The new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida is close to completion.
The 20-acre park, slated to open in early spring, is estimated to have cost upwards of 160 million pounds.
In the Potter theme park, clearly visible is the iconic shape of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, covered in a dusting of fake snow.
The park will offer guests a tour of Hogwarts Castle, a visit to Ollivander’’s wand shop and the chance to drink some real-life butter beer.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be followed up in November by the release of the last film in the series, ‘Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows’.
“Harry Potter continues to spark the imaginations of fans of all ages and we really have seen the anticipation continue to build for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter,” the Telegraph quoted Brad Globe, President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products, as saying.
“We are excited to share with fans a first glimpse into the truly enchanted world we are bringing to life with all of our partners at Universal Orlando Resort,” Globe added.
The park has already received the approval of the stars of the film series Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson and they have both visited the park.
Harry Potter creator JK Rowling has said: “The plans I”ve seen look incredibly exciting, and I don”t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed.”
