Yes! YES YES YES!

We'd been so head over heels about the developments for The Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter coming to El Lay and Japan that we had forgotten about all of the changes in the works at the original, in Orlando, Florida!

But as we've reported, Universal is busy expanding the franchise from its Islands of Adventure location all the way to where the Jaws ride used to be, which will allegedly become a new and improved Diagon Alley and London set…and will even house a fully functional Hogwarts Express train that will transport visitors to the original 'Hogsmeade' location!

Hold on to your sorting hat, however, because apparently, this could all be happening much sooner than anyone had anticipated!

Like NEXT-YEAR sooner, you guys!

In an announcement made this morning by Buddy Dyer, the mayor of Orlando:

Good idea!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure may be undergoing an expansion as soon as Summer 2012!

Apparently The Lost Continent area isn't very popular anymore and Harry Potter just might take over that region of the park within the next 2 to 3 years!

We think that would be great for fans AND for Universal — definitely more $$$ to be made!
