Harry Potter is on his way to sunny Florida

Wizarding World of Harry Potter progress report

The title is correct and as of spring 2010 Harry Potters home will be in the theme park Islands of Adventure which is within the Universal Studios resort. The park is not basing the land on any of the books or films in particular but as a collection of all of those put together. They are currently working very closely with Warner Brothers on bringing the imagination of J.K Rowling to life. Having just returned from Florida, at the moment all that can be seen is Hogwarts Castle being built along with a Ministry Of Magic Decree saying no one can see what is going on within that area of the park.

There are two rides that are closing for a short time while they recieve total Harry Potter remakes. The family favourite The Flying Unicorn will be turned into Flight of the Hippogriff and the dual-track Duelling Dragons coaster is set to be turned into Dragon Challenge which all sounds very “I cant be bothered”. The latter of the two is actually still open so it is possible not much will be done to this ride at all.

The final ride is so secret that nobody knows what it is going to contain. Universal have only announced it will be called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and have stated it will be state of the art as well as mind blowing. Considering the recent Spiderman, Mummy and Rip-Ride-Rock it rides that they have put into place they could be telling the truth.

Dining experience will include the Three Broomsticks, Hogs Head and Honeydukes for all those every flavour bean fans. The shopping choices include; Ollivanders, Zonkos, Dervish and Banges and Filchs Emporium of Confiscated Goods. Hogsmeade train station as well as the Owlery are also to be included in this new part.

So book your Florida holidays and American holidays or even perhaps USA tours now to make sure you do not miss out on this opportunity.
