The magical world of Harry Potter in Orlando is one of the most famous theme parks in the world. Modern technologies were used during the construction work, which made it possible to reproduce the Universe of Harry Potter, his friends and enemies in great detail on an area of 8 hectares.
History of creation
In 2007, it was announced that J. K. Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter series of novels, had been granted the rights to open a park in Florida by Warner Bros. The news has become one of the most discussed among Potter fans. Construction began in the same year.
Emma Watson, who played the role of Hermione Granger, Oliver Phelps, who was remembered by the audience as Georgie Weasley, James Phelps, who became widely known for his image of Fred Weasley, Robbie Coltrane, who was Rubeus Hagrid, and Matthew Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom, came to the opening ceremony of the Magical World of Harry Potter on May 20, 2010.
Materials about the creation of the park were included in the discs "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which describes the sixth year of study at Hogwarts. The launch of the location cost $265 million, with its appearance at Walt Disney World Park there was a slight decrease in attendance. This was attributed to the fact that part of the audience moved into the Magical world of Harry Potter.
Short description
