Harry Potter Theme Park Castle Finally Unveiled

By RACHEL KING

The first official photo of Hogwarts Castle at the much-awaited Harry Potter theme park in Universal Studios, Florida has been released – and the castle looks pretty darn good.

Orlando still seems like a strange place to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to me (its the complete opposite of Northern England/Scotland where these stories take place). Not to mention it’s a Warner Bros. film – not Universal. But supposedly the partnership is going along well, with the park to open this spring. But it remains to be seen how many people will turn up to a theme park dedicated to just one film, and whether or not this one can really make the books come alive.

Being a dedicated fan of both the movies and the books, I cannot wait to find out what this park looks like in person!

    You can also go to Universal Orlando to see Marvel superheroes, now owned by the Universal theme parks’ biggest rival, Disney.
