Opening overview of Wizarding World of Harry Potter with J.K. Rowling, Daniel Radcliffe & more

[TheGarfieldxx30000]

I CAN'T WAIT NEXT MONTH!

[DrSheepdancer]

I want to spend my 18th birthday there.

[gorgeouschino]

@DrSheepdancer ME TOO!

[ello20000]

If England had more land and more affordable land then that wizarding world would have been placed over here also. Now I have to travel all the way to Orlando to experience it :(

[LeDukeOfZena]

I rarely laugh out, out of joy or humor, even if I think something is hilarious. But going going to that park, riding the tour of hogwarts ride, and even waiting in the extremely well detailed lines, caused me to geek out to the point of almost constatntly smiling or 'lol'ing. The place is truly incredible, and almost a necessity for any huge potter fans, who want to remember why they loved hogwarts in the first place.

[RoseMaddi]

I am really exicted, as I am going here Easter 2013, but what confused me was that Harry Potter is British, with British actors and a british author, so why the HECK did they make it in America! UK would have earned lots of money, as Americans love British things, as well as many people from Japan. It just makes more sense to make it in BRITIAN, as it's such a British series. BUT IM SUPER DUPER EXICTED :D

[skipper1231000]

that looks fun!

[harryng12345]

why isnt emma there

[Kemitzu]

I was at that place last month!! Orlando,Florida!!(: I wish I was there the night it opened!D:

[pinkie5963CP]

LIKE! :D FAV! :D SUB! :D COMMENT! :D 

[alizimoxx]

wish this was built in the UK,hahah guess i`ll have to save up for orlando instead!

[summerthaliarose]

This made me so sad and happy at the same time :)

[TheSAJOWI]

Lol, I love hoe awkward Dan looks when he grabs those two kids' hands. He looks like he immediately regrets the decision when he has to walk bending down.

[Evelyn4eva]

Who said dreams don't come true??

[StarkidMarie]

@BlackSoulxProduction its in the US in Universal Studios

[BlackSoulxProduction]

this is in amerika? or england?

[momo4895]

@BlackSoulxProduction It's in America, In Orlando FL

[0StWorld]

why didn't harry and ron come with the car flying !?

[MariaLovesDegrassi1D]

I didn't quite catch where is the theme park? I know it's in America but what part?

[GeorgiaGirl898]

@MariaLovesDegrassi1D Orlando, Florida

[fireblade771000]

i went there last summer and it is amazing. really feels like your in the wizarding world. My sister (who is the biggest harry potter fan in the family) got picked for the olivanders thing. That and the Jurassic Park area (at least for me) were the best areas of thee entire park.

[elizabethbinay]

yeah like !!

supah like !!

[LeopardgeckoC]

I could die happy if I ever get to go there.

[nnaaths]

1:56 .. sooooo jealous of that kids! :(

[kickitupanotchdraco]

@MegellaMonsterFace No, I actually cried, and then when fred&george lit the firework and when daniel radcliffe was taking those kids round. I've been there but they just thought of everything it's so beautiful xx

[Kimberleeeex]

i met ron weasley/rupert grint at universal studios, wooo!

[TheNoodledragon]

Everyone is making me feel awful about how they want to go again when I really want to go but instead I am stuck at home trying to get the same sort of feeling of happiness. ;(

[zzaarrker]

I wonder how it feels for poor J.K. Rowling with all those mugglers around her...

[c0m0n1]

aww look at michael gambon (dumbledore ) at 1:21 !  so cute

this guy rocks.

[MegellaMonsterFace]

Anybody else tear up a little when everyone had their wands pointed to the sky and they all said Lumos Maxima, or was that just me?

[flyespy8]

@MegellaMonsterFace Dude it took every bit of will power to reign in the waterworks! ;__;

[yourmombro1]

is it in us la

[TaylorSwiftFan139]

My friend and I spent 6 straight hours just in Harry Potter World until my mom had to drag us out..

[iheartsjonas]

Omg, i've been there last year before I got into the books and movies and now that I am SO INTO THEM, I WANT TO GO BACK :D

[horseyjill28]

I must say, the idea to open a Harry Potter theme park was truly genius. Not just as a money-maker, but to create a place where Harry Potter fans can really walk through the world is so cool. Some people are mad that they will be building a second park in L.A., because "there can only be one Hogwarts" but I'm really pleased. This is just a really cool thing, in my opinion. Can't wait to go for myself!

[mayita9189]

I'm sooooooooo jealous of the little girl that is 1. walking through "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" 2. holding Dan/ Harry's haaaaaaaaaaaaand!! TwT

[MoDHyPe]

Harry Potter Is.. Wait for it... Legendary!!!

[miezekatze411]

Why has it to be in America? Its so far away from Germany :(

[OfficialDarcia]

Well me live in England sooo no probie for me!!!!!!!! 8D.

[TheAnnerf]

Well I guess i just have to jump on my Norwegian Ridgeback and fly over to Hogwarts World!

[GAYPRIDE1985]

I will be there March 25th! I can't wait!!!

