Wizarding World signs appear at Universal
IOACentral has some new photos online from Universal Studios, where cryptic signs are appearing on construction walls surrounding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.The photos are different from normal promo signs in that they depict no Harry Potter logo. Instead, each sign has two owls, a castle (Hogwarts), and a village (Hogsmeade). Additional photos show that the Enchanted Oak, rumored to be turned into something Potter-related, is already being torn down.
We'll keep you updated! Thanks to Drew for the tip.

yayy for everything Harry Potter related.!! I CAN'T WAiT!!
it looks okay, but slightly disney-ifyed
WOOAAH! im so excited! i really hope i can work there during college summers... only in my dreams did i actually think i could enter the wizardring world.
awesome dude!
YAY! im going there next week!
Is it possible that they're changing the Enchanted Oak to the Whomping Willow??
Oooh! Maybe!
By the looks of the signs, it just seems to confirm what we already know: that there will be a Hogwarts area and a Hogsmeade area... and some owls :P
Babowika, good idea! this is awesome
Cool! can't wait til it opens!!!!
Well I don't hate the logo, but it seems kinda bland...Reminds me of that blue and white china that everyone seems to have, but no one really likes. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited as heck, and i have to admit that a logo is hard to make, but blue and white? WHHHYYYY???

ooc: *is reading page* What the---? THEY'RE DEMOLISHING THE ENCHANTED OAK? But...its so pwetty ;_;
I was just there on Wednesday and I saw the sign and when I got close to it realized it wasn't anything HP related so it was kind of a let down. They have the whole oak already blocked off and were jack hammering away at it while I was waiting for dueling dragons. There are a lot of buildings going up now though so it was rather exciting. I go about once a month, if I would have known the signs would cause this much of a stir I would have reported it earlier.
Why in the world did I write 'ooc'? I spend to much time roleplaying -.- Anyway, @jagnum1fan: I thought Dueling Dragons was closed off?
i was there yesterday, and i got a good look at the signs! i took a pic with my cell phone and people looked at me like i was crazy for taking pictures of a wall :D oh well, i am superr excited for the park!
tottaly exicted!! :) *skips happily away*
I want to go like heck! Yessssss, go we must!
COOL!!! SECERT HARRY POTTER CODES, BUT IN PICTURES, INSTEAD OF WORDS!!!
i really hope i can go there. if i cant i'll be sad :( anyways i think it will rock! really.
Hope they have the Hogwarts Express train. And Honeydukes. And a lot of shops. I wonder if any of the wizarding bands can play there occasionally? And maybe, Mugglecast can do a live podcast when they first open the park?
I can't wait to go get a pic of that!!!!!!!!!! :D
Just the thought of seeing Hogwarts Castle makes me so happy. :) I can't wait for this part to fricken open, omg!
I'm top 40, this is awesome, I am very glad that I live in California and be ready for this park when is open, I am ready for the movies too.
i agree w/ Babowika..they probz got it wrong and had to change it...i don't see how they could have a hogwarts w/out a whomping willow...furthermore...i hope they have a diagon ally! so crucial to the whole potter series. i'd be so disappointed if they don't have one! :(
Exactly one year ago we were all standing in line waiting for the last Harry Potter book..having fun...talking excitedly to each other..destroying our voice when counting down to zero...getting no sleep at all the following night... OH HOW I MISS IT!
um....wow. that is officially all i can say.
It's things like these that make me wish I didn't live so far up in North America!
Yes sniffle... it's the aniversery of when i went to borders at midnight for the last time. I did not sleep on DH night, not the next day, and i finished at 11:57 on the night of the 21st. That night i had nightmares of the battle of hogwarts...Lol
Exciting! And, yes, happy anniversary to the DH midnight parties ... I remember that day ....
IM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT YEAR MY SISTER GRADUATES FROM HIGHSCHOOL SO IM GOING TO MAKE MY PARENTS TAKE US TO FLORIDA FOR HER GRADUATION GIFT SO I CAN GO TO THE HARRY POTTER THEME PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA MY PLAN IS EVIL YET BRILLIANT!!!!!! **--- Luna ---**
i was down in universal last week and when i saw the signs i was soo excited!
I cannot wait for this park!! But I agree that the tree will probably be turned into the Whomping Willow.
Apparently the Enchanted Oak Tavern will be turned into the Three Broomsticks. Why do people think it will become The Whomping Willow? Because the building's exterior was already a tree? That makes no sense. The Enchanted oak building interior is already a restaurant (a nice one,too) and the restaurant infrastructure is already there, so it would make more sense to use it. It wouldn't be that hard to change the interior of the Enchanted Oak into The Three Broomsticks.
there is a website with HBP trailer... take a look... this is the URL http://www1.folha.uo l.com.br/folha/videocasts /ult10038u423414.shtml E njoy
