Hogsmeade Entrance (click for a larger size)
Hogsmeade from Jurassic Park Bridge Hogsmeade Construction Hogwarts(Nice place to hide water bottles!)
Possible "Flight of the Hippogriff" construction? Hogwarts (Jurassic Park Side) A Distant Vision...Click here for all previous Wizarding World construction updates!
The placement of those Powerade bottles cracks me up! How are they going to get those down from there?
Great pictures! This place is really starting to take shape :)

All I can say is about three weeks ago I thought is was cool that they had just got some little details to Hogwatrs, now (besides the right side) it's basically dane...But there's still ALOT more to go one the rest, especially Flight of the Hippogriff! Just don't think that the Dragon Challenge ride's gonna be that great since they're keeping it open during construction...Wonder if you can see the construction during the ride? Hmm...

I went to Universal Thanksgiving weekend and I am really excited.
I rode Fire (Dueling Dragons now but will be the Dragon Challenge) but couldn't see that much more than I could from the line. I am really glad they are keeping these two roller coasters because they are awesome. The layout now for dueling dragons has you going through stone passageways into a huge room with high sloping ceilings - I don't think it will be that difficult to make it look like the Triwizard tent and just add decorations.
The thing I am really excited about is everything at an Island is based on the theme. The waiting line will have all kinds of cool movies stuff and the stores and restaurants will seem like you are there.

i think a harry potter theme park is a graet idea i thnk you should build one in every state so its closer to people who in other states

i don't like that...i mean i thought it would be bigger...but it isn't....it's too small and it won't never be like real Hogwarts
Posted by: Rafa | December 20, 2009 at 12:11 PM
WOOO! Hogwarts is real! I will be there next year for the sole purpose of buying an official wand at Ollivander's (among other things)! :D Granted I live in a tiny village in the UK and it's gonna cost me THOUSANDS to get there, but who cares?! IT'S HOGWARTS!!

Looking at the photos it seems that the construction work is going on at a good pace and I hope that that I will get the further updates on this construction.

To Rafa: Are you kidding me? It over 200 ft tall, it's gonna be freaking humongous and has for "it won't be the real Hogwatrs!", well Duh! Hogwarts isn't real but it will be as close as it gets. I've been looking up this park almost twice a day for the last 2 years, I even found out the day after it was announced. The Forbidden Journey ride will be held outside Hogwarts (the building, the ride is placed in Hogwarts and many other things such as the Forbidden Forest), so all of Hogwarts is just a a self-guided tour of Hogwarts they're allowing us to walk into the Dark Arts class, the Great Hall, the Greenhouse and more! It's gonna be the best so shut up Rafa..God that's a stupid name.

I THINK THAT IF I COULD CHOOSE BETWEEN THE WORLD NOW AND HARRY POTTER I WOULD CHOOSE THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER, AND I THINK THAT
75% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT KNOW HARRY POTTER WOULD CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE WORLD OF HP.
