Back in October I posted about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter holding auditions to work as actors in the theme park; those positions have been filled.  Now the park is hiring for normal jobs.  They are hiring for Foods, Merchandise, and Attractions Operations positions.

You can apply by going here and clicking on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter link at the top of the page.  Unfortunately, to get to the application you need to be using a PC, not a Mac.

Thanks to Mugglenet!

Sorry I haven’t been posting all the news about the theme park guys, I always forget to!  Anyway, today there are a bunch of new photos online thanks to Brian!  You can see them all by going over to his blog!  I have posted some below.

The newspaper the Daily Telegraph giving away free a DVD highlighting Universal Orlando Resort’s Harry Potter Theme Park in the Sunday issue. The following day, fans will also be able to get a free Harry Potter and the Hogwarts castle mouse pad.

Thanks HPANA!

There will be an open casting call held next month for roles at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park attraction under construction at Universal Orlando. According to Orlando Attractions Magazine, auditions will be held on November 14 and 15th with rehearsals set for January.

“They’re looking for male and female actors who can speak with a British accent. More specifically, Universal is holding calls for male actors with strong improv and interaction skills who are able to portray an age range of mid-thiries to mid-forties. In addition, they’re casting male and female actors who are youthful in appearance. Casting is being held on Saturday, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 15 at 10 a.m. in the Universal Orlando Human Resources Lobby at 1000 Universal Studios Plaza, Orlando, FL 32819.

Full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions are available. All actors should prepare a one-minute monologue for audition and candidates must be available for callbacks on Monday, Nov. 16 and rehearsals beginning in January.”

Thanks TLC!
