The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park

The highly-anticipated “Wizard World of Harry Potter Theme Park” in Orlando, Florida finally opened to the public last June 18 of this year. Days before the opening, casts never stopped promoting the theme park to everyone. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, and even the creator of the Harry Potter phenomenon J.K. Rowling herself showed up in America to celebrate the park's launching.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort kicked off its grand opening celebration with help from Harry Potter film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, James and Oliver Phelps, Matthew Lewis, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Michael Gambon, and Warwick Davis. There were hundreds of people, maybe thousands, who gathered in front of the Hogwarts castle that night for a spectacular display of fireworks which was choreographed to a special performance of music from the Harry Potter films conducted live by renowned composer John Williams.

One of the highlights of that night was a huge light show that was projected onto the castle. For sure, it was breath-taking and being there was like "wow! this is a dream come true!"

Here's the video, take a look!



I can't wait til I get to see myself enjoying in the theme park, but the question is "when and how will I get there?" If you want to get a preview of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, click here >> WWHP

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: A Theme Park

Last May 31st of 2007, Universal Studios and Warner Brothers announced to the public that they will be opening a Harry Potter theme park called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter".

The theme park will feature the village of Hogsmeade, the mysterious Forbidden Forest, and even Hogwarts castle itself. We will be able to go inside Harry's school, enjoy butterbeers and the famous pumpkin juice at Three Broomsticks, we might see the Shrieking Shack, and all souvenir shops will be at Hogsmeade for sure.

JK Rowling liked the idea and said that the fans of the books and films will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go there myself but i'm sure it's gonna be expensive... Anyway, I hope the tickets to the theme park will be like tickets to Hogwarts Express... and I'm hoping that the place is closed walls so that it will give us the idea that it is unplottable too, and so that going to the theme park will really need us to take the Hogwarts express first. I wish there's this train ride somewhere, a few distance from the park itself and you can't go to the park without this ride, coz it's gonna be the only way... WOW, that will be so cool right? Then there will be like a boat ride to the castle too or this carriage that will take us closer to the castle... I wish the theme park will really be the exact Hogwarts school we know.

The Opening: Between December 15, 2009 and June 30, 2010
The Location: Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida, USA
