Universal Studio’s is creating ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’ as an exciting new theme park within their Orlando, Florida theme park. The park will immerse guests into the town of Hogsmeade, as described in the Harry Potter book series. The entire town is being recreated as the magical world described by the author R.K. Rowlings, this is so visitors can experience first hand this imaginary place. This 20 acre theme park will be located within Universal Studio’s Islands of Adventure. The main area of the theme park will be the town of Hogsmeade, but it will also include the Forbidden Forest and of course, Hogwarts Castle.
Warner Brother’s studios has partnered with Universal to capture the true essence of the magical world of Harry Potter. The theme park is being created with strict authenticity, to be able to bring to life all of the stories of Harry Potter.
I have had the pleasure to visit the UK for short periods of my life. I had visited London, England a few times, as well as some of the British countryside. So as I read the Harry Potter books myself, it was easy for me to go back when I was there and saw some of what was written by R.K. Rowlings. The attention to detail for the movies will also be brought out at ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”.
You can follow the stages of this unique and magical theme park being built in Universal Studio’s. Their website has polls and additional information about the park that is interactive. Plus you can sign up to get email’s updating you on the progress and the announcement of the final opening date in 2010. Visit the website of ‘ The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” and enjoy this part of the adventure as it begins.
I know that my family may be in line again at midnight, like we did to get our hands on each new book that came out. We are excited to see and experiance the mysterious, mystical world of Hogwarts and imagine the life of Harry Potter and his wizarding friends.
