In 2010, the Harry Potter theme park opened at Universal Orlando Resort. Now, you don’t need to fly to the United States to experience the magical world of Harry Potter. Last week, Universal Studios Japan, Warner Bros., and UPR Universal Parks & Resorts jointly announced that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be built at Universal Studios Japan, with an expected opening in the second half of 2014.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Japan will feature the same iconic attractions as its Orlando counterpart, including Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village, and numerous rides. Just like in Orlando, the construction here aims for the highest level of realism and perfection. The project will be led by Stuart Craig, the production designer for the Harry Potter film series, with a top-tier team of creative experts working on it.

 

J.K. Rowling, the original author of Harry Potter, said: “When I first visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, I was delighted by the outstanding work they did, paying attention even to the tiniest details, which brought genuine joy. I’m very pleased that the new park in Japan will offer a similarly meticulously crafted world and thrilling experiences, just like in Orlando.”

 

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter created by Universal Studios in Orlando has attracted millions of visitors. This theme park will become a place where families can enjoy together, with its iconic giant Hogwarts Castle and all surrounding landscapes faithfully recreated from the movies, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the world of Harry Potter.
