 | May 31st, 2007 at 09:50pm WB joined forces with Universal Orlando Resort to create what will be called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter"; which will be an entire island (much like islands of adventure) dedicated only to recreate the world of HP.
Its gonna have tours of the Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade, and the Forbidden Forest; along with rides, restaurants, shops, etc. Everything based exactly on the books, with details taken from the movies!
JK Rowling already gave approval and Stuart Craig (Academy Award winning production designer for the HP movies) is in charge of designing the park.
Its expected to open late 2009 or early 2010.

Actually, they used to do those, and sherbert lemons that turned your tongue weird colours...and chocolate frogs.
Dunno what happened to them.
I think it's gonna be so brilliant though. How many people are gonna act out scenes from it all while they're there and be dead geeky.

Heeeeeeeey Chessington was a huge part of my life when I was young. My aunt used to get free tickets cos she lived near there, so I went there all the time.
And I for one, loved it.  |

I can't wait! I'll beg my parents to take me. I'll get on my knees and throw a tantrum if I have to. Maybe they'll have little timeshare thingies. And one day, I'll somehow be magically superrich enough to buy every single week and I can live there.  |

Posts: 17669 | June 5th, 2007 at 03:29pm Omg how cool would that be, living in the Universal Studios version of Hogwarts.
Actually, scrap that. How cool would it be to live at Hogwarts?
If I went there I would not be a dropout.  |
