Things to do in Florida July 15, 16, 17, 2011

LeakyCon tops the list of things to do in Florida July 15, 16, 17, 2011. According to some reports, this Orlando based event set to coincide with the last movie in the Harry Potter series could be even bigger than the Sopchoppy Opry. It's that big. It's also a bit sad having to say farewell to Harry and his chums while watching the final shuttle mission take place at the same time, but like the tribute being payed to country music legends, George Jones and Tammy Wynette in Sopchoppy, the things that effect us most and those that move us deeply never really leave us. They are a part of us and live on in places like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the Kennedy Space Center or a even a high school auditorium echoing sounds from another historic auditorium called the Ryman. These events are but a small sample of the many things to do in Florida this July 15, 16, 17, 2011 so maybe you best go ahead and get started. You know, even with a deadline to meet, it takes some politicians,... um,... people an awfully long time to make a decision.

Hogwarts - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
