Ya'll are so lucky to be there. I wish I could go there. I wish I could be one of those kids. Hope you had fun. Bring back tons of pictures and videos. -Ravenclaw

Wow! Jo looks amazing! If I were her I would be in shock of how wonderful it all turned out!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-18 16:11:58

Wow! Imagine what happiness she must be feeling! :) I've always wanted to meet her! And I LOVE her shoes!!!!!!

Imagine how she must be feeling. Her entire fictional world made real.

I'm going this week and I am so, so excited! It looks so fantastic! I'm just dreading the lines and crowds. I wish I could be there today! Is this the only day the cast will be there?

She really looks beautifull. I think i'd be nervous if i had to talk with her about what she thought of the park. The park is truly incredible, but can you imagine if she said that she didnt like it???....... God what am i talking about, LUAN KRYEZIU i agree with what you are saying, and i think she cant be any more proud about the job that has been done... I really need to go and cant wait for DH!

Jo looks gorgeous! :D I love the butterbeer guy on the walking photo, he's just like... 'Woah! That's J.K Rowling!' ha! And too right. I'd be terrified to be Mark Woodbury right then! Taking the person who first imagined this world around his version of their dream? Scary stuff indeed!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-18 17:17:04

haha she looks awesome as usual :) love her shoes, lmfao! but imagine actually being there and seeing the world that YOU yourself created, i'd being crying if i were her!! ...

It must be so amazing to have a theme park made from an idea you had while traveling on a train somewhere. It all looks so great and just how I pictured and I can't wait to go.

Howdy Pards, Jo IS beautiful. She gave the entire world the gift of her imagination and look how the world is expressing their love for that gift! I believe that today was the very first time that Universal got a good idea of just how popular this place is gonna be. Did you see the sea of smiling faces? And nobody seemed to be having more fun than the stars who were in the park...Dan was like a kid in a candy store...the way he and Michael led those young ones into the park...and all the stars seemed to be having great fun. Yep, J.K. Rowling has very good reason to be proud of the newest celebration of her wonderful imagination...the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Can't wait for about a two or three hour Mini-Mugglecast bringing us all up to date. Adios for now. Talk to ya on down the trail. Wild Ol' Dan

These pictures were taken on Wednesday afternoon before the VIP grand opening. I was playing in the orchestra that performed with John Williams at the grand opening and I saw her walk out into the park in that outfit before we were supposed to have a rehearsal that got rained out.

It must be so cool for her to see her book come to life. You rock JKR!

Jo looks great and REALLY happy. Then again, who wouldnt be happy if they had created a totally imaginary world that became a HUGE hit and is now being made into a theme park! Jo is my ultimate idol. She seems so down to Earth and overally kind. Then again, as much as i would LOVE to meet her, I'd probably be mumbling like an idiot at a loss for words the entire time I was talking with her. I'd be overwelmed if I was Mark Woodbury!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-18 19:43:24

This is so amazing! I'm so happy for her. A theme park must have been beyond her wildest dreams. Can you imagine? Sitting in a cafe, scribbling on napkins, never knowing this was in the future. I wish I could tell her how much I love Harry and his world! If I could just shake her hand... I agree with Kathryn, though-- if I ever met her face to face I would probably make a fool of myself. Not that I wouldn't relish any opportunity to make some sort of impression. In case Jo reads this (which is unlikely, but nevertheless), thank you so much for Harry! He makes life that much more worth living.

i wish i couldve went and met her. that wouldve been the best day of my life... in the meantime, ive thought of a few things they should do to hogwarts at the wizarding world of harry potter: they need to create the great hall for people to be able to go in. and they need to make it so you can go in the courtyard right outside of entrance hall.. they also need to make it so you can go to the top of the astronomy tower for a view of the park, that would be so awesome. i hope someone at universal thinks of this.

Why is she wearing heels though? at an amusement park..... jeez but she is very beautiful. im happy she was able to enjoy it!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 07:09:24

Nice pictures! Thanks for sharing!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 07:33:24

Why IS she wearing heels? Great pics though!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 08:10:26

i love her. to me, she is like a pagan goddess. she looks beautiful.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 08:20:58

she is absolutely amazing! I hope she was happy with the park. She gave so much to so many people, and I'm just happy that we were able to give something back to her( the park)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 10:31:19

And it all just came from her imagination...what an amazing thing!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 11:05:20

She probobly wouldn't have admitted it but I bet this impacted her in more ways than we think....she says shes not to revisit HP in her writing for a very very long time, if she even does at all. How much you want to bet that this has sparked her old love and races home to Edinburgh and starts writing again in secret and suprises the world with more from the Wizarding World! Aaaaaaah wouldn't that be MAGICAL!!!!!! ****I wish, I wish, upon a star*******

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 12:24:09

It’s incredible that its finally all come together. Now that the movies are finishing up, this is pretty cool.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 15:46:27

Goodness gracious that woman is so lovely. And of course, the reason for half the happiness in our lives. :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-19 17:11:23

@alli young....I agree with you. and O0Amy0O..I agree with you. I thought it was a great picture...maybe I'll change my desktop wallpaper or screensaver to this!!!!! (and I love Jo's dress)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-20 00:11:46

I really hoped she liked it. She is amazing. This must be so crazy for her. And by the way I am jealous of everyone who is going soon. The soonest I might get to go is next April and that would have to be really lucky circumstances.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-21 02:33:54

This must be so crazy for her, standing there in the world she created...I hope she liked it! And she looks absolutely stunning!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-21 09:30:40

So I'm guessing that the video w/audio (note her mic) will all appear as extra features on the next two DVD's? That will be so cool.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2010-06-21 09:34:39

She must be thrilled. I cant even begin to imagine how this feels. First she was a single mom writing in a café. Then the books turned icredibly famous, making them the most succesful of all time. Then the most succesful movie series of all time. And now a theme park. I cant imagine what she feels when she watches each movie, seeing everything she wrote coming to life in an epic and awesome and well-made way. And now, what she must be feeling whilst STANDING in the world she created. She must be the happiest woman ever; i know i'd be the happiest guy. Thank you so much jo for being the best author and person ever. Enjoy!! CANT WAIT FOR DH!!!

Yes, Jo is beautiful! Congrats, Jo, your dream came true. Thank you!

December 4, 2008 - J.K. Rowling's The Tales of Beedle the Bard is released in the United States and United Kingdom. To the dismay of some Potter fans, many bookstores did not hold midnight release parties like they did for other books in the Potter series.