[gwfan159]

that lucky little girl who got to sit next to fricken daniel radcliif on a roller coaster

[TheHaxman999]

where's voldemort? D:

[mellocellojk]

i find it kinda awkward that tom felton (as much as i love him) is there, but emma isn't :-(

[EmmaWikkeHornbak]

I have a one more goal in life, going to USA, to the wizarding world of Harry Potter!!! O___O

[EmmaWikkeHornbak]

Uhm, little Denmark... what to do, what to do...

[maddeh11]

why do i have to live in australia :(

[BonnieWrightLover]

me to i want to go so badly!!!!!$

[44Coolcatty]

i want to go there so badly..!!!!!!

[disasterxbrewingx3]

That has to be amazing for Jo to see her world come alive. I'm definitely going to miss the HP World, since I grew up with it.

[Nagem1617]

Okay, get me on a plane straight to there!

[CrystalChord2010]

This is coming from a girl who was raised on Disney: This is more magical than all the disney parks for me. I'm so touched I'm crying. :D

[iCarly422]

OMG!!!! 0:26 ITS RUPERT'S SEXY WIGGLE LMAO

[xXDisturbedFoxXx]

Lol so jealous of those kids that were wearing red! One girl was even holding Daniel's hand XD Some people are so lucky! I never even met a famous person in real life X3

[Crocadali1109]

[xxMissChocklitMilk]

LUCKIEST FREAKING KIDS ALIVE OH GAAAH

[LongLive15]

[MsHallowHallow]

Man those are some lucky kids!!!!!

[JustyskaAddWater]

MY WORLD !

[ivanVNabong]

Freaking kids probably don't even know Harry's full name. :(

[lovelygoldensparrow]

@ivanVNabong Lol,It doesnt matter if they know the character's full name.The fact that they are there w/the cast and they get to learn about the wonderful world of Harry Potter is freaking amazing. They probably learned all about names and everything else once they got there.

[hellrazor665]

0:54 yay

[Parkourrocker777]

I am so jealous of those kids!!!!!!!! >=(

[xairaloveshayne1999]

i really love tom he's so natural..

[theearthshaker05]

lol. i just laughed when daniel commanded everyone to say Lumos Maxima, and everyone except Professor Dumbledore was sort of lost on where he's supposed to point his wand. The castle's at your back sir. lolllllllll. replay 1:25 .

[BigMuffinStudio]

I remember when I heard this was first coming out. It was 3 years ago and I was nine <3 I saved up all my birthday money for when it would open. 2010 seemed so far away! :D 

[shellywuvsyou]

I wen last year it's brilliant. But it's bloody crowded. Took and hour to get into ollivanders and 3 hours to get into hogwarts!!

[bunnygopoke]

[IsisLaZingara]

[beckiebeckie123]

[beckiebeckie123]

[thecraftygirl12]

lol!!! at 1:23 when they were casting the spell, dumbledore casted it at the audience instead and finally noticed he had to do it the other way!!!!! cracked me up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OdileLTCA]

My dream is to go there.

[SingDanceCheer56]

Fail dumbledore at 1:24

[ryutheboss]

[SooLiza]

Sure! Go ahead and take second grade kids to go for a ride with Harry Potter cast! They weren't even ALIVE when it started! LOL Joke! hahahaha so happy for them (:

[thecreackerrrunited]

seeing dan and rupert getting out of that blue car 20 years old is so werid than seeing them getting out of it 12 years old :O

[infinitedork24]

OHMYGOD YOU CAN GET FEZZES THERE? I think the Eleventh Doctor must have brainwashed Jo somehow!

[ArcInTheSky27]

This music is epic! John Williams is a beast! :D

[animythfameEm]

I rung that bell!!!!!! Wow!!!! My hand touched something that Daniels hand touches!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[meangirl714]

i would love to go to the park! and that was so sweet that daniel hung out with those kids

[edward23455]

Even though its awesome i wish was one of those little kids in red shirts riding and walking beside Daniel Radcliffe!

[Elefattinasu]

Cool!

[WizardFreak478]

i am so jealous of those kids that got to go on the rides with dan, rupert, etc....!!

[athens202]

@Kaalevv1 So what? We should be happy that there's a new generation of Potter fans coming up!

[icemagz]

@Bearclaw687 you might have more fans there but only because USA is bigger than england so theres obviously going to be more fans in america but harry potter origanated from here

[inhurika]

I'm still waiting for the one in Scotland beside the lake and a big old forest.. or at least some ruins and warning signs for us muggles to see.

[Kaalevv1]

@thelauraroar i wont like to go to a theme park in a place where it is rainy and wet all the time :S think about it

[coolio5651]

Why does it matter whether it's in America or Britain? The point is that it was made in the first place!!!

[kckc1289]

@coolio5651 nicely said

[iheartjonscheyer30]

@thelauraroar Don't get mad at us. OUS asked JK Rowling for her permission to build it and she gave it.

[MaxRideJ]

NYYAAAAA!!! i wanna go T.T why is it in america? not all of us inheritted the money to by out NASA when our parents died! Rocketship Potter! Starkid Potter! Moonshoes Potter! Traversing the galaxy for intergalactic travels to Pigfarts! Ugh!

