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.
It’s been a while since it was announced that Orlando was planning on expanding its Wizarding World Theme Park, but recently more vertical structures of the expansion have appeared. The images first surfaced on the Mice Chat Orlando Park Hopper blog.
Universal has been working for awhile to finish this expansion, but an exact opening is not certain. This quote by Dyer hints at the possibility of seeing results by next summer, 16 months away. We can speculate whether we think this opening is plausible, but keep in mind that nothing has been confirmed by Universal or Warner Brothers.

Just recently, we reported that tickets are now available for the Quidditch World Cup taking place in Kissimmee, Florida on April 13 and 14. If you are planning to attend the event, you can now purchase your tickets for the most memorable after party in a very magical location.
Rumors say the Harry Potter characters will appear in the queue for the ride and celebrate a new school year. The line to ride the train will obviously be a lengthy one, so the storyline may imply that the long lines are due to the new school year at Hogwarts beginning.
With the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Japan underway to open in 2014, we now have a first look at the advertisement that will be seen on the train at Universal City Station in Osaka, Japan.
While Warner Bros. keeps its lips sealed on the rumored expansion, new photos of Gringotts Bank provide evidence of the growing Wizarding World.
MuggleNet reported just a few days ago that construction had begun at Universal Studios Hollywood for their new Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction, and it seems Universal Studios Japan at Osaka has followed suit!
Although there certainly isn’t any notable construction pieces, like Hogwarts or Hogsmeade at this point in time, we can now officially announce that construction has indeed begun at Universal Studios Hollywood for another Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.
