New rumours about HP Theme Parks in UK, S Korea




The Mirror yesterday reported that new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks, like the hugely successful one in Florida, are to be built in the UK and South Korea. They claim Warner Bros has registered "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" as a trademark in Britain, and that a Korean park is to open in 2014.

Unfortunately, these rumours have been dealt a blow as Romley Davis, a company that is working with WB to create the upcoming Harry Potter museum at Leavseden Studios, told Mugglenet that there are currently no plans for a UK park.

Additionally, Mugglenet revealed that there will be an official announcement on Thursday regarding the attraction being built at Leavesden, so stay tuned for that.
