Video: Inside the Harry Potter Theme Park
I recently learned about the planned Universal Studios Harry Potter theme park from Educating Alice (who has a nice roundup of related links). I think we can all agree that this is a good idea. Pop culture site BuzzFeed recently posted a video tour of the planned project. Let us have a look:

Dang – looks pretty thorough to me.
On a (loosely at best) related note, did you know that there’s a Harry Potter store in Shanghai?

Wow that theme park does look cool! I wonder if they’d rent rooms out in the Hogwarts castle – how cook would that be! Too bad there aren’t such things as witches and wizards – it’d be fun to magically clean your room. lol
But umm….what’s the attraction with the dragon? They just showed a bunch of flags surrounding it. Is it going to be like a 3-D Imax experience where you battle dragons or something?
I have been waiting for this park to open for 2 years now. I cannot wait to see my older son’s face when he will choose his magic wand hahahhaah it will be epic adventure for him.
I think the duelling dragons will be Roller Coaster instead of 3d max
And that new secret attraction in the Hogwarts castle should be amazing and should be the 3d max
Thank you for the video by the way I have found couple of them more here:
