Wizarding World of Harry Potter Details, Concept Art & Map

[harryng12345]

i want to go there but its very expensive...

[bigt4life]

Permission form to Hogsmeade?..........

Have fun at Hogsmeade;D

[TorNyan]

OLLIVANDERS & THE OWLERY IN HOGSMEDE? Ollivanders is in Diagon Alley, The Owlery next to hogwards and hogsmede is the wizard village, a bit or far from hogwards.

[CollideTheSkies]

@TorNyan Alright well then you can either give them more money to build those locations, or they can take them out to be more accurate. Your choice.

[TorNyan]

@CollideTheSkies Yeah, Yeah. Let me nerd rage :P

[TorNyan]

ITS CALLED... The Marauders MAP!

[KattenEurope]

a teampark based on a english book in america... make in in europe..

[Melorastar]

"traditional british fare including butterbeer and pumpkin juice"

Yes because thats what we eat and drink over here, or at least i wish we would anyway

[ALLCAPSfan98726]

Sounds so much fun!I will what to go to all the shops eat at the three broomsticks ride all the rides and go to Hogwarts!I wish I could go this summer!

[ScarletMeadows]

Is the harrypotter ride in hogwarts a roller coaster? Does it have a big drop? I just wanted to know.

[sunderlandgrl]

@ScarletMeadows No, it's not a rollercoaster, trust me. The tester seats outside the ride makes it look like it is a rollercoaster but it's not so don't let them put you off when you go. You don't go upside down, the furthest you go is on your back and that's why they have over-the-shoulder bars. There's no big drops, no drops at all really. It's more of a simulator that moves a long a track. I can't compare it to anything because I've never been on a ride like it. It's truly spectacular!

[ooohyeahnachoman]

they didnt replicate the great hall? :/

[nddlj]

When the guy said that you can get a remembrall there, I was sold hahah!! I have to at least eat a chocolate frog and buy a wand. I wonder if in the future (hopefully in a time where I'm still alive and active) they'll UPDATE their rides..like you can ride a robot gryffin or on a dragon's back! Aw man I can't wait for technology to get better!!!!!!!

[ilymorex33]

I'm going in a week and a day xD

[laury1103]

Hicieron un trabajo excelente creando una de las atracciones que durara por siempre asi como la historia del niño que sobrevivio :P Estoy de acuerdo en que deberia haber una muuuuuucho mas grande en UK pues es el lugar de origen de la escritora asi como de los actores y actrices

Ustedes tambien mueren por ser seleccionados por el sombrero o solo yo?? LOL

[PrincessEliBu]

Can't wait to go next summer. I love Harry Potter.

[Southgamedemon99]

@PrincessEliBu COOL ME TOO..... maybe we will see each other. I'll look at you then you look at me and then I'll look away.

[123paxton]

this is the best ride they have at universal studios

But the prace is SOOO crowded

[Southgamedemon99]

@123paxton maybe if we all new how to spell PLACE it wont be so crowded.

[123paxton]

this is the best ride they have at universal studios

[KitaPrita]

i just wish they have BOTH Hogsmeade AND Diagon Alley.

Do they have The Leaky Cauldron?

[confite30]

I would like to meet the castle, but unfortunately I live in Argentina ... is a bit far, I think ... Right?

[MsFizz85]

This is so amazing, the little girl in me is so excited. I can't wait! you guys did an amazing job!

[MrHennyguy]

i have been on all the rides and i ate dinner at the three broomsticks. there were bats flying everywhere in there! i also ate a chocolate frog and got godrick gyffindor card. i got a vomit flavoured every flavour bean and i had butter beer, tasted pretty bad! i also got a wand and i got teeth that bites you from zonkos!

[fuckingclassicleon]

ive been there is so awsome

[hmfrx]

it's not fair it's in america! it should be somewhere in great britian! it is a british film after all!

[HeyYou711]

@hmfrx It's based off books by a UK author, and takes place there too, but Warner Bros. Pictures and Universal Studios are technically American companies that are based in America, so they built it in one of the largest and most popular theme parks in the world. But I too agree it would be "right" to have it in the UK.

[jamaibloos1]

It looks great, but i don't have the money to make the trip to the USA :(

But.. One day i will go there!

