10D9N Spring Japan Trip: Meeting Hedwig, Universal Studios Japan
When you are tired or simply looking for a place to peacefully drink your Butterbeer, you can go to this open seating area which is located near the Owl Post Office. I am still waiting for the day where the Japanese is able to train owls to deliver letters. They seem to be able to do a lot of unimaginable things. Hahaha.
The Owl Post Office look somewhat messy from outside though. Hahaha.
There are real owl in front of the post office. It's so cute even though it's not Hedwig. You are not allowed to touch the owl without permission from the owl trainer though. After the short show, you can queue up for the chance to take picture with the owl.
While my friend queued for her turn to take picture with the owl (which I thought gonna take a thousand year, seriously), I ventured out to check other stores in Hogsmeade. Ahh, Dervish and Banges! I just remembered that I needed to fix my a Sneakoscope. If you are a Quidditch lover, you can buy the uniforms, Golden snitches and brooms here. Should I get myself a Firebolt? You can also get not-so-magical stationeries and journals too here.
If that's not enough, you can also go to another wizarding equipment store, Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment. You can buy some wares and supplies like crystal balls (anyone fancy learning Divination?), telescopes, binoculars, compasses, magnifying glasses and hourglasses. It also sells Hogwarts' uniforms from the four houses too.
If you are planning for a prank, you can buy Filibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start, No-Heat Fireworks, which the Weasley twins were known to use, or at least buy quite often.
Don't you feel like re-reading the whole Harry Potter series after visiting Hogsmeade in Japan? Hahaha.
