One more movie. No more books. A generation of Harry Potter children is entering if not well into its twenties. With all the makings of a series seeping back into history, what does the world of Potter and his friends have left to keep the story alive?
The ultimate preservation of fiction--a theme park.
Universal Orlando Resort, along with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, announced recently that it will open "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" sometime next spring. J.K. Rowling herself and team members from the films are collaborating to make sure the experience is as "authentic" as it can be, according to the Web site's press release.
This authenticity includes many details right down to guests' ability to purchase Extendable Ears at gift shops and drink Butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks.
Hogwarts Castle, the centerpiece of the majority of the novels, will feature no less detail than the rest of the park and encompass aspects from all the books in the series.
The park will situated as another island in the Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Fl.
The intricacies and detail put into this entire project will surely make it a completely memorable experience for both old devotees and new generations of Harry Potter fans to come.
