Earlier today, Eric told you that the Phelps twins visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park yesterday. They were spotted filming a video.

In an article from the Orlando Sentinel, it was revealed that “Harry Potter” stars James and Oliver Phelps were spotted in Orlando, FL yesterday at Universal Studios’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park. Not only were the actors, who play twins Fred and George Weasley, on site entertaining fans – but they were recording something professionally in front of the Hogwarts castle.

The latest attendance numbers for Universal Orlando are in, and the resort continues to see big numbers thanks to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.

The Mirror is reporting that two Wizarding World parks are being planned for the United Kingdom and South Korea.

Universal has passed along two photos of Jennette McCurdy – best known for her role on the Nickelodeon show iCarly – visiting Universal Orlando yesterday.

Universal has released two images of comedian Jon Stewart visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park with his one son and two newphews:

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: Universal Orlando is planning on expanding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.  It has been a huge success and they want to keep the buzz going.  Not to mention they’re contractually obligated to update it every couple years.

Universal Orlando reported its best fourth quarter ever in 2010, and its highest attendance in six years, thanks in large part to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

A staggering 11.2 million people visited the Orlando-based theme park last year. That’s a 20 percent increase from the year before.
