Harry Potter will soon invade Hollywood. The Universal Studios Hollywood has just announced that "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" will open on April 7, 2016.
The whole Harry Potter land was inspired from J.K. Rowling's world-famous novels. As stated in the press release, the land "will be faithful to the visual landscape of the fiction and films, including Hogwarts castle."
According to PEOPLE, Hogwarts Castle will be the attractions' focal point. Upon entering the land, the visitors will pass through Hogsmeade, a "quaint local village." This is where the land's signature rides such as "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" in hyper-realistic 3D-HD and an outdoor coaster called "Flight of the Hippogriff" will be found.
Back in June of last year, Comingsoon.Net reported that Harry Potter land took more than five years in the making. The Universal Studios Hollywood is set to bring the guests the same feel, "authenticity and storytelling" that were found in Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios. It is also highly expected that the newest Harry Potter land will attract more fans and visitors around the globes for a long period of time.
Reportedly, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will bring to life the Harry Potter fiction and films in most amazing ways. The amusement land will be as real as the film in order to make the guests feel that they are indeed in Harry Potter's world.
Larry Kurzweil, President of Universal Studios Hollywood, said that "Harry Potter is an exhilarating multi-generational global phenomenon that has captivated the world's attention across every one of its mediums, from books and movies to exhilarating theme park adventures."
Kurzweil added, "With its imminent arrival to The Entertainment Capital of L.A., Universal Studios Hollywood is thrilled to bring our guests a new, compelling experience of 'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter' as we embark on this next chapter in our storied history."
To add more to the fans excitement, guests will also be able to experience and purchase authentic items such as wands, robes and other collectibles that is part of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
