The LA Times is reporting that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is set to be built at Universal Studios Japan, an official announcement is expected to be released tomorrow.  According to the article,

Universal Studios Japan on Thursday will unveil plans to build the first international version of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the blockbuster attraction that has drawn millions of fans to Universal’s Orlando resort and is coming to Los Angeles.

The Osaka destination — expected to begin construction in the next few weeks with a planned opening in late 2014 and an expected cost of about $500 million — brings Hogwarts Castle and rides including Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey to the boy wizard’s biggest market outside of the United States.

“A lot of work goes into building these parks, so we’re probably at the limit of what we could manage at the moment,” said Globe. “But if some other great opportunity for Harry Potter presents itself, we would certainly take a look at it.”

In a statement, Rowling gave her stamp of approval to the newest addition to her Harry Potter empire: “I was delighted to experience and enjoy the attention to detail, creativity and superb craft that went into the first Wizarding World in Orlando,” she said. “I am equally delighted that the same level of expertise and enjoyment will translate to the new park in Japan.”

Fans will recall that the Wizarding World in Los Angeles isn’t scheduled to open until 2016, so fans in Japan will be getting Potter much sooner. Universal Orlando will also have an expansion to include more attractions.
