Over the last year I’ve eaten a few times at the Hog’s Head in Hogsmeade. The food is good yet traditional, and I would say that holds true for the fare at the Leaky Cauldron. I love that Universal is providing visitors with two mostly completely different menus, new drinks, new desserts, the works. It makes both restaurants an absolute MUST for visitors. Just save room for the Butterbeer soft serve.
This last week, MuggleNet was down in Orlando, Florida, at Universal Orlando Resort for a VIP/media preview of the all-new Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley expansion. No doubt you’ve seen the trailers, the photos, the interviews, and the endless pictures of people standing on benches trying to get a glimpse – and all of that stuff is great. But what you can’t see is the absolute best part of the park – the inherent magic.
Want to see Matt Lewis get punched by the Hulk? Then check out this week’s Twitter roundup! Also includes a sneak peek of Diagon Alley and Tom Felton working it in yet more Burberry.
As you know, the media preview of Diagon Alley is ongoing, and we’ve got even more awesome material for you today – cast Q&As!
As I’m sure you’ll be aware, over the last few days some MuggleNet staff members were lucky enough to be at the preview event for Diagon Alley! Last night saw the preview of Diagon Alley itself take place, and we were able to get lots of pictures and videos as the event happened. If you missed out on seeing the pictures as they were posted, check them all out below in our handy roundup, and look out for a full report coming soon!
“Attractions Magazine” has posted some exciting new photos of the Diagon Alley/London expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
There have been rumors circulating the web about the potential introduction of interactive wands at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando. Now, thanks to the Universal Orlando blog, we have confirmation of this exciting feature, as well as our first look at the wands in action with none other than James and Oliver Phelps and Bonnie Wright!

As we mentioned earlier, this week is the VIP and media preview week at the Diagon Alley expansion at Universal Studios! The Universal Orlando blog has just released a list of “Harry Potter” cast members who will be in attendance!
We’ve been waiting what seems like forever to find out when Universal Orlando will announce the opening date to the newest addition to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and FINALLY, we have more information!

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
