Has anyone else heard or read about this? I heatd form a friend that they are building a Harry Potter theme park in Orlandp Florida.It is going to have Hogwarts school , the forbidden forrest, even Hogsmeade. They are going to call it 'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter'. It is set to open in 2009. What do you think? Excited? Annoyed?Care less either way? I am not sure what to think. If it is true, will it have good longevity? I don't know... any one else have thoughts on this, good or bad?

Wow, I am very excited to hear about this news. If there are going to be an actual Hogwarts school, what would they teach in there? Magics? I am not sure what would become of the place, but the idea is very interesting and I think it can become one of the most popular tourist attractions for people to come from all over the world. Personally I don't think it is suitable to be turned into a real school, but it is rather more suitable to be made into a commercial place.

I have heard about this. It is supposed to have a Diagon Alley, Gringots and several other places from the movies and books. I think it's going to be great and I really hope they build it. I never got inspired about Disneyworld but for Harry Potter I'd go to Florida just to see it. :) **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

OMG! I read about this on Yahoo news and i'm sooo excited! DH and I are pretty good fans of HP and can't wait until it opens. I really hope that it will be a long lasting thing, but I guess it all depends on the updated that they do to the park. The last book is set to come out in July, so there will be only a limited amount of things they can add or change. But I do hope it lasts a while.

If everything looks remotely like it does in the movies then I think itll be really cool actually. It should be successfull considering how successfull the books are. I think it'll do well
