The Sunday Mirror reported earlier today that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has written a story that is set to become a mini-movie used at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter when it opens in late 2009 or early 2010. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are said to shoot the mini-movie prior to initial filming of Deathly Hallows. The article stated: "They are also working on extra sequences and clips which will be part of the rides." Rowling has reportedly been involved throughout the process. Please treat this as a rumor for now as The Mirror is not the most reliable news source.

Ah awesoe. ROADTRIP WHEN IT COME SOUT!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 12:58:24

IF its true, sounds like the All Gods Village walkthough movie thing that was in a Japanese themepark a long while ago. I wish I had seen it. I suppose, depending upon this mini story she may or may not have wrote, Id like to see this too.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:03:54

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:28:37

cool cant wait for the park

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:31:12

not the most reliable source - you can say that again!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:39:15

Wow, thats really cool! I really hope I get to go some day - maybe not as soon as it opens but that doesnt matter! This story reminds me of the mini-movie thing that was done for like, Red Nose Day or Children in Need or something special which was something to do with a crown..its on youtube somewhere..anyone know what Im on about?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:40:50

I hope this is true because I think its neat that JKRowling would get so involved with this park and they should use the trio for scenes for the park as well. Cool :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:45:26

OMG OMG OMG! This is beyond amazing! I hope that this isnt a rumor.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:56:29

bEtHyBoP13 it the queens birthday i think :) so cool i want to soo go when it opens

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 13:57:27

I dont know how likely it is that the trio, being such "stars" as they are now, would be caught dead filming something for an amusement park, regardless of the subject. It wouldnt be "artistically rewarding", or whatever BS mumbo jumbo actors say to mean that it doesnt pay enough. I will be skeptical until proven wrong.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 14:09:13

haha thats awesome. It would be so lame if they had different people acting out the roles. I think its cool they got them to do this.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 14:22:27

Oo, thats pretty interesting. I bet they would be like pre-show movies, like some rides at Disney World have (such as Tower of Terror or Test Track).

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 14:23:09

Cool..... I wounder what will be in it.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 14:41:39

Awesome idea, but we get the Mirror delivered daily (due to my stepmums reliance on celebrity news, and the Mirror seemingly acts as a tabloid form of a gossip magazine), and trust me, the Mirror really can spew some guff. So, fingers crossed, but I doubt this is legitimate.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 14:49:01

COOOOOOL! I cant wait. But by the time its built Ill probably have kids.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 15:11:07

OMG!!! YAY THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! I DONT KNOW WUTS WRONG WITH THE PPL WHO R SAYIN THE THEMEPARK IS GONNA GO BAD IT CANT!! IM SO EXCITED

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 15:11:53

You forgot Rock N Rollercoaster, hpintwense06! They have a mini clip before you get on (best coaster EVER!)... I hope this is true! That would be freakin awesome!!!! Maybe I could go to the theme park for my 16th birthday! That would be awesome! Itll be open by then... Or should be. Again, I hope this is true!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 16:01:27

This park just keeps sounding better and better....after all the hype it will obviously get I hope it wont be a let down....XD

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 16:05:22

There is a Spiderman ride at that same park, where Toby Maguires voice is used as his character is interacting with you on the ride. It is a moving simulator ride that uses a multiple movie screens, so it could possible for this story to be true. I am very excited about the new Harry rides at the park and there is no way it will disappoint. Ill be there on day one for sure:) I think passholders will get to "test" the rides first, since that is what they did when the new Simpsons ride came out.

Ooooooh! Will we be able to buy these mini-stories in a book?? You can tell JKR was just itching to do something more!!! She must be bored.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 16:41:38

Totally random comment, but, who else wants to ride a coaster right now??? Im going insane! I. Want. To. Ride. The. Rockin. Rollercoaster!!!! Or Soarin... Or Tower of Terror. Too bad I live in Alabama and Disney isnt close by. Only 13-15 hours by car. I would know. The jazz band and choral ensemble drove there in April.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 16:55:46

Haha I like your comment Fia. I just got back from Disney World less than an hour ago. Soarin is the BEST! I had never been on it before, and I was so excited. I didnt get to go on Rockin Rollercoaster, though. I cant wait until the Harry Potter thing opens at Universal so I can ride rollercoasters there!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 17:28:30

Oh yeah! How was Disney? Wasnt it pure AWESOMNESS? The choral ensembleand jazz band were considered honorary cast members at Disney... We stayed for 4 days. And when we sang, the dudes screwed the CDs up, plus it was boiling! We had to wear khaki pants and black polos. But we could change into shorts after. I wanted to ride Test Track that night, but my friends boyfriend said the line wasnt moving. We rode Soarin (the wait was over 80 minutes) and they still hadnt moved. But, yes, Soarin was the best! I still think the Rockin Rollercoaster is the best coaster! I love the speed! We have to go to the Potter theme park together thepottertwins and ride every coaster!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 17:34:39

that sounds awesome. Was the mirror the one that first reported the DH split or was that another paper?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 17:35:30

