Fun times are ahead at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the start of the next year. From January 24-26 2014, Universal Orlando is hosting A Celebration of Harry Potter 3-day event at the park.
Southwest Airlines, the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, and the parenting website MomitForward have teamed up to bring you a chance to win a vacation to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Orlando August 21-24, 2013!
While The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Hollywood, California may not be open to the public for another three years, rumors about the new magical addition to the West Coast park have already started to circulate around the web. Here are some of the rumors in brief collected by BehindTheThrills.com.
After finally confirming the expansion of Orlando’s Wizarding World last week, Thierry Coup, senior vice president of Universal Creative, spoke with Fox News about the latest changes and what will be on offer when it opens to customers. Speaking with Ricky Brigante (Fox News), Coup discussed the reasons behind the extension, the logistics of the new attractions, including the Hogwarts Express, as well as hinting at which attractions shall be featured in Diagon Alley.
Behind The Thrills today received the above photograph (blown up slightly) from an anonymous Universal Studios park-goer earlier this afternoon which reportedly captures a shot of what’s believed to be Florida Governor Rick Scott, alongside none other than creator of all the magic herself – J.K. Rowling!
After months and months of waiting and speculating, the time has come: Universal Orlando Resort and Warner Bros. Entertainment have OFFICIALLY announced the the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley expansion and added that the park will in fact open in 2014.
It’s been a long time coming, but the announcement from NBCUniversal confirming the construction of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood has finally arrived!
MuggleNet recently visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and – during chats with a few key (read: authorized to share) staff members – learned some exclusive information about the still “technically” rumored theme park expansion. The new information confirms most of what we have already heard – Gringotts, Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Express, etc. – but this time, details are finally revealed.
In a new video released by Attractions Magazine, it is clear that the expansion area at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Universal Orlando is growing rapidly. It has been reported by news agencies that the new expansion area (which is still technically “rumored” at this time) will be opening up in the summer of 2014.
