A theme park enthusiast has recently posted new photos from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, where construction is currently taking place. These new photos give us our greatest look at the park's detail thus far, as we get to see several different walls and areas for Hogwarts that appear complete. See them all on Vinylnation. Thanks to Emily for the tip!

Finally, Hogwarts its beginning to take shape. But judging from the size of those windows of the Great Hall, it seems the castle wont look THAT big...Still...AWESOME

Sweet! And I have to agree with javan_weasley, it has been a long time since the last MuggleCast. I cant tell you how much I miss the casters :/

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-03 19:13:36

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-03 21:08:58

I think I am the only one who does not like the idea of this. I feel it ruins the books pure form. I am really upset about it. Yes the movies are okay and very good but they still strip down the book to almost nothing and you loose a lot of great stuff in the movies.. BUT A THEME PARK?! come on now. You are killing something so great for rides?! Its going to be little kids and people who didnt grow up with harry through-out their school years and in the end its just a way to make money :( its really upset for me, someone who has loved harry from the beginning.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-04 00:03:06

chellemitlerber, I have also loved Harry from the beginning, and therefore think its a fantastic idea.

I dont understand how the theme park "ruins" or "kills" the books. I am eagerly awaiting the parks opening, yet I still love the books as much as I always have and dont see them any differently. They honestly are unrelated, and we should be happy we are fans of something that has such wide appeal, its being realized in so many ways (books, movies, theme park, games, etc) for us to enjoy and appreciate. Furthermore, we need to remember that Jo herself is supportive of this and thinks its amazing--she obviously isnt absurdly saying that its ruining her lifes work.

i think its amazing theyre actually building hogwarts and hogsmeade its great for people who have always wanted to be a part of the world of harry potter and feel like a student walking around the castle so its really amazing what they are doing to be honest the boks are amazing and they have alot more information about harrys world but if you watch the movies its the imagination of a person that truely comes to life i mean think of people who dont really have a good imagination .i wonder how hogwarts or hogsmeade or any of tthese places wud look to them [theyd probably be lost] so its great that these people have come together to create this world

Oh so exciting, can not wait!! Wish they would announce an offical opening as I am dying to book flights!!! I dont think it will ruin the books - its just an extension of the theme. I was at Islands of adventures last year and even seeing the Ministry Decrees was exciting - looks like there is loads of work going on. Can not wait!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-04 08:37:27

yay!! how exciting!

so its funny that i sent this link to them about two weeks ago when they had new images up from this site before. good looking out, mugglenet.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-04 10:43:57

to clarify. I realize Rowling supported this but in still, for someone who is a lover of books, i feel dissapointed . Obviously like i had stated before, this was my opinion and I that i did state I was probably the only one who felt this way (1 out of a million). Its just how i feel since i grew up with harry. I would like to leave it with my imagination.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-04 18:02:50

That looks really fun. to bad it is too expensive for me to even think about going there

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-06-04 21:10:45

I think it looks fantastic! The snow really looks... real! haha. I cant wait to be able to go to the park when its finished! :-D

I really wish everyone would stop calling The Wizarding World of Harry Potter a theme park. Its not a theme park. Its a themed section/land *INSIDE* of Universal Orlandos Islands of Adventure theme park. its going to be about the same size as all of the other themed islands, such as Jurassic Park, Suess Landing, Toon Lagoon, and Marvel Super Hero Island. But thanks so much for posting a link to these pictures! Everything looks great so far. I cant wait to see how everything comes together. I especially cant wait to see what kind of attractions and experiences are going to be included!

i sooooooooo cant wait just hope it is finished and open by november nxt yr
