Potter Park Due At Universal Orlando
Warner Brothers and Universal Orlando Resort are partnering to create The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a "theme park within a theme park" based on the hit book and film franchise, at the Islands of Adventure at the Universal Orlando Resort. The attraction is expected to open in late 2009.
Inspired by J.K. Rowling's stories and characters and faithful to the visual landscapes of the films, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will enable guests to visit some of the most iconic locations found in the books and the films, including the village of Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts castle.
The new environment will also feature rides and interactive attractions, as well as experiential shops and restaurants. The park will also incorporate a "state-of-the-art attraction that will bring the magic, characters and stories of Harry Potter to life in an exciting way that guests have never before experienced," the companies said.
Stuart Craig, the Oscar-winning production designer on the Harry Potter movies, leads the creative design for the area to ensure it remains faithful to the look and feel of the films. The fifth film in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, opens July 11.

I hope they make it so that I can actually feel like I'm there and not in a 3 room castle and only a Hogsmeade with only one building neutral