[jraposo]

@jamaibloos1

stop worrying about money!!

use your imagination! and find a way to rob a bank, or some liquor store

[KrochaPRZ]

this is great..its a must see.......i recommend it its awsome

[jimmyd3241]

i am going in three days :)

[Shaunax10]

@jimmyd3241 its so much fun ! it was one of the best days of my life !

[stewiescool]

I see you say that the castle has some RIDES meaning more than one. what are those rides like?

[Shaunax10]

@stewiescool theres three rides, the forbidden journey, flight of the hippogriff and duelling dragons. the best one is the forbidden journey, its absolutely unreal, i cant even desribe it , it was AMAZING. duelling dragons is two suspended roller coasters and its a really good ride, they like twist in and out of each other and its alot of fun. flight of the hippogriff is more of a childrens ride i would say . the whole park is so unreal, well worth your time to go

[colorfulbirdie]

why did they include olivanders? that was in diagon alley. not hogsmede. although i cant wait to see it. also why did they put three broomsticks and hogs head right next to each other? oh well, i cant wait to see it anyways. gonna go in july, omg so excited!

[HeartKeyGirl]

i went there. it was awesome!

[MarabanaProductions]

I WENT TO IT ! It looks just like hogwarts !

lolol it was amazing !

i have a video of it !

youtube.com/watch?v=aXeYegkG8w­U

[LiLMiSSOMqq]

Itz A Ride.!! i Went And They Are Already Open And iWent On The 15th.!! Itz Not Sopose To Open To The 18th.... But We qt Stuck On The Ride...Twice,..!!!

[mitarisorceress12]

I want to get my wand!

[degrassipanther]

Think it's a ride, I saw it on ellen.

[cjmbelfast]

Just back from florida and i was luck had a sneak peak at the Harry Potter ride , Yes you able able to walk through the castle before you get on to the ride .

PS make sure you have a glass of frozen butter beer mmmmmmmm

[roadman364]

they should have a broom ride similar to soarin at epcot

[BenRessaFilm]

@roadman364 They should do the broom ride like Air at Alton Towers, then your facing the floor!

[ScarletMeadows]

Is the castle a ride or a walkthrough

?

[AttractionsMagazine]

@ScarletMeadows Walk-through.

[ohaierick]

@AttractionsMagazine @scarletmeadows They also have some rides.

[AttractionsMagazine]

@ohaierick Yes, there's one ride at the end of the castle queue. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

[ALLDONE3]

@ScarletMeadows both

[jimmyd3241]

@ScarletMeadows a ride

[nitodaburrito92]

@ScarletMeadows and ride...isnt it? at the end of the castle is the Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey Ride

[shawnf303]

ok this should be a summer camp for kids say good idea if you agree with me

[jdeathblood]

@ScarletMeadows No, it's both, there is a huge line throughout Hogwarts for the ride, and during the wait in the line, you can see amazing things.

[chitowngirl773]

i just came back from orlando 2 weeks ago and went to universal damm harry potter its looking so amazing

[GhostHostJeff]

So all in all you really only get one new "ride". Seems like they could have done a bit more.

[jamaibloos1]

Finally there is a theme park, i was depressed because everything couldn't be real... until now..

I (L) HARRY POTTER

[theh0tsauce]

yes, flight of the unicorn is going to be flight of the hippogryph and dueling dragons is going to be the dragon challenge

[NnWnN]

Time for Roller coaster Wizard's-chess..?

[Anglebuddy18]

Hey that would be awsome if at the grand opening they had Dan or Emma or Rupert or Jo cut a ribbon or something that would just be fitting don't ya think.

[paperrxhearrt]

BAHAHAH! Hear that Twilight fans!?

A HARRY POTTER WORLD!

Do I see a Twilight world anywhere? (:

NOPE ! :D

Harry Potter. Is cleary. Better ;)

[Anglebuddy18]

@paperrxhearrt I'm not a twilight fan but the town that twilit is mostly set in has a dozen shops set up for twilight fans. and yes I agree Harry Potter is the better of the two.

[lilj98]

will you be able to buy a wand?

[callofdutyfan12345]

the new name of the dueling dragons is dragons challenge

[ThrillSeekerGirl]

:O Who's going to The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter on the opening day?! :)

[Flixie101]

ino all the info about it already lol im just excited it opens on my bday!

