Potter goes Universal
Warner Bros Entertainment and Universal Orlando Resort are building a Harry Potter themed zone at the Universal Island of Adventure park in Florida, US.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will comprise a replicated Hogsmeade Village, Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts Castle and Hogwarts Express, complete with rollercoaster rides and illusions of the fictional characters using special effects, as well as shops and restaurants.
Production designer Stuart Craig – who worked on the Harry Potter feature films with Warner Bros – is leading the creative team, with direct involvement of author J.K. Rowling.
Work on site is underway, with completion expected in late 2009.
