Markets and Harry Potter

Today was quite fun!
Some girls and I went to Camden Market this morning to look around. It was the first market I'd been to, but the girls I was with said that the other markets are much better. Most of the stalls were selling the same selection of t-shirts and bags at the exact same prices, so that was kind of lame. The food booths looked a little sketchy and some of the vendors were pretty pushy, but I think that might just be markets in general. It was still pretty fun to look around, though, and I did get a couple of cool things.
Wa-bam:

Harry Potter jewelry for the win. I'm very pleased.
After walking around for a bit, we decided to go to King's Cross Station, of HP fame. The line to take pictures at Platform 9 3/4 was ridiculously long, so we're probably going to go back for that later, but we did go to the cute little Harry Potter shop. The wands and scarves and things were fun to look at, but very expensive. I ended up picking up the British versions of the first three books, though.

They're so shiny! I started reading the first one, and all the minor differences are very interesting. It's really only word choices, like in the British version, the word baby Dudley learns is "Shan't" rather than "Won't," so it's nothing major, but I still enjoy it. I'm very happy with all my purchases today. I really want to get all of the HP books eventually, but that's a lot of weight and suitcase space, so I'm still debating that with myself.
Anyhow, after we got back, we watched the first Harry Potter movie. It was really, really weird, but cool to be watching HP in England. The streets that Harry and Hagrid walk down in London look very familiar now, not because I've seen the exact ones, but just because I'm more familiar with how London looks. It was very fun.
Anyhow, we're going to go get crepes in a few minutes so I'm going to be done. Until next time!
