Rowling pens story for theme park mini-movie
The Sunday Mirror reported earlier today that Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has written a story that is set to become a mini-movie used at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter when it opens in late 2009 or early 2010.Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are said to shoot the mini-movie prior to initial filming of Deathly Hallows. The article stated:
"They are also working on extra sequences and clips which will be part of the rides."
Rowling has reportedly been involved throughout the process. Please treat this as a rumor for now as The Mirror is not the most reliable news source.

Oh, she rocks!
thats soo cool! wishi could go there 3RD!
I highly doubt it... it seems sketchy
no f*cking way! that is soo sick!
Ah awesoe. ROADTRIP WHEN IT COME SOUT!!
IF it's true, sounds like the All God's Village walkthough movie thing that was in a Japanese themepark a long while ago. I wish I had seen it. I suppose, depending upon this mini story she may or may not have wrote, I'd like to see this too.
I can't wait!! So much new stuff!
That would be awesome!!!
Oh, please let it be true! I want more HP stories!!! JKR rocks!
cool any ideas what its gonna be about?? Zonkos all the way
I am super excited!
cool cant wait for the park
not the most reliable source - you can say that again!
Wow, that's really cool! I really hope I get to go some day - maybe not as soon as it opens but that doesn't matter! This story reminds me of the mini-movie thing that was done for like, Red Nose Day or Children in Need or something special which was something to do with a crown..it's on youtube somewhere..anyone know what I'm on about?
I hope this is true because I think it's neat that JKRowling would get so involved with this park and they should use the trio for scenes for the park as well. Cool :)
OMG OMG OMG! This is beyond amazing! I hope that this isn't a rumor.
bEtHyBoP13 it the queens birthday i think :) so cool i want to soo go when it opens
I don't know how likely it is that the trio, being such "stars" as they are now, would be caught dead filming something for an amusement park, regardless of the subject. It wouldn't be "artistically rewarding", or whatever BS mumbo jumbo actors say to mean that it doesn't pay enough. I will be skeptical until proven wrong.
haha that's awesome. It would be so lame if they had different people acting out the roles. I think it's cool they got them to do this.
Oo, that's pretty interesting. I bet they would be like pre-show movies, like some rides at Disney World have (such as Tower of Terror or Test Track).
Cool..... I wounder what will be in it.
Awesome idea, but we get the Mirror delivered daily (due to my stepmum's reliance on celebrity news, and the Mirror seemingly acts as a tabloid form of a gossip magazine), and trust me, the Mirror really can spew some guff. So, fingers crossed, but I doubt this is legitimate.
COOOOOOL! I can't wait. But by the time it's built I'll probably have kids.
OMG!!! YAY THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! I DONT KNOW WUTS WRONG WITH THE PPL WHO R SAYIN THE THEMEPARK IS GONNA GO BAD IT CANT!! IM SO EXCITED
You forgot Rock 'N' Rollercoaster, hpintwense06! They have a mini clip before you get on (best coaster EVER!)... I hope this is true! That would be freakin' awesome!!!! Maybe I could go to the theme park for my 16th birthday! That would be awesome! It'll be open by then... Or should be. Again, I hope this is true!
This park just keeps sounding better and better....after all the hype it will obviously get I hope it won't be a let down....XD
There is a Spiderman ride at that same park, where Toby Maguire's voice is used as his character is interacting with you on the ride. It is a moving simulator ride that uses a multiple movie screens, so it could possible for this story to be true. I am very excited about the new Harry rides at the park and there is no way it will disappoint. I'll be there on day one for sure:) I think passholders will get to "test" the rides first, since that is what they did when the new Simpson's ride came out.

Ooooooh! Will we be able to buy these mini-stories in a book?? You can tell JKR was just itching to do something more!!! She must be bored.
