Wizarding World of Harry Potter Construction Update: 3/9/09
March 09, 2009
I suppose this update is best viewed right after a trip to the last update from 2/3.
With Spring Break crowds approaching soon, construction continues rapidly at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter site at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure. Here's the latest from Hagrid's Hut, which has completed its exterior work and will now sit there while the rest of the Hogwarts building is shaped and sealed for the massive ride installation. Rumor has it that the Hut will only be for show and storage purposes, and not an actual building for guests to tour. A shame.
(sorry for the blurry quality of some of these pics - 'tis the life of a superspy)

I'm squeeing very loudly at this! Wonderful. Thanks for posting this :)

I can't wait!!! I can't tell how big Hagrid's hut is, but it might be a great little souvenir shop or maybe you can get snacks/drinks.

The "enchanted oak"? Wtf is that?? don't tell me that's another term the American version of the books has introduced? Please tell me that's not the "whomping willow".

The Enchanted Oak WAS a really great resteraunt across from the Dueling Dragons roller coaster that was demolished to make way for awesome HP stuff! I live about 2 hours away and I too have been watching the park's developement closely!! Can't wait!
