Even magic takes time...

As you probably know by now, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be opening this Friday at Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure theme park. Magical happenings are expected.

What’s comin’ is Hogwarts Castle and it’s coming along swimmingly. The castle is part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter slated to open later this spring at Universal’s Islands of Adventure Park in the Universal Orlando Resort.

According to Universal: Hogwarts will be the home of a thrilling, new, state-of-the-art attraction – Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey – that uses ground-breaking technology to bring the magic, characters and stories of Harry Potter to life in ways never before experienced.

Sounds magical. Are you looking forward to experiencing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter?
