The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a chain of themed areas at Universal Parks & Resorts based on the Harry Potter media franchise, adapting elements from the Warner Bros.' film series and original novels by J.K. Rowling. The areas were designed by Universal Creative from an exclusive license with Warner Bros. Entertainment. A Harry Potter-themed attraction at either a Disney or Universal park was rumored in 2003.However, the rights to the Harry Potter franchise had been acquired by Warner Bros., who denied all rumors. Both Disney and Universal entered bidding negotiations with Warner Bros. and Rowling for the theme park rights to Harry Potter. In 2004, Rowling signed a letter-of-intent with Disney, with the company intending to develop a Harry Potter section within the Magic Kingdom park at Walt Disney World. On January 2007, About.com reported a rumor from a "highly credible source" that the Islands park's Lost Continent area was going to be re-themed "to the stories and characters of one of the most popular children's franchises".Other sources followed up in the next few days with unofficial confirmation that the new area would involve Harry Potter.
Oh me oh my! As a 32 year old child.. oops I mean woman... bringing this amazing series to life was nothing short of magical! My boyfriend and I had a beyond amazing time!! We got to run around the Wizarding world like the most humblest of children that just got their letter from Hogwarts! What a beautifully, magical and breathtakingly detailed place. A MUST visit for the kid and adult alike!🔮🧙♂️🧙♀️🧝♂️🧝♀️🪄❄🌨
If you love Harry Potter then you'll love this place. Its like literally stepping into the world of Harry, Hermione and Ron.. Though it is only like a side section of Universal, it's enough for me. Loved eating at the Three Broomsticks restaurant, the atmosphere was all wizarding world and the food was good too.
Recently got to work here at night with no one around and it was awesome in that sense!
Great for kids especially if you have girls. It's a fairy tale land with cute small houses and stories. Easy parking, street meter. No need to park inside. Get a keys one is enough for 4-6 kids, they all can gather and listen the stories. Highly recommend! Plenty of restaurants around, right by Lake Merritt.
