In spring 2010,  Universal Orlando Resort is starting a new theme park.  They are basing it off of the Harry Potter series.  The Harry Potter Park is going to be located at the Universal Islands of Adventure.  All of the shops will be named after shops that have been featured in the series.  The shops will also be carrying the same goods that the shops in the movies had.  One example is the restaurant three broomsticks will be carrying butterbeer. 

Universal Studios is thinking that this is going to boost the tourism industry for the Orlando area.  They feel that with the addition of this new theme park inside the Universal Islands of Adventure it will bring many of the Harry Potter fans.  They feel that this may be the boost this area needs. 

As a Harry Potter fan, I know I am interested in finding out how well they are able to mimic the series.  That and I want to see how they manage to make the Hogwarts Castle look like it is 700 feet tall.  This may be the boost the local economy needs.  For those who would like more information about the newest planned Universal Islands of Adventure theme park,  I suggest checking out either http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests-29692008 or for the web-cast visit http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/.
