Calling All Harry Potter Fans!

I'm not a huge fan of Potter, but have enjoyed the films. There are, however, many MANY fans I'm surrounded by every single day. Thus, when this place in the article below opens up, a wonderful safe haven for them it'll be!

Harry Potter Theme Park Planned

Guess I better break out the old Nimbus 2000.

Maybe this will decrease crowds at Disneyland...

Re: Calling All Harry Potter Fans!

wow... at first, I thought it was an entire theme park devoted to Harry Potter (which I immediately said would get repeditive and not be able to expand after a certain point), but since it will be inside IOA, I think it's a pretty good idea. (However, I can only imagine what kind of people this will attract... lol, kidding!)

However, the Harry Potter movies have been Warner Brothers, so I'm surprised that Universal Studios would want or allow Harry Potter in their theme park. Warner Brothers is in Six Flags... or is it Paramounts? I believe I have seen it in both. But, considering the popularity of Harry Potter, this is probably a wise investment.

Re: Calling All Harry Potter Fans!

I wonder if this will be included in an admission to IOA or if it will be a separate ticket admission? They keep labeling it a theme park within a theme park.

Here is the "announcement video," it's going to be a 20 acre immersive environment inside Islands of Adventure. Looks pretty cool, hopefully they will execute it's production as well as it's seems to be conceptualized.

Theme parks will often license movies and films for use in their theme parks. Star Wars isn't a Disney property, but it's been licensed for use in Star Tours.

Yeah, I was just thinking that Warner Bros had already licensed their movies elsewhere that Universal wouldn't want them (or that Six Flags would feel cheated). However, I suppose the actual licensing goes to J.K. Rowling...

I can't wait! Hopefully it'll be up and running by my next trip to Orlando. I'm a major Harry Potter geek!
