Well if you visit other Harry Potter sites, which I’m sure you all do 😉 , you will know that some of the other big sites were invited to Florida for an announcement about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!  I am in class a lot today, but I will be posting the news as soon as a get a moment! (well once they release it that is)

Too bad I wasn’t invited, but I would have had to miss a few days of classes, it would have been worth it though…oh well…maybe next time.

On Tuesday September 15th there will be a press event for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the theme park opening in Orlando, Florida in 2010.

Tom Felton has revealed that he will be in Orlando for the Wizarding World event.  Stay tuned for more information about this.

Thanks Mugglenet.

I’ve been wondering about this lately!

Attractions Magazine has a new article online today, containing some interesting names and trademarked registered by Warner Bros for possible use at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  In the past WB has registered a host of names that were never intended to be used for such things as titles of the Harry Potter novels so these could just be decoys!

• “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” is filed under “Entertainment services in the nature of an amusement park ride.”
• “Flight of the Hippogriff” and “Dragon Challenge,” are likely going to be the new names for the existing Flying Unicorn and Dueling Dragons rides.
• “Owl Post” and “Dervish and Banges” are categorized as retail stores.
• “Hogsmeade Village” is listed as “Entertainment services in the nature of an amusement park attraction, namely, a themed area.”
• “Magic Neep” is categorized under “Restaurant services, namely, providing of food and beverages for consumption.”

The Orlando Sentinel has posted a new article with details on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.

“People are expecting to immerse themselves in the whole Harry Potter universe,” Niles said. “Really, a lot more than other attractions, people are going to be paying a lot of attention to the theming, the attention to detail and the atmosphere of the place, more so than the rides.”
Plans for the 20-acre Wizarding World show more than a dozen buildings, including at least three shops, a restaurant and multiple forced-perspective decorative buildings. The centerpiece will be the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the iconic castle and keep from the Potter books and movies.

My friend Kristen over at JKR FAN was able to visit Islands of Adventure, the future home of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter yesterday and she has posted 22 photos on her site! You can see photos of  Hagrid’s House, the back side of Hogwarts, and more.
