Today, Universal Studios/Parks and Warner Bros announced that Hollywood would be getting their very own “Wizarding World of Harry Potter.” The park will be located within Universal Studios Hollywood and in addition to this news, the Orlando park will be expanding.
Oh my gosh – so excited that I don’t have to travel all the way to Florida to see this in real life now. I suppose I can wait a couple years for it to be built or however long it will take.

Whales used to be one of my favorite sea animals until I heard the story about trainer Dawn Brancheau’s tragic death with her killer whale. On Wednesday afternoon, Dawn was working the “Dine with Shamu” event at Sea World with Telly, a 30-year-old 12,000 pound whale.
“[She] was laying on the platform, massaging the whale, petting it. All of a sudden, it latched on and took her under,” said a witness. “He came up one time out of the water with her in his mouth. That was the last we saw of her because they were running us out of there.” Alarms went off as an emergency crew tried to rescue Dawn.
How ironic… dine w/ Shamu?
Sad news for the whale because this is the third death that Telly has been involved in. Dawn Brancheau had been working with killer whales for sixteen years. I can’t imagine how many kids were traumatized in the event they witnessed that Wednesday.
It’s coming this Spring! The new park will find it’s home at the Universal Studios in Orlando. I feel like this park opening is going to be like 23948723 x more exciting only because we’ve read everything about it in the books so we know what it will be like except better. I can’t tell you how many times while reading the books, I thought to myself, “I want to quit school and become a wizard. Maybe I’ll get lucky and discover I’m at least a muggle!”
Yeah, I was one of those kids that wanted to live through books. It’s cool. Anyways, the new site is up!! So go here for a little sneak preview.
But, I’m going to leave you with a little bit of news also…
We all knew it was coming and to be honest I’m fine with this news. If Twilight gets a park though…
Here are some first sketches of the park-to-be opening in Spring 2010 at the Universal Studios’ Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida
A very unclear map of the park. Sorry.