[ISmellPussyClan]

am i right in thinking they're re-theming dueling dragons and flight of the unicorn?

[AttractionsMagazine]

@ISmellPussyClan Yes.

[JSRD95]

im going there the day after it opens

XD XD XD XD XD

[ThrillSeekerGirl]

@JSRD95 Me toooo. I hope the celebrities will be there. I bet they will. I mean wtf why wouldn't they see there own themepark??

[KBdancer16]

this is going to be sooo cool cant wait to go

[oohMonika]

OUR VERY OWN WAND ?

[watermelonygoodness]

But do the stairs move?  DO THE STAIRS MOVE?

[emeraldchica]

if the stairs dont move, i wont go

[ThrillSeekerGirl]

@emeraldchica Well if you think about it, if they add the moving staircase and the staircases move someone could fall off the stairs when they move so they will probably end up not building it.

[jualkyn]

@emeraldchica im sure t hey could make it move if they really wanted to but i doubt it because of the dangers that would be involved in that.. i mean have you seen how that thing works? One wrong move and you could fall to your death or at least seriously get hurt. Not to mention the unbelievable amount of expense ><. too bad though i'd LOVE the stairs to move.

[Spyke360]

@emeraldchica They don't move :/

[howo12]

dude i hope they do that would be so alwsome

[TheLolyprincess]

well maybe theres not a fred and george jokes shop, but they have Zonkos the Joke shop. if thats what i've heard.

[Muggle423]

Omg, I can't wait to go! I hope I do go, but I'm expecting it's gonna be a madhouse. I'm probably going to Disney in July and was hoping to visit Universal, but it's gonna be sooooo crowded.

[TheLolyprincess]

OMG. MY DREAM CAME TRUE!! DAMMN i allways been sayin that Universal should build a Harry Potter World. yeiiii .. n.n

[Southgamedemon99]

@TheLolyprincess I always wanted them to make a star wars section, but noooOOOOOOOOoooo, Disney had to go and fuck everything up.

[TheLolyprincess]

@Southgamedemon99 Ok First! Star Wars Its Not From Disney hahaha either Harry Potter, soo This is not Disney, This is Universal Studios, Orlando Resort !

[Southgamedemon99]

@TheLolyprincess I'm just saying that universal studios should have done something with star wars instead of Disney. And I know that's universal studios.

[TheLolyprincess]

@Southgamedemon99 Ok? but Disney doents have anything of Star Wars on it...Just Universal & Harry Potter is in Island Of Adventures, of course same place *Universal* but diferent Parks! But Anyway Universal Studios Already Re-Build The Star Wars Ride !!! I can't wait to ride it.. yeah i love Star Wars.. as I love to much Harry Potter i do to Star Wars...

[imakemagicTV]

I really want to go there so bad

[MrNaong]

I wanna check it out... No monies :(

[OMGitsNina153]

DUDE Harry Potter is so much more better... Although they both sound geeky.... Lord of the Rings sounds so much more geekier... I mean Harry Potter actually tells a story, unlike Lord of the Rings...

[pedro911212]

lord of the rings is better as the characters are cooler, story is average but i mean who else thought of an ring controled by evil. only JRR tolkien

[packersplayer119]

i dont even like harry potter but this is gunna be awsome i saw them building it last year

[kristopher101]

Every harry potter's series fan's dreams? I Think so. lol

[christian461]

omg i cant wait to see it :DDDDD

[KNrussell12]

Lord of the Rings is sooo much better. Harry Potter series is so bad. waste of money.

[Frogki1]

If you think this, why do you even go to these videos? To try to convert others to your opinion? Pretty pathetic, if you don't like Harry Potter, don't go to the videos about it, it's pretty simple...

[noeynoah45]

is that one about the flying horse that old unicorn ride? it thought they just tore that down

[0oMilliono0]

OMG im going to orlando in june i cant wait to go here!!!!!

[CamKoski]

this should of been built obviously in the UK!

[ChuckyLoverVids]

screw that idea i live in florida bitch ;)

[Frogki1]

I know you're going to hate me for saying this, but there just isn't room in UK for development like this, it sucks for you, but for the hundreds of thousands of kid fans in America like me, this is awesome... I'm sorry, but hopefully you can visit it sometime...

