Harry Potter Theme Park

If you haven't already heard, there is going to be a Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, FL. It will be called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter", and is opening in late 2009 to early 2010. Now to be fair, it isn't going to be an entire theme park dedicated to Harry Potter. It will be part of Universal Studios Islands of Adventure.

Even though it will be limited to one "Island" in the theme park, it still promises to totally immerse the visitor in the world of Harry Potter. You will be able to walk the streets of Hogsmeade, venture into the Forbidden Forest and even tour Hogwarts itself.

There will be more than just site seeing though. You will enjoy exciting rides and interactive attractions, as well as shops and restaurants from the wizarding world. In addition, Universal promises a state of the art attraction that will bring the magic and characters to life in a way never before experienced.

To visit the official website click below. You will find downloads and videos describing the progress of the park as well as the press release. There are also conceptual pictures of the park that look amazing.
