Wizarding World construction continues progress
Wizarding World construction continues progress Over the past few months we've been giving you several Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park updates. Today, Jim Hill Media (a popular theme park insider blog) has some new interesting tidbits concerning JK Rowling's decision to grant the rights, construction, Hagrid's hut, and more:

According to Universal insiders, this bare framework is just the start. In the weeks and months ahead, literally thousands of pieces of metal will be hoisted up & then bolted into place. As a full-sized recreation of Harry Potter's alma mater is built at the southwestern border of IOA's "Jurassic Park" section.

You can read much much more, including a funny story about set designer Stuart Craig, right here. Thanks to Audrey for the tip!

Second? And I think those last two sentences are meant to be one, don't you think? If not, it's certainly a fragment.

Ellisosee, I actually thought it was slow news too but, if you really look at the article its actually got some really cool new info! And some good pictures. I thought the story at the end with the set guy from the movies was pretty funny too =P


Posted by hpintwense06 Feb 11th 2008

I can't wait. I have never been to Universal - I absolutely LOVE Walt Disney World (my favorite place ever!!) - but this will definately draw me there. & it's funny how Hagrid's hut is always being built. nice.

EEK! This news makes me soo excited!! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date, MuggleNet!! :) Come on 2009!!! I gotta start saving my money! hahaha.


Posted by member_of_SPEW Feb 11th 2008

awesome; it's nice to hear how well they apparently did Seuss. YES for the Cheesecakian roadtrip!!!! :D


Posted by hplvr92 Feb 12th 2008

haha, that's so cool. I loved the seuss world when I was there a few years ago. It was exactly like the books. Plus it had so many water spouts and darn man was it hot out! Universal has always been my favorite, Disney is just too boring, Universal has all of the roller coasters. The only reason I would ever go back to Florida (and I joked to my brother about this after vacation that year) was if they made a Harry Potter theme park, and now I'm going to have to! Great story about Stuart Craig too!

Quotes
Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

Albus Dumbledore
Goblet of Fire, Chapter 37, Page 724
