Potterheads! Make Your Travel Arrangements NOW!!!

Filed under: Harry Potter

 

Universal Studios announced today the official opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park!

Coming in Spring 2010, you can visit the world of Harry Potter including Hogsmeade Station, Owlery, and of course, Hogwarts, which will be the new parks main attraction and is described as "much more than a roller coaster."

Look at some of the preliminary drawings and renderings of the park above.

    Wow. Good marketing idea! The movie series is a classic already… like it or not. I am glad the kids will get to visit PotterLand and it will be a guilty pleasure for adults.

  25. 25

    this was announced at 10am EST, nice job. also this is yet another reason the potter fandom is better than the twitards, potter is so awesome it needs a theme park.



  26. 26

    OMG!!!! IM THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive been in love with Harry Potter since i was 11 years old! im 21 now and this whole thing makes me feel like a kid again!! i had pretty sad childhood (like a lot of ppl) and Harry made me feel like I wasn't alone and for that he will always hold a very, very special place in my heart! i don't care how nerdy it is!! The only question is, how much are tickets?…a million dollars im sure!!



  27. 27

    YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS



  28. 28

    EEEEEEK!!!!! I was there in June and they just were getting things started on construction, but theres signs all around Dueling Dragons and the Jurrassic Park ride about Hogwarts castle being built. It looked like it was going to be MASSIVE. I hope us Potter fans aren't disappointed. 2010!!!



  29. 29

  35. 35

    sounds like fun
    i'll go! :)



  36. 36

    Fucking yes.



  37. 37

    I'm so fucking excited I can't even tell you. My parents are taking me to Disney/Universal for my college graduation present this coming spring. This was the entire reason I wanted to take the trip in the first place! Honestly I've always felt like being inside Hogwarts/Hogsmeade would be a dream come true and I will be entirely in my element in this theme park. I've followed the development and it seems like it will be beyond amazing.



  38. 38

    omfgggg that looks AMAZING!



  39. 39

    I just wet my knickers! I'm so excited!



  40. 40

    OMeffingG!!!!! Possibly the best news i have heard all year!!!!!!!!!! haha



  41. 41

    I hope they use fake owls…

  42. dd says – reply to this


    42

    COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL although I kind of wonder how they are going to make some of these places interesting and fun.



  43. 43

    whoa they're gonna build it so fast…unless they already started way before this announcement



  44. 44

    I'm such a nerd. I'm super pumped about this 8)



  45. 45

    I'm such a nerd, and I'm super pumped about this 8)



  46. 46

    Perez, calm down you drama queen. Why do you have to make a MEDIA FRENZY out of everything? People will go to the stupid park when they want to, not when YOU tell them to.



  47. 47

    I suppose it's a good marketing idea but how are they going to stretch Harry Potter so far? How much of the film can be put into one park? Is it going to be big enough to spend an entire weekend there like the other theme parks? The good thing about Disney parks and Universal parks is that they can constantly update with new movies…. Harry Potter is coming to a close soon… I don't see this one lasting long.



  48. 48

    I totally was the one who sent this link, my life feels complete



  49. 49

    I SO WANT TO GOT THEREW!



  50. 50

  62. 62

    This is not a new theme park. It is a new land at Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida.



  63. 63

    HAHahAHAHAHA "jesus christ…fucking nerds" coming from a BRITNEY SPEARS fan!

    I'd rather be a nerd than have Herpes.. Gonorrhea.. Syphilis.. need i go on?:D

    HARRY POTTER



  64. 64

    fuck florida. it should be in SoCal. who wants to melt in florida? no one i know.



  65. 65

    It looks cool but it also looks like it could be kinda boring. It didn't look like there was much to do besides shop, eat, and take pictures. I love Harry Potter but I don't want to pay a ton to go to an amusment park with only a couple rides.



  66. 66

    I will do my best to go there, even if I'm 20 and in France!! I love Harry Potter's worl!!

