Clearly, this is an MGM thing.

I would open a new section of the park called Magic and locate it behind Star Tours and the New York area. The main access road would need to be moved to accomodate the new area.

The central ride would be a virtual reality ride similar in concept to the Back to the Future and Spiderman rides at Universal. Riders would take a ride on the magic bus and speed through London, taking an exerpt from the most recent edition of the movie. The ride would end at Hogwart's, where, taking a page from Epcot, there would be a "Harry Potter Pavillion" where you could walk through various rooms at Hogwarts to see creatures and magic. It would be a short guided walking tour (5-10 minutes).

There would be a restaurant themed after the great hall with a ceiling that would change throughout the day. It would serve traditional american fare, but everything would have mystical sounding names.

In the middle of Magic there would be a tree that moves throughout the day, responding to weather and people walking by. It would seem "aware" of everything that was going on and definately protective of itself.

There would be a series of gift shops themed after Hogsmead? (I forget the name of the place) and of course a saloon/cafe with similar theming. At the gift shops, there would be magic gifts, a candy store with all sorts of mystical sweets and a clothing store with current fashions as well as some of the more dramatic fashions from the movies.

The promotional event would be an annual visit from JK Rowlings where she would tell stories about Harry that were never written. The event would include a "fantasy gaming" convention that would include Dungeons & Dragons, Pokemon & Yugi-Oh!
