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.

Daniel Radcliffe named Entertainment Weekly’s ‘Entertainer of the Year’

The major entertainment website and magizine Entertainment Weekly has released their ‘Entertainers of the Year’ issue, and Daniel Radcliffe tops the list!

“Having captivated moviegoers around the world with the last installment of the Harry Potter series, Daniel Radcliffe earned the number one spot on our list of the most talented and original performers who entertained us this year. Rounding out the honor roll? Seventeen more people and groups, from Adele to Hugh Jackman to the cast of Bridesmaids.”

It’s official: New Wizarding World theme park heading to Hollywood, and Orlando to be expanded

Warner Bros. and Universal executives, along with James and Oliver Phelps, today gathered in Hollywood to make their much anticipated announcement that a second Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park is to be built there in sunny southern California. You see pictures above and below from that event, and you can read more of what was said over on Hypable.com, who had press access for the announcement.

Here is the official press release, that also confirms the rumours that the existing Orlando park is to be expanded (more on that soon!).

Warner Bros. Entertainment and Universal Parks and Resorts today announced a partnership to bring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – the enormously popular themed entertainment environment which debuted in Orlando in June 2010 – to Universal Studios Hollywood.

The two companies also announced their plans to significantly expand The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood will be as impressive as what has been created in Orlando – and is expected to transform tourism in Los Angeles for decades to come. It will be a fully immersive environment for the entire family that brings the stories of Harry Potter to life and is faithful to the visual landscape of the films, including a majestic Hogwarts castle to serve as the centerpiece of the themed environment. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood will be created with the same commitment to authenticity and the same level of talent and resources as its Orlando counterpart.
