Explore Hogwarts at Universal Orlando
Hogwarts castle is almost finished…
The Hogwarts Express is ready to run…
Hagrid has a Hippogriff poised to take on riders…
Harry, Ron and Hermione have been spotted, some say…
Be careful, there’s a rumour that Malfoy and his cronies are lurking around the corner…
In the meantime, stop by Zonko’s joke shop for some extendable ears. Pop into The Three Broomsticks for some authentic Butterbeer. Enjoy some candy from Honeydukes. See if a wand chooses you at Ollivanders. Send a Hogsmeade postmarked letter at the real Owl Post post office.
Then take a ride on the best, most technologically advanced attraction ride in Orlando.
At least, that’s what they claim…And it’s coming this spring to Universal Orlando. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be a new section in Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park. Of course, the lucky readers of my blog will find out all about it first, right here. In the meantime, you can whet your whistle at this website:

(Our Universal Rep was quick to remind everyone that “spring” officially ends on June 20th and was then quick to assure us Harry Potter would open “this spring”)
Until then, here’s a sneak preview for you…
