88. The Harry Potter Library

Day 88
Location 17: Dublin
Jan. 27, 2023

Trinity College's long hall library is a popular Dublin tourist destination.
Is it because it was the filming location of the Harry Potter feast scenes?

No. It's because it looks like the place where they filmed the Harry Potter feast scenes.


Do you understand what that means? This is the building-equivalent of a Madame Tussauds wax statue of Daniel Radcliffe.

You think "wingardium leviosa" is wizardry? No. Real magic is marketing a celebrity library lookalike to thousands of tourists every year, and profiting off it.
 
Speaking of passing things off as something they're not, at tonight's murder mystery everyone had to play a character. My character's name was Bud Jingly-Schmit and his bio was "Tourist American, suspected pug trafficker" which is obviously way off from my real life.
I smuggle french bulldogs, not pugs.

Some of the actors' voices for their respective characters were kinda racist, like Chevy Chase on the set of Community or like any white person from South Carolina or like the people in this video:
