I'm not sure about that, Dev. My disagreement is rooted in the observation that these companies often lay off their lower-level employees while their top executives continue to receive high salaries, even during difficult financial times that affect everyone else. It seems unfair that those in positions of power are not willing to share in the company's financial burdens by accepting lower salaries for a year or two, while the little guy is left to bear the brunt of the cuts.

My favorite Harry Potter character is Sirius Black. Best quote "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals". I thought he was the pivotal moral character of the entire series.

I remember when my friend and I used to write Sirius Black Fanfic. He was one of the more intriguing characters.

​@@a.y.greyson9264 I agree. The prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book also out of the entire series. You basically had an entire book dedicated to the introduction of a new character.

@@keithwillis3761 Honestly, after reading the third book and waiting for the fourth one to come out, I was sure it couldn’t get any better. Sirius Black was such an intriguing character. However, my favorite book is GOF, as the whole Mad Eye Moody reveal caught me off guard.

i find it ironic that an entertainment company's first budget cut is always entertainment...

I'm sure there's a lot that goes into the decisions. How many interactions these performers are creating, how long they're lasting, etc. I hate to see anyone lose their job, but I have faith that universal is offering them positions somewhere else within the parks. I've never interacted with the cab fella or the port of entry folks. I'm walking right past them to get to where I'm going

As for the budget cuts....I think people are more upset with Universal than they were with Disney, is people expect better from Universal.

Thanks Dev for hosting such a fun giveaway! Luna Lovegood is our favorite!!!! My daughter dressed up as her for Book Character Day at school 😍 🧙‍♀️. Love the channel, and your candid honesty, as always!

I understand that Dev has a good working relationship with Universal so I see the need to “defend” the budget cuts but I totally disagree with his stance that nobody was up in arms and not making a big deal when Disney had their (multiple) budget cuts a couple years ago. I heard ALOT of people speaking up against that, if I heard it I find it hard to believe that Dev did not hear the same outcry of people when it happened. But again I get the motivation behind the defense.

There's a good amount of people who hate disney with a passion. There are hate channels dedicated to making anti disney content. So I'm not sure why he's saying that people aren't blasting disney for what they do.

He's become so pro Universal and anti Disney. When I started watching his videos he was very objective when going to both parks. So seeing him brush off the cost of going to Universal in this video after the last Disney video he did, where he said he is not renewing his annual pass due to increased prices, it's clear he is now biased.

@@jarviswomack5579 I’m curious if all things stay the same and when Epic Universe opens, and Universal raises the prices on everything what the defenses will be…

I love that you're doing more Universal content, Dev. They've really won me over from Disney, and that's saying a lot since I've been a Disney fan from birth, but it's great to see the investments they're making. Universal also does a great job helping out parents with neurodiverse kiddos... something that doesn't get a lot of coverage, but means a lot to some of us.

My favorite HP character is actually Prof Trelawny. “My dear boy! You have.. THE GRIMM!”

Great job, sir, as always. And I totally agree with your commentary. It always is sad to see employees lose jobs, but as you point out just look at the opportunities that Universal will be bringing to the area within the next 12 months or so. Give the organization credit for what its future plans are.

It was better in 2019 except for velocicoaster and Hagrid. They are having staffing problems.

Dumbledore is my favorite. “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”

Luna Lovegood is my favorite character! She's definitely got the same energy as me most days 😂 "I think I'll just go down and have some pudding and wait for it all to turn up - it always does in the end." - LL❤

The Kong vs Godzilla ride must be an intense outdoor roller coaster with twist and turns!😊

My husband can't wait till we go in September. All he says is ,"when are we gonna see Harry Potter?"! Booking The Hard Rock hotel for the last week of September. What a great way to retire!! Looking forward to returning to Universal. Thanks for updates.

My favorite HP character is Mrs. Molly Weasley! Especially since becoming a mother myself. Her love and protection of her children is admirable. She took Harry under her wing with her hands already full. I mean, the iconic battle scene and line with Bellatrix?! Need I say more…

She kicks butt! ❤

Thanks for letting me live Universal Orlando vicariously through your channel. ☺️ My favorite Harry Potter character is Hagrid.

My favorite character is Professor McGonagall. She’s got some sass I can appreciate. 😂

I really like your content, new to your channel. My favorite characters,yes 2, was the twins, I loved how they opened up a knic knack and trick shop.

Hi Devon, We are the family from Germany who got to meet you while you were filming the Honeydukes part of your vlog. Thank you for the nice chat. Our daughter is a huge Bellatrix fan. We thoroughly enjoy watching your vlogs. It always gets us in the mood to go back to Florida asap.

