The rumor mill is spinning over the upcoming Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando. It started with unconfirmed reports regarding auditions that will be held for actors to play the characters, including the main ones. Here are some of the other rumors…> Other “wizards” and “witches” will participate in duels at specific spots in the park while a group of actors will be innocent bystanders who move and duck from the special effects of sparks and explosions."
> There will also be a “wand instructor” who will show children how to wave their wands and do magic tricks."
> There will be a stage show of the graveyard scene where Harry has his first duel with Voldemort from "Goblet of Fire."
> One of the rides will be similar to Harry’s ride with Hagrid in Gringotts Bank in “Sorcerer’s Stone.”
Alas, these are rumors and not confirmed reports. They sound so exciting though! I think these would be great additions to the theme park and boy would they be fun!! I like the idea of the stage show of the graveyard scene. That can be really raw and intense I think. I also like the wand demonstration idea, though I HIGHLY DISAGREE with it being reserved exclusively for children. As for a few quick predictions of my own…I think they will turn the Leaky Cauldron and the 4 Houses of Hogwarts into hotels. Eating options should be easy too, i.e. the standards, such as Leaky, Three Broomsticks, the Hogshead, Honeydukes and, perhaps, the Great Hall in Hogwarts.
The theme park is still under construction. The park is slated to open in December 2009.
Thanks to Snitchseeker for the info.
