We heard The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Hollywood employees didn't take the name "Voldemort" lightly, so we tested a few employees to see how they would react.
Lmao I remember when I was asked where voldemort’s wand was at in the shop. The man leaned on me and asked “Im sorry, who?” Then I had to say “uhh he who must not be named?” He said “ah right this way.”
It’s videos like this that cause guests to go and harass staff to get reactions. I know starting out it’s all fun and great but it’s because of videos exposing the magic and places like buzzfeed or other large social media type sites posting about the magic at all these parks that things get taken away. Big example was back in the day you could call out “ANDYS COMING!” at Disneyland to any of the Toy Story characters and they’d drop right on spot and it was so fun to watch and also a rare thing to see happen because it was such a secret (I’m a pass holder, have been for 13 years and have friends who are cast members so I was lucky to have witnessed this first hand a few times), but the second word got out about the characters doing it, Park guests did it obnoxiously and constantly and now, Disney has pulled the magical experience. I know you guys were having fun and you were very good about not being obnoxious with saying it but OTHER GUESTS won’t be and that makes me sad to think something fun and magical for HP fans like this would get pulled. **BOTTOM LINE GUYS: don’t be jerks at the parks to cast members, other guests, etc.**
I wonder what would happen if you say this to someone in Knockturn alley, or Borgin and Burkes. I would hope you would get a slightly different response since those places are a little more.. Loose on the morals.
I wonder how the characters from the park will react about hearing their enemies’ names. For example… Mystery Inc.: Dick Dastardly SpongeBob and Patrick: Plankton Gru, Margo, Edith, Agnes, and the Minions: Balthazar Bratt Optimus Prime and Bumblebee: Megatron
One time when I went I was with my friends and I said look at Voldemort’s wand and the person said be very careful with that name and my friends joke fully scolded be
I feel like they get waterboarded until voldemort turns into the worst thing on earth...oh I mean striped of their catatonic life until "the name that shall not be named" is worse than saying you like cod infinite warfare.
Compared to Stalin and the ways he tortured anyone who wasn't with him (such as putting tar over people) it makes Voldermort seem like a nice fellow. Schools tend to shy away from Stalin and you have to look him up on your own to learn his true atrocities in history that hasn't been PC'ed to death.
