In case you woke up this morning and thoughts “I wish Katniss and Hermione had a rap battle”…

Isn’t this just a cup full of caramel sundae topping at this point?
Even these few pictures make the attraction look impressive.
Last time “spring” meant June 18. This time, I am hoping it means mid-May.
They are making insane progress with the new Diagon Alley. I am crossing my fingers that it is open by May of next year.
Heidi MacDonald At The Beat:
WB and J.K. Rowling have agreed to make more films set in the Harry Potter universe. The first film will be written b Rowling herself and based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a slim volume of lore taken from the Potterverse invented word. The film will star Newt Scamander, a cryptozoology-obssessed wizard who eventually became headmaster of Hogwarts.
I know Elyssa is going to be extremely pumped about this.
Elyssa is going to be so bummed if this is not open by May of next year.
It will be interest to see how this plays out. My guess: people end up buying a whole lot more “park hopping” type tickets to jump between the two parks.
The long rumored expansion of Harry Potter-related attractions at Universal Studios in Florida is now official. The most interesting things for me is probably the new Hogwarts Express:
> “After teasing people with that static version of the Hogwarts Express in Hogsmeade, we’re now going to give them the opportunity to climb aboard that train and go on an actual journey. And we’re not going to do the usual theme park thing, where you get on an attraction that promises to take you on a journey, but then when you exit your ride vehicle, you’re actually back in the exact same spot where you began that ride,” Mark enthused. “After people climb aboard the Hogwarts Express at Universal Orlando Resort next year, as they exit that train, they’re going to find themselves in an entirely different environment, in a completely different place. Whether they’ve journeyed from London to Hogsmeade or visa versa. And we’ve made sure that even your train trip aboard the Hogwarts Express will be part of the ambitious immersive storytelling experience that we’re trying to create for our Guests with this Potter expansion.”
It sounds really impressive.
Looks like it is going to open just **after** my honeymoon. Sounds like I will have to make another trip down in the fall.
