Wizarding World of Harry Potter in US to soon open its doors for ‘muggles’!
March 26th, 2010 - 3:34 pm ICT by ANILondon, March 26 (ANI): A Harry Potter-themed park is set to open in Florida on June 18 this year.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will include a wand shop, Ollivanders.
The visitors will be allowed to re-enact a scene from the beginning of the wizard tale, wherein Harry Potter is “chosen” by his wand.
Art director of the films Alan Gillmore has spent the three years working on the theme park.
The Hogwarts Castle, measuring a few hundred feet, has been raised too.
“It looks like it is made out of Scottish stone and is thousands of years old. Everything within guests’ reach is as it should be,” Timesonline quoted Gilmore as saying.
Also, fans can experience a ride on an “enchanted bench,” which apparently encounters dragons, dementors and soulless creatures.
Gillmore quipped that the Muggles, the name given to human beings who are incapable of travelling to Hogwarts in the Harry Potter stories, are certainly welcomed in this park.
He said: “The Wizarding World is like an open day for muggles.”
The 20-acre park will also serve wizards’ drink such as chocolate frogs and other food found in the magical world. (ANI)