    PS: PEREZ!!! YOU ROCK! :) (luv from France!)



  67. 67

    My best friend already decided a good while back that instead of going to Vegas for our 21st birthdays…we're asking to go there. Because we are that big of nerds. And damn proud of it. :D



  68. 68

    there's going to be a lot of rides. not just a couple.

    i want to go.

    oh yea britney spears fan harry potter fans are nerds .yet nobody seem sto be calling twihards nerds when they obsesses and love a fictional character. and on top of that to

    its not like im a star trek fan. which their not nerds either. they just enjoy a show.

    if this was twilight land or whatever perez would be on the net lfight out with capital letters and explaination points the whole way their!



  69. 69

    I will totally go there.



  70. 70

    I would move to the states to work there.. no joke.



  71. 71

    yeah. I just jizzed in my pants due to excitement.



  72. 72

    I love living 5 blocks away from here!! Can't wait for it to all be open finally!!!

    If anyone wants a place to crash for the opening hit me up :) its always nice to have couch surfers!!

    Xxx B



  73. 73

    Sounds amazing and luckily it will be in the states. Hopefully they'll sell BUTTERBEER and other stuff mentioned in the stories!!!



  74. 74

    OMG OMG CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  75. 75

    that looks waaaay fun! haha
    i LOVE roller coasters!!



  76. 76

    mario…..have your writers do a bit more research…….this is a part of islands of adventure in orlando…..not its own park.



  77. 77

    wow im definitely gonna be in tears when im there..im already making plans to go in summer 2010! oh britney fan u shud talk..UR A DAMN BRITNEY FAN lol



  78. 78

    okay lets get some facts straight:
    first of all this is not a new theme park but merely a new land in Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL.
    second, this is old news.

    nice try mario.



  79. 79

    I'd love to see Perez Hilton hanging from a tree… douse him in gasoline, and light him up!



  80. 80

    I am soooo going.



  81. 81

    OH MY GOD I HAVE TO GO

  82. Imy says – reply to this


    82

    Looks boring. Really.



  83. 83

    Cool, I live in Orlando, so this is gonna be huge for us. I really hope the whole town isn't shops though, what was it 2 rides total? Either way, good for Universal. I wonder if this is the replacement for the whole Marvel section? Since Disney bought Marvel….



  84. 84

    make
    zure
    u all
    bring
    y'r bulletproof
    veztz…
    O
    iz
    little
    iraq…heheheee
    no joking//



  85. 85

    They should make Twilight Land.. LoL



  86. 86

    First off, UNIVERSAL ORLANDO announces, not Universal Studios. Secondly, it's a portion of Islands of Adventure that will be the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They're calling it a 'Theme park within a theme park'. So don't worry about them incorporating all the movies. It's basically an additional 'themed' area of Islands of Adventure. But it's going to be AMAZING!



  87. 87

    Ooooooh I can't wait!!!



  88. 88

    Since when was Ollivanders and the Owlery part of Hogsmeade? Clearly, Ollivanders is in Diagon Alley and the Owlery is at Hogwarts.

    Whats the point of creating this theme park if its half-assed?

    And yes, I am a HP nerd!!



  89. 89

    That's going to be fucking awesome!
    I just went to Universal Studios for the 1st time in my life, and it beats the hell out of fucking Disney World, which is for little kids, not teens.
    But I'd have to wait until 2011 to go :( Oh well, atleast I'm going!!



  90. 90

    I will be there.



  91. 91

    wow. you're really late one this one. they announced it back in 2008!!!! talk about late! the constructions began about 8 months ago and the regular guests at the park can see it. The kid that plays draco was in Universal a couple of weeks ago…good job again on the delayed news.



  92. 92

    I cant wait to go… it looks so cute there. =)



  93. 93

    I wish it's gonna be as good as ir sounds



  94. 94

    This just made my lifee.



  95. 95

    OMG!!!
    it's times like these i wish i lived in the us…

  96. 96

    absolutely amazing.



  97. 97
