Swimming for Harry Potter


I'm not a big fan of Harry Potter. I have read only one of the the books (the first, with the kids). I thought Lord of the Rings was boring too. I just don't like the fantasy genre very much.

However, today little boy and I planned to go see the new Harry Potter movie in the theater. The movie is just released here. We found that 5000 tickets were pre-booked for the weekend, all sold out. Little boy was somewhat disappointed. What should we do?

We went to the nice waterpark we have down on the harbor, right by the quay where the big cruise ships come alongside in summer. The waterpark is indoor, otherwise it could be used only for a month in the summer. The kids love it, the diving tower, the wave pool and the tube slides. And there is a big pool for competitive swimmers of course. The parents can relax in the warm pool, with panorama windows on the sea side. It gives an illusion of swimming in the middle of the fjord.

Little boy was happy and we still have the Harry Potter movie to look forward next weekend >:)