I think another paper... Not too sure, though.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 17:41:06

Hope its true... That would just be mean if it wasnt I wonder what the scenes would be about? An Average Day at Hogwarts with special guests Harry, Hermione and Ron?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 17:44:28

LOL! I have no clue... I wonder what rides therell be? Will there be a quidditch ride, where you get to ride a broomstick and play quidditch?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 17:55:03

I hope to see the theme park very soon, but that any one knows about the trailer for HP6 I want to see that sooner. I am very graceful all the things they are doing for this park. GO JK, GO!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 17:58:50

oooh! Or a forbidden forest ride! You could ride in the Ford Angela! I wonder if youll be sorted??

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 18:34:09

I miss the Rockin Roller coaster! :(

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 19:01:13

That sounds pretty far-fetched, i think. Yeah... thats a little unbelievable... ~MM~

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 20:34:04

Fia - Yep, cant forget the Rockin Roller Coaster! Its pretty much my favorite ride, next to Tower of Terror.... ohh but I love so many rides at Disney that its hard to decide, lol.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 21:03:43

:D omg how exciting ! i live in miami FL & im graduating in 2010 !

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 21:08:57

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 21:17:37

Im turning 16 in late 2009!!! I wonder if the park will be open then....?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-15 22:02:05

I dont have to worry about going or not going to the theme park, because I will be one of the hp fans going when the park opens, with out a dougt!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 04:59:38

it could be the cheesiest corniest place on earth with the worst rides and shops in the world, and wed still arive in hoards, if only to complain about it.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 07:02:09

the mirror is a source in that way that the crazy hobo on your street corner that yells at you that the worlds going to end is a source. i mean, the world IS going to end (someday). so sure, this is possibly absolutely true.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 07:20:13

You know, I always thought this was stupid, the whole theme park thing. Cheese, corn, and all that. But... if this IS true, wow. Theyre actually being serious about it. I mean, I wont make a special trip to Florida (especially in my poor college student status,) but if I was in the area I would certainly show up and see what it was al about. In other news, TRAILER! TRAILER! TRAILER! *walks in circle with picket sign*

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 09:27:45

*jaw drops* a new story... A NEW STORY!!!!! *runs around house screaming* I knew the fandom wouldnt end! *dances*

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 09:48:21

I wouldnt get too excited about the "new story". The rides are short, so the story may only have a few lines before you get into the action of the thing. The other rides that have a "story" arent anything groundbreaking, they are actually pretty forced. It isnt going to be anything better than that prequel. The spiderman ride starts with spiderman saying, "what are you doing here, this is dangerous. Well stay back and I will get us out of this" or something cheesy like that and then you ride through the rest of the action. So that could be all there is to the "new story".

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 09:53:28

OR, it could be really good!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 11:10:13

He he he he................ : ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 14:19:28

Hells Yea theyd make a theme park for Harry Potter!! I dont know if you guys remember, but a few months ago i messaged you saying how cool it would be to make a Harry Potter Theme park. I dont know if the idea was already started, but i didnt know! SO ITS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!! I bet the bits for the rides are just going to the deleted scenes that they cut out of the movies. The extras.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 14:58:27

I LOVE the opening ride movies. I was so entertained in line for Mummy at Universal, Im excited to matter what it is, theyre usually hilarious. No, nothing plot revealing Im sure, but probably pretty entertaining.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 17:18:50

So true, roadtripkaraoke! Another random thought (or comment) of mine: Does anyone find it odd that I live in Bama and call my mom "mum"? And that I only started saying that because of Harry Potter? Just curious! :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-16 23:13:33

This is going to be the greatest thing ever. I live an hour from the park and get alot of inside scoop from employees there. Apparently JK Rowlings opions and input are regarded as the highest of importance. She has a VERY hands on role with the new theme park. From what Ive been told by upper management she had a HUGE say in wether Disney or Universal got the grant for the park after their bidding presentation to get the rights. Universals presentation and royalty bid was massive compared to that of what Disney offered. I am so excited!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-17 06:00:57

Oh that would be great !! I hope this is not just a rumor! This theme park is going to be soooooooooooooo great!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-17 16:27:06

Cocktailmunky and all the other Florida people: We should all arrange to meet up to visit the park when it opens:)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2008-06-17 18:45:40

it all sounds very exciting..too bad nearly all the news on the sunday mirror turns out to be false :(
