Harry Potter has not only invaded our lives on the movie screen and in books but now he's invading our theme parks. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be opening at Islands of Adventure sometime in 2010. This will be the first fully immersive Harry Potter themed area based on the world's most popular and famous wizard.
This new area will give guests a one-of-a-kind chance to step into the magical world of Harry and his friends. The area will give guests the opportunity to visit some of the magical locations found in the books and films including Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts Castle. This area will feature rides, interactive attractions, shops and restaurants that will bring to life the world of Harry Potter.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be taking over part of what is/was the Lost Continent as well as some undeveloped area that has not been in use and will compare in size to the other islands already within the park. Universal has not, as of yet, released any specific details on the new state-of-the-art attraction that is to be built for this area. Keep checking back for more information on this much anticipated addition to Islands of Adventure and Universal Orlando.
