A Close Look at a Gryffindor Sweatshirt
I recently visited Universal Orlando Resort to celebrate a
benchmark birthday. My husband and I specifically chose this park
because Diagon
Alley had finally opened and I’m an avid Harry Potter
fan. It’s a must-see for fans.
One of our four days at the park was unseasonably cold. I had brought a windbreaker for the occasional rain Orlando delivers, but wasn’t prepared for goosebumps. I could have purchased a sweatshirt or sweater at any of the multitudes of gift shops in the park (s). Nevertheless, what’s the fun in that for a true Potter Head? Warmth had to come from within a Harry Potter-themed piece of apparel.
Luckily,
the first shop in Diagon Alley is Quality Quidditch Supplies. It’s
jam-packed with—obviously—Quidditch gear of all kinds, like quaffle
balls. However, the store also carries apparel. Since
this isn’t typically a cold season, there weren’t many choices within a price
range I’m comfortable. The jackets and sweaters ($85) were
especially pricy but of excellent quality.
A Welcoming Young Lady Eases us Into a Purchase.
The
associate we latched onto was a lovely young lady named Alyssa S. We
chatted for quite some time even though the store was busy. There
were plenty of other associates to assist other shoppers, so no one was waiting
unnecessarily. We felt quite welcome and comfortable due to Alyssa’s
warm demeanor. Therefore,
even though the prices were a bit excessive, I decided to purchase a
sweatshirt--I typically live in them during the winter.
Alyssa and American Express Save us Money.
Not
to imply that Alyssa pressured us into a
purchase. No. Actually, she saved us
money. She informed us of an American
Express discount. Those who have the card and mention “American
Express mobile app” can receive a 10% off purchases of $50 or more.
Because of Alyssa’s demeanor and kindness, we will shop at Quality Quidditch Supplies each time we visit this park.
Was it Worth the Price?
This
sweatshirt is medium quality, made of 60% cotton and 40% polyester—very warm
and appears as if it is fleece lined. I typically pay around $25-$30
for this quality. However, this isn’t just a sweatshirt. It
is also memorabilia. It is something to help me remember my trip every
time I wear it. In my opinion, the Gryffindor patch and embroidered
letters are beautiful and well applied, making this sweatshirt a meaningful
purchase. I love it and will wear it all winter.
