If you haven't heard the joyous news, the Boy Who Lived, is coming to Orlando Florida's Universal Islands of Adventure. I can't tell you how excited I am. I will definitely be one of the first in line to go in the park!!!
As far as I know the park is set to open Spring of next year. I have heard some insider information from an employee of Universal who will remain undisclosed for obvious reasons.
According to the employee we will be issued wands from Ollivanders that allow the user to point it at a certain object in the park it will do some sort of preordained action, like move, or float or spin, and it will also unlock doors
Q: Will Hogwarts be like Cinderella's Castle, just for looking, and a little walk-through maybe, or will we like be able to go to Dumbledore's Office and the Gryffindor Common Room, the Great Hall, a class room or two?
A: It will be in between
there are supposed to be several of those places, though I don't think to the same scale they were in the movie/book
and they are to be used for other things...like the great hall will be the sitting area in a restaurant...stuff like that
Since the interview, it has been reported that their will be staged duels at the park for guests to witness, possibly the final duel, or maybe the graveyard scene?
So, all in all this seems like an exciting new Island for Universal and I know I will be there wand in hand, ready to board the Hogwarts Express.