[GeorgienCourtney]

im going on the 27th febuary this year cant wait xxxxxxxxxx

[DACnSeriousENT]

dueling drags are fun but i was hoping there would be a new roller coaster

[Frogki1]

There is going to be a new ride.... If you're talking about a rollercoaster, then it might be true, however, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey will be a new ride...

[SmallSkaterFreak]

i cannot wait

yay i m going to go  in the summer :DDD

im like pissing

[strangedays21]

the coasters for Potter are the Dueling Dragon coasters?

[AttractionsMagazine]

Yes. They will be rethemed.

[coltonfingerboarder]

the roller coaster is just dueling dragons.

[RavenFallOfficial]

I´d love to go there, I have to say my parents and they gotta let me go...It would be great....

[Anglebuddy18]

They don't have Fred and Gourges jokes shop that sucks.

[9Lives101]

Maybe there will be some Weasely products in Zonko's Joke shop.

[Frogki1]

There will be pygmy puffs, extendible ears, and possibly others...

[Zebrax107]

@Anglebuddy18 thats because Fred and Georges joke shop is in Diagon Alley, not Hogsmeade

[Anglebuddy18]

@Zebrax107 thanks for stating the obvious. Olivanders is not in Hogsmead either and yet they're putting the wand shop in.

[Zebrax107]

@Anglebuddy18 Yeah well they already have Zonkos joke shop in the Hogsmeade in the books so it would be stupid to have two. They put Ollivanders in because getting a wand would be cool but i guess you obviously don't think so

[Anglebuddy18]

@Zebrax107 of course i'm excited about Olivanders, I lke the idea of getting a wand. I was only just stating that it kinda sucks that there is no Weasley shop. and like 9lives101 said they might possibly put a few of the Weasely products in Zonko's. Because you gotta admit you can't have a Harry Potter world without Fred and George's awsomeness.

[plantleg]

@Anglebuddy18 actuealy they do it might be zonkos

[GazzaGlitta]

@Anglebuddy18 That was in diagon alley much later. I thought they were just building Hog'semade, but i might be wrong.

[harrypotter799]

@Anglebuddy18 cuz fred and george are in diagon alley

[J2daT319]

@Anglebuddy18 Zonkos is the joke shop Fred and Gorge created

[Shaunax10]

@J2daT319 no its not, zonkos is the original joke shop thats in hogsmeade, fred and georges joke shop is called weasleys wizard wheezes.

[stephanieb2014]

@Anglebuddy18 awww that suxxxx  thats wat i was lookin fwd tooo dangitt!

[smithl3]

Hey,Im from ireland and Im heading back to Orlando with my family in July.I cant wait for this!

[mrfreeburn]

It's taking up some of the mythological area, Dueling Dragons is the Dragon Challenge and the flying unicorn is flight of the Hippogriff. That's all I've noticed when I saw the construction.

[eustaced]

i hope the visitors will wear toga

[lozzylozzylozloz]

okayy,, so this is at universal studios, in the space its taking up,, what was there before?? I went to florida twice in the last four years and from what i can remember it was just a lake,, i dont knowi f anything was there before though :/ This section of the park opens 7 days before i go !!!! :D so excited!!!! :D

[Annieelizm]

Where the ride that was once called "dueling dragons" is now the new ride with harry potter dragons. It is the same ride but different name. Then the rest expands from there. I don't think there was anything there.

[lozzylozzylozloz]

@Annieelizm OMG!! I LOVE DUELING DRAGONS!! Well atleast they aren't getting rid of it, thanks for oyur help = ) x

[Frogki1]

Hogsmeade and Hogwarts will take up previously unused areas, however, Flight of the Hippogryph is a rethemed Unicorn ride, and Dragon Challenge is a rethemed Dueling Dragons....

[angelinghaven]

dammit, it's in florida. :(

too far away.

[abarca47]

Just go bitch, its worth it.

[TheLittlePirate]

I wish I could afford to go... I'd have to save up for years just to get plane tickets--let alone the whole theme park.

[sparklywiggle122]

It's amazing how they're making a Zonkos, and Honeydukes. I'm going there first! :D i can't wait unti lspring break!