Totally random comment, but, who else wants to ride a coaster right now??? I'm going insane! I. Want. To. Ride. The. Rockin'. Rollercoaster!!!! Or Soarin'... Or Tower of Terror. Too bad I live in Alabama and Disney isn't close by. Only 13-15 hours by car. I would know. The jazz band and choral ensemble drove there in April.
Haha I like your comment Fia. I just got back from Disney World less than an hour ago. Soarin' is the BEST! I had never been on it before, and I was so excited. I didn't get to go on Rockin' Rollercoaster, though. I can't wait until the Harry Potter thing opens at Universal so I can ride rollercoasters there!!!
Oh yeah! How was Disney? Wasn't it pure AWESOMNESS? The choral ensembleand jazz band were considered honorary cast members at Disney... We stayed for 4 days. And when we sang, the dudes screwed the CD's up, plus it was boiling! We had to wear khaki pants and black polos. But we could change into shorts after. I wanted to ride Test Track that night, but my friend's boyfriend said the line wasn't moving. We rode Soarin' (the wait was over 80 minutes) and they still hadn't moved. But, yes, Soarin' was the best! I still think the Rockin' Rollercoaster is the best coaster! I love the speed! We have to go to the Potter theme park together thepottertwins and ride every coaster!!!
that sounds awesome. Was the mirror the one that first reported the DH split or was that another paper?
I think another paper... Not too sure, though.
Hope it's true... That would just be mean if it wasn't I wonder what the scenes would be about? An Average Day at Hogwarts with special guests Harry, Hermione and Ron?
LOL! I have no clue... I wonder what rides there'll be? Will there be a quidditch ride, where you get to ride a broomstick and play quidditch?
I hope to see the theme park very soon, but that any one knows about the trailer for HP6 I want to see that sooner. I am very graceful all the things they are doing for this park. GO JK, GO!!!!
oooh! Or a forbidden forest ride! You could ride in the Ford Angela! I wonder if you'll be sorted??
I miss the Rockin' Roller coaster! :(
That sounds pretty far-fetched, i think. Yeah... that's a little unbelievable... ~MM~
Fia - Yep, can't forget the Rockin' Roller Coaster! It's pretty much my favorite ride, next to Tower of Terror.... ohh but I love so many rides at Disney that it's hard to decide, lol.
:D omg how exciting ! i live in miami FL & i'm graduating in 2010 !
although im not complaning about the moini story that JKR is coming up with im actually excited :D i just dont understand what they want to do ... someone please explain what she's trying to do... but yay ! more stories ((((: someone explain pleaseee :/ iloveJKR&harrypotte r
I'm turning 16 in late 2009!!! I wonder if the park will be open then....?
I don't have to worry about going or not going to the theme park, because I will be one of the hp fans going when the park opens, with out a dougt!!!
it could be the cheesiest corniest place on earth with the worst rides and shops in the world, and we'd still arive in hoards, if only to complain about it.
the mirror is a source in that way that the crazy hobo on your street corner that yells at you that the world's going to end is a source. i mean, the world IS going to end (someday). so sure, this is possibly absolutely true.
You know, I always thought this was stupid, the whole theme park thing. Cheese, corn, and all that. But... if this IS true, wow. They're actually being serious about it. I mean, I won't make a special trip to Florida (especially in my poor college student status,) but if I was in the area I would certainly show up and see what it was al about. In other news, TRAILER! TRAILER! TRAILER! *walks in circle with picket sign*
*jaw drops* a new story... A NEW STORY!!!!! *runs around house screaming* I knew the fandom wouldn't end! *dances*
I wouldn't get too excited about the "new story". The rides are short, so the story may only have a few lines before you get into the action of the thing. The other rides that have a "story" aren't anything groundbreaking, they are actually pretty forced. It isn't going to be anything better than that prequel. The spiderman ride starts with spiderman saying, "what are you doing here, this is dangerous. Well stay back and I will get us out of this" or something cheesy like that and then you ride through the rest of the action. So that could be all there is to the "new story".
