I would want to work there, too. Woot! I suggest that they start building an inn there as well. I'd gladly live in a Potter environment.

Unless they build a full size Hogwarts, I'll be disappointed.

How can people already be blindly amazed by this? They haven't even said what they are doing with it. They could just build a rollercoaster and slap Harry Potter on the side. Just because they are building something HP themed doesn't mean it's going to be amazing.

personally I can't be supportive of this idea.It seems too much comercialism of harry potter. There's already a large group that are just about the movies. I so much prefer that people actually read some novels and use their imagination.Another concern is also how much will the books be respected. There are rather huge differences between the books and movies and the movies are not, imo, particularly respectful of many of the themes and characters in the books.Then there is the "britishness" of it. I know they said they will try to respect it, but I'm not holding my breath.

i am so excited, and my daughter will be 11 by the time it opens, she is the reason i fell in love with hp to begin with, this is just one more way we can share in the magic that is Harry Potter!! At least i already know where we will be going for vacation in two years, i better start saving now.