[farayh]

[joaovo88]

1:23 i think someone is doing this wrong lol

[TheHanners100]

Can I please switch places with those little first graders? I really wanna hold Dan's hand and sit next to him on a ride...

[xxsheninexx]

[ashleyravioli]

I'd be happy to lick that whipped cream off Tom's lips.

[music4life520]

I LOVED IT THERE!! oh my god... it was amazing! :D the forbiden journey ride is my favorite!! but you truly do feel like you're in the Wizarding World when you're there! :)

[theVERYCONFUSEDgirl]

My friend brought back pumpkin juice and my moms friend a wand. (Harry's)

I can attest pumpkin juice is Amazing.

[psychofangirl13]

[Nikki34577]

[loyaldeatheater11]

[AlyssaRenee116]

[MaxRideJ]

@AlyssaRenee116 lookout world for the dawn of the day where everyone will do WHATEVER I SAY!!!!

[iluvsuforeverz]

Ive been there before and I had stupid school when it opened and seeing this made me think I would kill to ride with one of the stars of the film I mean it would the best day ever!!!!!

[cattitta0087]

Hey you! The lady in blue at 0:30! Miss J. K. Rowling! Let's make a change! Give me your pocket and i'll give you mine..!!!!!!! = D

[Hpfan20009453]

@DancerLeanne if ur ther with rumbleroar tell him i said hello

[iiratiional9]

WHO ARE THESE KIDS! They weren't even born when Harry Potter came out. XD

[mspudds22]

How many of you would have killed to be one of those kids that got to go on rides with the cast?

[Overdrivepictures]

FASCINATING.

[ILoveRavenclaw9]

It's nice to think that ALL OF THIS every single thing came from J.K. Rowling's brain!!!

[149shawty]

cant believe that harry potter was made, created and filmed in Britain... but the theme park was opened in america -.-

[13BLACKKAT13ily]

:3 those kids are so lucky to be able to go on those rides with the Phelps Twins TT_TT it would be kinda stalker-ish if I got the chance to do that. I would just be like insanely close to them the whole time xD ohmygosh that would be funny xD I love the firework thing that was awesome lolz, I so wanna go there...... Dammit, why do I have to live in Australia???!!! D: TT_TT

[LuvPeace2525]

I NEEDA GO THERE

[freezemypath4]

Emma Watson is so hot!!!

[briggitbro]

Holy crap I want to go there so bad!

[TardsRe]

America always steal everything from England it should of been built in ENGLAND where it was made and written!

[Skate37902]

Disneyland: 2nd happiest place on Earth...

[TardsRe]

@DancerLeanne yeahh it really should of, JK Rowling is english and all the films were made in this country too, i reckon they should have it specially made, like diagon ally, the train station 9 3/4 with the train and then you could ride it to hogwarts it would be amazing!

[MintChocChip100]

if hogwarts was a college, it want to get accept to go there

[MintChocChip100]

those little kids get to go on a ride with dan, screw them.

[beccadanielle8D]

It must be amazing for JK Rowling to actually walk into her own imagination. =)

[Depp4ever94]

Seeing J.K. Rowling at the Wizarding World makes me smile because it was basically her imagination and creation in a theme park <3

[Raindropfurry]

Do they have gryffindor robes? <3 <3 <3 <3 

[cocopelad]

1:22 Dumbassdore pointed in the wrong direction LMFAO

[rubymorvan]

Why have I got such useless parents that I can't go???

[SarahhhAngel]

Man I was there at the opening of the themepark but it was too damn crowded I couldn't get in Lol.

[blahblahblah11811]

aww, dan is so cute holding the kids hands and stuff =)

[leonoralmeida1394]

Lumos Maxima ! oh my god, this is awesome <3

[joetheazl]

1:25 Dumbledore...one of the world's greatest wizards ever to be....has pointed the wrong direction LOL!

[leonoralmeida1394]

@joetheazl he's like wait wuuuuut oh that way

[whydacow16]

BIG lumos!

[JoltedTearsx]

I WANNA GO SO BADDD! :|

[millaindie]

It would be amazing to go there, and randomly you bump into one of the actors, then have a chat(maybe not realizing it's one of the actors, because they are so normal and casual), and suddenly become friends! Think about that...

[Drewtheman0110]

Isn't it when they drink the butterbeer and Daniel mouth's " That's really good! " just makes you want to drink that butterbeer so much. Thumbs up if you agree

[SayBananarama]

where's dobby?

[sahanagopaal]

If I were sitting on a roller coaster next to Tom Felton, I'd pretend to be scared and hold onto him the entire time.

[EmilyxGrimes]

it makes me sad to think that i will probably never go here :/

[JenniYLee]

@EmilyxGrimes same here... ):

[FairytaleDream13]

you have no idea how jealous of those little kids i am! i wanna ride roller coasters with Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe!

[breathebliss]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH I WANNA GO

[x3AnimeEGG]

Aw those kids r lucky I wuld love to sit next to Daniel or Tom or Rupert on that roller coaster :D
