Wizarding World set to open December 1st, 2009?
TCPalm.com has a small quote from Universal Orlando Resort President Bill Davis, stating that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter may be opening as early as December 1st, 2009.As we reported back in August, a NEC filing for the park stated that the earliest it could open is December 15th. This earlier opening may be good news at first sight. However, you may remember a report from Jim Hill Media in November, which won't leave fans as excited. The website suggested that phase one, to be opened in December, "will probably only include Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade Village." Phase two, which would include the Forbidden Forest and a flying-car attraction, will open in 2010.
Of course, none of this is official yet. Given that the Potter park only has dirt laid on its ground right now, these dates are bound to change. We'll keep you updated! Thanks to Justina for the tip.

Can you please just chat on AIM so the rest of us can actually post comments about the news? I'll see you all at the theme park anyay!
uhm... yay! but if they could open it sooner (though, its probably highly unlikely), it would be fabulous !
yay! but i wouldn't wanna go without the phase two. you have to wait longer - but you get more out of the trip.
I'd rather have it open later and be complete. Why do they have to have the flying car ride? That was only in the second book!
Cool-
That would be cool,,I really hope they don't rush to get it opened and have it suck though. Top40
yay!...I can't wait....does anyone notice mugglenet never updates its list or has any competitions...=-)***PEAC E***
OUR CHEESECAKIAN SITE IS OPEN!!! Since this is public, you'll need to email adheule@frontiernet.net to find the url out.
**cough** It "SHOULD" be in the UK. I mean, I know I've been going on about this issue so much lately, but I have a point. Now, it has every reason to be in Orlando, in the US. Because of the huge amount of tourism there, and because it's so near the other theme parks there. But I think this is the number one reason why it should be in the UK, or in Britain. Isn't - Harry - Potter - British? I never recall him being American. And what about all those British HP fans, who will never get to GO as a kid because it's too far away? And then all those American kids will be storming all over the place! I feel truly sorry for them. Because some of them, who are like in there late teens of early twenties now, have been TRUE Harry Potter fans since like the day Philosopher's Stone was printed and sold on bookshelves. Now I know you could say that about Americans in their late teens or early twenties too, but that does still not exclude the fact that Harry Potter is British.
I am so excited to hear the opening being moved up! It doesn't affect the date that i have planned to visit it but it is still nice to know it will be opening a little sooner! My friend and I were hoping to visit it on our senior class trip! I can hardly wait until i get to go!!!! it will truly be the best day of my life as i know it will be for other HP fans also. i do wish it was a little bit closer to home though. Either way, here i come HP!
well i just got back form orlando florda where i went to universal studios and they are right when i was on like the rollercoasters you could see over the green fence they had to block us off from going in there and all i saw was dirt and like trackers movie it around but ya if they want it ready by decemvber 1st 2009 they got alot of work to do
I am soo excited! When I first heard It was coming I almost screamed! YEAHHHHHH
