Harry Potter Expansion
Due to the overwhelming popularity of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the studio and Warner Bros. Entertainment are adding The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley to Universal Studios. Scheduled to open in 2014, the new attraction will bring to life some of the experiences and places found in and around London in the Harry Potter books and films. You will be able to “travel” between London and Islands of Adventure Harry Potter section aboard the Hogwarts Express. The attraction will feature shops, a restaurant and a marquee attraction based on Gringotts Bank. “I’m so pleased that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has proved so popular to date, and I’m sure that the attention to detail in creating the new Diagon Alley area will make this an even better experience,” said J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series.