I am loving your Universal content! My fave HP character is Hagrid. I love seeing him while in the Hagrid Magical Bike coaster.

I love so many characters but Luna is close to my heart since we both are a little odd!! I love watching your videos! Thanks for keeping us up to date & showing us all the best of Universal!!

Love your videos, I’m jealous!!! My favorite character is Hermione, and the reason is for the first 3 books I was pronouncing her name “Hermy-one” the first time I heard it out loud I was so glad I had never read or said it out loud, thanks for all your content, Karren

Hey Dev! Keep up the great videos. My family and I booked our trip this year to Universal Orlando because of your videos! We are so excited ! 😁 My favorite character is Hagrid!

I'm only mad about The cabbie. Lol

My daughter says her favorites are Draco and Hermione! My favorite is Harry but I also like McGonagall. We’ve been listening to the books so now we need to go look at all the details in Hogesmeade. Thanks for doing this video- we enjoyed it!

Thanks for the update! My favorite character is Severus Snape. His character is so complex and the plot twist at the end about how he was always protecing Harry and how he loved Lily was very endearing.

Hagrid is my favorite! I love these videos because you're showing the reality of the pricing and anything new you find! I bought the 1 day 2 free ticket earlier in the year and still have one day left where we were hoping to get my 9 year old her first wand💚

My favorite character is Remus Lupin. 😊 It’s just something about the calm way he spoke.

Hello Dev... My favorite character from Harry Potter is Hagrid..... R.I.P. we miss you!

Great Video, Dev! Super stoked. We are going to be there for our first visit in a little over 3 weeks!! 😎 for now, I’m soaking up allll the Universal tips and tricks that I can 😁

Always love your videos Dev! I 10000% understand that feeling, I get that feeling when I walk into city walk and walking in to each universal park, it’s just magic! My favourite character has got to be Molly, she just so wonderful, a loving mother, warm, friendly and caring witch and she’s very underestimated ❤️

I love Luna, but my favorite character is Dobby! I mean how can you not love him 😂

We are so excited to be at Universal in 11 days. My favorite Harry Potter character is Hagrid.

I love your content. I am glad someone else has the same opinion as I do about Disney. Prices are going up everywhere on everything. Ty again for all you do

Coming from an entertainment background, I do agree with you Dev. It is sooooo unfortunate, that the entertainers are being let go, but that is part of the life. When the new park opens there will be a big need for entertainers again. Love your content! Have you ever done a staycation at the Drury Plaza hotel? I had some relatives that stayed there and raved about it. It is close to Disney and has transportation to the parks as well as lots of other amenities within the hotel itself. Also love your cruise vlogs. Looking forward to your next staycations!

Hey Dev, sorry to disagree with you. But the budget cuts are not cool. And it's not just the talent. A lot of what separated Disney and kept them in front of the pack was the impeccable condition of their parks. I remember my last trip before we moved here. I went back home and told friends and family "Yeah it's expensive. But when you get there and take a look around, you see were your money went. Dumbo looks like it was built yesterday." Disney has been failing on that. And people have noticed and paid attention with their wallets. This is the perfect time for USO to pick up the torch and run with it. Not make excuses of why they need to cut not just talent, but maintenance. Just my two cents.

Luna Lovegood is my favorite! Ravenclaw is the best!

Hi Dev, we are really loving all you videos, Universal and your cruises with Bianca. Completely agree with you regarding cuts and people losing their job. That’s not good. Our favourite character is good old Ron. All the best and looking forward to the next one. Cheers Dave & Sue Perry in Worcestershire UK

Love your videos - thanks for all the tips and insights. So hard to think of a favorite character because they're all wonderful, but Luna speaks to my heart.

Love how Dev throws his shots at his fellow creators in the most polite way possible without saying names and we all know who he is talking about lol. My favorite HP character will always been Ron.

Disney bad, Hogwarts good. All about mad eye moody here.

We love your content and have been watching for several years, all the way back to Prince Charming Dev and shortly after you started. I love you concentrating on Universal often! It drives me nuts to see so many people so brainwashed about Disney. Luna Lovegood is my favorite character! I love how mysterious she is and always so positive about life. She shows so much kindness to characters in the movie. It would be nice if people in the world could show this kindness!

Hey Dev. Love your videos! I think its so cool that you do giveaways like this for your followers. And my favorite Harry Potter character has to be Sirius Black. Look forward to the next video.

Dev, i love your videos and content. You state your true feelings on things. You and Bianca are great! Keep having fun and keep up the great work!

