It looks like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Universal Orlando is nearing exterior completion, as this morning NBC's TODAY Show broadcasted from within the park to promote their Wizarding World contest.

This was the first official, real video from within the park. The Today Show anchor stood by the Hogwarts Express as it billowed steam. They also cut to b-roll while he spoke, which revealed the Honeydukes storefront, the entrance to Hogsmeade, and a top hat-wearing skeleton in a storefront.

As a reminder, their contest for a school class to win a trip to the opening of the park ends March 26th.