[cchhiillaazz]

I think they're already finished building, but they have some other things to do. btw they have the absolutley newest technology so it will become more cool. This is really awsome guys!

[bamptonbred]

Harry potter is the least american thing ever! should be in the uk!

[xSnapeSoulmatex]

I'm totally going to the opening.. I live about an hour from Orlando.. I hear on Mugglenet that the two who star the Weasley twins are going to be there, as well as Tom Felton and some others I suspect.

[xSnapeSoulmatex]

I'm crying with excitment- I wish Spring Break would hurry up!

A bloody theme park... Just for us devoted Potter fans! HAH HAH! TAKE THAT YOU RAVINOUS TWILIGHT FANS!

[chance123sexy]

it comes out this spring!!

[SGarv04]

i kinda wondered why they did this so late.. they should have done it earlier while they still had a lot of movies to come out

[rickymiami1]

OMG OMG OMG I CANT WAIT !!!!!! does anyone know when they will finish making the attractions?

[rraaajjii]

I want to go there too!!!

[Blount33Productions]

My grad bash will be at Unviversal during the opening of Harry potter location. My fellow Seniors will be locked at night in Unviversal. We will be there all night. This project will also maybe boost our economy and the New Arena will be built also around October for the Magic. So it will be perfect timing for these new places to boost the City up.

[TheKBLandLMBshow]

ilovethis<3 it excites me!;) jk anyway I think a Gringnotts bank ride would be awesome with like an anomatronic dragon!

[MrNaong]

they should totally do that... when they have more moneys.

[rawwrxlizz]

AHHH :D im goinggggggg

[ZidaneDaMan10]

They should have a 3-D realist ride with the broomsticks, flying through beautiful scenery. They should have also made the buck beack ride a 3-D interactive ride, making it realistic and stuff. Another great idea i think would be is a Qudditch attraction, where you can play an interactive game of quidditch and a shop wear you can buy your favorite house uniforms, gear, and the equipment. My last idea would be a whomping willow ride, that would be amazing.

[angelinghaven]

damn, you hav absolutely great ideas.

i like the 3D broomstick ride. :D

[MrNaong]

Oh, the whomping willow would be AWESOME!!!

[jessy0622]

OMG!!!

I so want 2 go ther when it is open!!!

Cant wait till its open!!!

[bruninie]

everyone whoes gives lazy reactions can cal themself a f*cking pussy it's gonna be fantastic and i'am going to that place!! gangster style!!!

[DisneyParkAudios]

US Hollywood should take out that stupid Studio Tours thing. If they did take it out, they could place in like another 10-20 rides so USH would be worth going to.

[thatswhatshesaid42]

actually thats not true if you went to halloween horror nights you could see they have so much room they could put maybe another 20 rides if they wanted to its just that they have no good ideas to make them

[Someotherguyuser]

They're NEVER going to take it out because that's WHERE ALL THEIR FILMING IS!

[bdawg201]

god thank u lord i live in miami its only 4 hours away no big deal i can survive ahhhh i can twait for harry poter!!!!!

[Danxsmp]

Lucky u! I live in Italy! .-. That's gonna be a big problem, but I MUST go there! ù.ù

[bdawg201]

hey how come u can speak english?anyways and it will be awsome if u can come

[udonthavetoknowme]

[MrTaylorswift12345]

Oh my god. I live only 2 hours away. The best part is that its opening around my birthday. May 16th. Im so excited i think i might explode!

[KeswickCamp08]

[rory89]

[DisneySinger12]

Why is everything built in Florida??? They should've built it here in California. Ugh I wish I could go when it opens. :'(

[allmiley1]

omfg!

[beatrixsnapefan]

like, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE AWESOME!!!!!

[robby844]

lol harry pothead will contribute to OVER 85% of the income LOL,

[mscolleen93]

i wish they would, instead, build an actual school somewhere in the country side of Great Britain, that has its own train, in a real castle, but-of course-be a regular boarding school that people can actually attend. i would SO send my kids there!!

[Sk8ergirl1436291]

gonna be sickkkk

[music02131]

i wanna go into hogwarts i wonder how they're gonna make the stair cases move though

[xJoe352x]

[RiiandNAO]

[TheEvOrAf]