What a fun visit!!!!Thanks for taking me along😎I am a FL resident, but sadly, haven’t been able to visit Hogs-Meade as my hubby became disabled, so life has changed ALOT🥴I used to miss Disney as I’ve gone since 1971, but the things they have done to price families out, sickens me!!! I watch you as I live vicariously and you take me along your visits and other places you go to 👍 SOooo I just re-watch the movies. I LOVE💜 Luna Lovegood💜at least I have the movies to visit Hogs-mead! Best to you and your family❤️💙💚🩵

I love Luna Lovegood, so it's really cool you felt drawn to her wand this time! Ironically, though, it's not the wand I bought when I was there last month. I wanted one that wasn't a character wand and went with one of those instead! Happy to see you enjoying doing the magic, too!!

Dev, Thank you so much for sharing the interactive windows. As many times as I have been there I have never seen any except for the one over the bathrooms with water if it is still there. My favorite character is Dobby - he is too cute not to love. Thanks always for the great video.

Came across your channel while preparing for our trip to universal studios next week! Thanks for all the great content!

I am taking my grandchildren in June. It is a first trip for all of us. I find your videos very educational. Thank you for doing these. Professor Snape is definitely my favorite!!

I love Luna Lovegood, also, whenever I go to hogsmeade or diagon alley I set my budget to around $100-150 such a great land! another great video dev! :D

Thank you for sharing all of your fun with us! My family is headed to Universal in May and we can't wait! My favorite character has to be Harry Potter himself! Thank you for the videos!😊

Its great that you are going to the park and then getting something to give away. Ive been watching utube for a long time and give aways are a newsurprise ive only seen a few times. I especially like it because i have never been to that park. I live in Oregon so California is where we go fir parks. Ive only found your channel recently and i really love it. You have a nice soothing voice to listen to. I am going to be going on my first cruise soon and ive gotten lots of good advice.

Long time follower here! Thanks for the continuous universal feed; I wish I lived closer to go more often! My fav HP character is Luna Lovegood!! Keep up the amazing work 🎉❤

My favorite HP character definitely Neville Longbottom. He’s got such a great redemption arc story . From being bullied ,not believing in himself , and “ why is it always me “ to a hero that helps kill Voldemort.

Loving the Universal coverage from Nebraska! ❤. My daughter works at Velocicoaster and love to watch since I can’t be there very often! Professor Snape and Luna are my favorite characters but love everything Potter!!

Thanks for doing these videos. I love to watch people walking through Universal and more specifically Harry Potter world. I can’t wait to go back there. My favorite Harry Potter character is Snape.

I love that you're doing more Universal content!! 🎉🎉 I also love that you're in the HP area! My fave character just might be Snape! 😊

Thanks Dev for bringing us along. Favorite of mine is Remus!

Thanks for including the wand experience. I've been to Universal many times, but have never done that. I'll have to check it out in person next time. Thanks for all your great videos!!

I appreciate you doing more Universal content and also that you explained to people why budget cuts are sometimes needed. My favorite HP characters are Fred and George.

I have been a Disney AP for many years and used to have both passes. Universal owes you a big thanks because watching your video just made my decision very easy to go ahead and add an annual pass so we can mix it up. Very excited. Thank you and thank you for your service.

Hi Dev! We live watching you and Bianca. Love the window into your lives that you give us!!

My favorite HP character is the Whomping Willow! 😂 That tree has a sense of humor.

Hey Dev, enjoy your videos, especially when you’re in my neck of the woods like you were recently at Dollywood. My favorite HP character has got to be Professor Snape. Cheers!

Love your content! Its getting us excited for our trip in 3 weeks!!! I have a question... What's the parks like in early may? We're going on the 7th but have no clue what its gonna be like.. Also idk if anyone is the same but I've been watching park videos for a year everyday now because I love Universal so much, also travel videos are my favorite as it gets me so excited 🤩

I am feeling lonely 🎶 bro that little intro music you used to have is SO nostalgic for me. So much has changed in the last 5 years with everybody and the entire world it’s crazy man.

So fun. Me and my family spent sooo much time in this HP area. This area is what separates Universal and Disney. They did an unbelievable job here.

Love your videos. I would say I'm a huge Hermione fan!!

My favorite wizard is moma Weasley. Her force love for her family is something I admire and live by. Thanks for all you do love your videos and your honest opinions of things

My daughter Layla is obsessed with Harry Potter right now. I love that it came back around full circle. She is five years old and going to be six in July. She loves Harry Potter. I love Hermione Granger. I’ve been following you for so long and I love all your videos. Keep it up.

