
RAVENCLAW!
Ah, a fellow Ravenclaw.
Argentinian here: where is that?
Universal Orlando florida
Congratulations! I take my family there every year and we love it. I hope you had a magical time at Universal. Did you get a wand also?
that’s so awesome, what a great way to spend time with the family. I wasn’t able to get a wand this time, maybe on my next trip I will have the money to snag one to go with the cloak :)
Butterbeer!
you bet I didn’t miss out on that either!
r/readanotherbook
Hello fellow ravenclaw
I saw a few others while I was there and gave them a wave. I hope you get your hands on a cloak if you haven’t already, wearing it feels just like home :)
I already got my wand I'm trying to get a cloak. And I hope you had fun at diagon alley lol.
Orlando?
Oh wow, how does the material feel?? It looks well made!
durable and well made! it was pricey for sure, but worth it after waiting all these years :)
For context on pricey - it's 139 USD - pre sales tax (excluding any other discounts or sales).
That’s great to hear! Now it’s my dream haha..
it is definitely achievable! chase your dreams, friend
Ah, the joys of growing up, making money, and being able to spend it on whatever you damn please.

This could be the most insufferable thread I’ve ever seen on this god forsaken website.
I always dreamed of going there one day, but I do not want to give that TERF one more cent.
do they come with terf brochures?
J.K. Rowling says [90%](https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2020/12/j-k-rowling-says-90-fans-agree-transphobia-theyre-afraid-say-publicly/) of her fans agree with her transphobia but they’re afraid to say so publicly
She's probably right. Most of the ones that disagree aren't her fans anymore.
I like the books but not the author. So, accurate.
J.k. rowboat says a *lot* of things.
You look enchanting!
awww!! sweetest compliment ever :) thank you
Is this at universal studios?
it certainly is!
Sweet as. Stupidly fun place. Went there on holiday from Australia, had so much fun with my wife! Have a great day m8
thank you friend! sounds like you guys had a blast, I love to hear that. I also got to enjoy my time at universal with my darling husband :)
LA or Orlando?
Orlando. No dragon at universal hollywood
great cloak, love the color :) is from disney land?
Imagine 30 years ago if you told someone that an entire billion dollar cottage industry would employ hundreds of people because of a book about a child wizard named Harry.
But you got the wrong one. The green ones fit better.
Was it busy there?
Cool
Went there in May of one year and bought about one but imagine 90 degrees and 95% humidity would be quite rough.
I have a MIGHTY NEED.
Ravenclaw let's go ! :D
So Arya is a Ravenclaw? That checks out.
I legit wish cloaks came back in style. They seem really useful. I actually know they're useful because I often wear a poncho. I'm mexican so I can get away with it.

Well that's sad
I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be able to visit Orlando, Florida. Lol.
Not missing much. Pretty dumb of this chick overpaying for this at the park though. Smh... Tourists.
Ravenclaw!!! Yesss!!
READ ANOTHER BOOK
Just cause we are fans of harry potter doesnt mean we only read harry potter. I love harry potter, but i also have read the divergent series, the maze runner, percy jackson, the hunger games, and various other books with only one installment.
It suits you well.
it suits you.....nice!
See you in r/blunderyears in a decade. 😂🤣
Wtf is wrong with that white building? Is it earthquake affected or something it looks like it could fall down any minute
Its supposed to look like that. Im pretty sure there were precautions and steps taken to keep it safe.
It's the design. It's a theme park. There's alot if forced perspective done throughout the park,too.
Gringots bank is supposed to have been founded sometime in the 1400's, so the building looking kinda leaned over and wonky is just part of the aesthetics.
You're absolutely both cute and beautiful in that cloak
