<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\nPersonally, I like the design much better than the aesthetic of the movie merchandise, and my friend and I greatly appreciate that the prices for the goods are not as steep (though not as extensive of a selection too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re on a budget, don’t worry because you get a freebie pin to remind you to #KeepTheSecrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exploring Melbourne<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Another great advantage of staying in the Melbourne CBD is that you can take advantage of the Free Tram Zone. We were able to travel from our Airbnb to the theatre without having to pay for our tram ride! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to explore further though, you need to have a myki card. You can buy them at major train stations, myki machines, or retailers like 7-11. The card itself costs AU$6 each, and you need to top-up the card to cover your fares. The daily fare is AU$8.80 on weekdays, and $6.40 on weekeends. If you are only traveling within a 2-hour period, only AU$4.40 will be deducted from your card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what else can you do in Melbourne? Within the CBD, you can check out the exhibits at the National Gallery of Victoria (it’s just a short walk from Flinders Station, save your fare!), marvel at the La Trobe reading room inside the State Library, take that cliche Instagram shot with Melbourne street art at Hosier Lane, and have high tea at Hopetoun Tea Rooms inside The Block Arcade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the CBD, you can compare the croissants of Agathe inside the South Melbourne Market and Lune in Fitzroy (they also have a CBD branch, but it’s closed on weekends), watch a movie at the beautiful art deco Sun Theatre in Yarraville, take that cliche Instagram shot with the Brighton Beach bathing houses, take a scenic ride aboard the Puffing Billy steam train, or ride a hot air balloon over Melbourne (or the Yarra valley vineyards).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope this helps you plan for your trip to watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Part One and Part Two! If you have any questions or want to share all your ~feelings~ <\/strong>about this play, just post them in the comments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I love the Harry Potter series, and I am always looking forward to new and exciting things that author J.K. Rowling comes up with.