Thank you Dev for always giving us great content in your vlogs! What makes my husband and I fans is because how authentic you are! We always like seeing your fiancé on with you also. My favorite character is Harry! Have a great day!💕

Hey Dev! Great video as usual. I would say my favorite character is Professor Snape. He is such a conflicted character but is a good guy in the end.

Like with so many others, Luna resonates with me (I’m just a little odd). And thank you. I am so happy to have found your channel. My husband and I will be heading to Universal Orlando for the very first time in Sept. I know now to budget for a wand so I can cast my spells.

I love your vlogs, always so informative and getting us all the info we need ! My favorite character is one and only severus Snape!!!

Hermione is my favorite!! & I love your positivity!! We head back to the parks this weekend from Kentucky -- now I can’t wait to try the caramels 😄

Looks fun I haven’t been there for a few years. I hope to go there in the Fall as I live in Ocala FL and love watching your channel.

Stay cool ...love your videos entertaining and learning something new too! Thanks!

Headed to Universal Tuesday! Looking forward to some warm weather ☀️ so many characters to choose from I think my favorite is Hermoine!

My faviorite character is Luna Lovegood because she is so unique.I am going to Univeral studios in Florida for the first time in August.I can't wait! Love your videos.

Thanks for another great video! Great choice of wand too, thanks for giving back to the community - looking forward to more videos, and fingers crossed for the wand too :-).

My favorite character is Hagrid and I am looking forward to riding the ride for the first time with my family in early May. I appreciate you and your videos and look forward to more Universal content. Thank you.

Always a good time watching your videos! I must say that it's hard to choose only one character hahahaha but choosing now it would be Hagrid. He's big and strong in body and heart. His loyalty to his friends and love for creatures is something that resonates with me.

Just went to Universal this past weekend. Your previous video to Universal help my family planned our day. My favorite Harry Potter character is actually Rubeus Hagrid. You and Bianca continue to make these amazing videos. I am planning to do Discovery Cove in September.

Snape is currently my favorite. Only because He is such a sad and dreadful character but how he loved Harry's mom and how he was so conflicted. Anyway. Thanks for the UO content! Hope all is well!

Love this video! Luna is my absolute favorite character in the series. As wonderfully as she is portrayed in the movies, the book Luna is just incredible. And her wand is beautiful. ❤

What fun!! Thank you for this HP Universal video 🪄🪄 Been on the HP bandwagon since the first book, when I was a Children’s book store manager! Thank you for all your videos…🎦🎥🎞

When you were calling out the different wands I was like I would get the Luna Lovegood wand and you picked it! My favorite character is Ron Weasley.

My fav Harry Potter character is Lupin, I still remember the first time I saw him transform into a werewolf, so awesome. Been enjoying the videos. Best wishes to you and the fam! Stay safe out there!

Honestly, Luna is my favorite character. I was blown away by all the new wands! We're coming in June so thanks for the update.

Aloha Dev!! Thank you for all you do to give us honest and original content. My favorite Harry Potter character is coincidentally Luna Lovegood. She’s intuitive, compassionate and simply herself with no apologies which I love. 😃

Loved seeing the interactive wand spots. I don't see too many youtubers having fun with them.

Hi Dev! I love your videos and how you always give the truth you don’t dress things up! My favorite character is Dobby!!

Love your work, agree its getting silly the prices at the park.

Love your channel. Love your videos. I especially love your travel videos. My favorite HP character is Hagrid.

Amazing video as always, Dev! I love that you picked Luna’s wand! ❤

My favorite gonna always big my big guy Hagrid (R.I.P. 😢) Love the videos my guy and hopefully I can catch you on your next Dollywood trip lol

Thanks for the great video Dev. I think my favorite character is Arthur Weasley. He seems like a good dad and I like how he is interested in Muggles.

My favorite character is Professor McGonagall!! I'm glad to see you going to Universal and Islands of Adventure more. Thank you for all you do.

You are amazing and I love your content! It’s hard to choose my favorite but I have three: Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape and Luna Lovegood.

Thanks for taking your own $$$ to make someone's day! I love Hermine. Wanting to do a Universal trip in the next couple of years. Hopefully will stay in the Premium resorts to get the Express pass.

My favorite is Proffesor McGonagall...she is such a force! Love your videos! We will be at Universal for our very first time next month!

Hello Dev! I really enjoy watching your videos! Keep doing what you’re doing! My favorite Harry Potter character is Hagrid

The treats look awesome! They have added a lot since I have been there. I have never done the interactive windows but I really need to do it next time we got to Universal! So many good characters in HP but I have to say Hagrid is my favorite!
