Theme parks can turn even the most normal day into something magical.

This man visited Universal Orlando dressed in full Harry Potter attire.

Naturally, people immediately assumed he worked there.

So he received a lot of questions, direction inquiries, and, of course, tons and tons of photo requests.

Mistaken for a theme park mascot, and it was all my fault.

I went to Universal Orlando a couple of days after they opened the Harry Potter expansion, Diagon Alley, in costume.

I wore the whole shebang: wand, robe, old-fashioned backpack, tie, dress shirt, and pants.

No one in their right mind would wear such a getup in the middle of summer in central Florida.

Well, unless they were being paid to.

Clearly that excludes me.

This man could easily be mistaken for an employee working in the theme park.

The employees actually wear the theme, too, but less so.

If you’re in costume yourself, they do play along.

It’s awesome.

Note that I’m a young male in a Harry Potter costume.

I also happen to have glasses and black hair.

And he was… but he just couldn’t say no to adorable young kids asking for photos.

Needless to say, I was thought to be an employee constantly, even by other employees.

Directions, questions, complaints, you name it.

But the number of times I was stopped for photos was ungodly.

Yet when a little girl in the most adorable mini robe comes running up to you for a photo, clutching her newly purchased Ollivander wand, it becomes oh so worth it.

Let’s read the responses of other people to this story.

Short and sweet.

Lol. Get your paycheck, says this one.

+10 points indeed!

A cosplayer speaks up.

Finally, people are loving the story.

He came for the experience, but he quickly became part of the attraction.
