Harry Potter athour J.K.Rowling said:"The plans i have seen are incredibly exciting,and i don't think the fans of the books and films will not be disappointed"


Harry Potter is to live on and on - in America.
Barely five weeks before J K Rowling said:'The plans I've seen
look incredibly exciting, and I don't think fans of the
books or films will be disappointed'


Harry Potter is to live on and on - in America.
Barely five weeks before J K Rowling brings the curtain down on the boy magician’s adventures in her seventh and final book, it was announced yesterday that a Harry Potter theme park is to be developed in Florida.


The $1 billion park, due to open in Orlando in late 2009, is intended to keep the wizard world of Hogwarts alive for the foreseeable future - and to squeeze the last drops of cash from the Harry Potter brand.
Fans who have read the books and seen the films will be able to live their dreams in the make-believe Harry Potter world, Warner Bros and Universal Studios, who will start constructing the park in the next few weeks, promised yesterday.
The attractions are to include a giant recreation of Rowling’s fictional Hogwarts Castle, a permanently snow-covered Hogsmeade village, the Forbidden Forest and a Hogwarts Express that will steam away from Platform 9 and 3/4.


The village, with steep-roofed slate-and-stone buildings will boast “experiential shops and restaurants” selling cauldrons and broomsticks, wands, magic potions and Harry Potter-themed meals.


Across the park, through “immersive rides and interactive attractions”, fans will be confronted with characters and scenes from Rowling’s epic story.
Computerised special effects will display figures looking like real characters but which will disappear in a flash.


The author, who has already earned more than £500 million from her magic schoolboy and is expected to earn a slice of the theme park’s income, has backed the project from the start.
In a statement released yesterday, she said: “The plans I’ve seen look incredibly exciting, and I don’t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed.”


To be called The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the new park will be built within the existing 787-acre Universal Studios theme park which boasts Islands of Adventure, the studio’s own film and television park and 30 acres of shopping malls, restaurants and entertainment venues.
Barry Meyer, chairman of Warner Bros Entertainment, said yesterday: “Over the years we’ve received thousands of letters from fans around the world wishing they could visit Hogwarts and the wonderful locations described in each of J.K. Rowling’s beloved stories.


“We are confident that we’ll be able to provide Harry Potter fans with an incredible experience that upholds the richness of J.K. Rowling’s books and delivers on the authentic detail portrayed in our films.”
Tom Williams, chairman of Universal Parks and Resorts, said: “We are going to devote more time, more money, more expertise and more executive talent from throughout our entire organisation and creative team – as well as from Warner Bros., our partners – to ensure that this entire environment is second-to-none.”


The new park will be designed by a largely British team of 20 artists, designers and modelmakers led by the Oscar-nominated Stuart Craig.
