CHICAGO – “Twilight” may have their own makeup line, but do they have their own theme park? Nope, but Harry Potter will. Universal Orlando Resorts and Warner Brothers announced that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in spring of 2010 in Orlando, FL, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

The group called the park a “totally immersive environment.” Visitors will walk into “Hogsmeade,” which is complete with a train station and fabled locomotive, with Hogwarts Castle standing in the shadow.
No theme park would be complete without some shopping. Stores included in the theme park are: Zonko’s, Honeydukes and a wand shop with dusty wand boxes where you can be matched up with a wand of your own…just like Harry.
Quidditch fans can participate in their own simulated Triwizard Tournament and even pick up some Quidditch equipment.
The new theme park will sure be a crowd pleaser with fans from all over the planet will be flocking to Orlando, FL to get their full Harry Potter experience.
