Update2: Wizarding World of Harry Potter Information

It is being reported that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in conjunction with the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be in theatres in November 2010. The report, originally in French, came from the International Pow Wow, which took place in Miami May 16 - 20.

The report also stated that there will a roller coaster and a ride that has flying car races.

You can read the translation here.

UPDATE: We received word from Universal Studios in Orlando that the information reported in this article is inaccurate. Although which parts are inaccurate, I haven't been told. Let's hope it's the opening date and that it's still the beginning of 2010 and not November 2010. neo

UPDATE2: I got another response from Universal stating that it is the release date and money figures noted in the article that were incorrect. Here's what they had to say:

The last paragraph of the article references that the opening of the Wizarding World will coincide with the release of the first installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, sometime in November of 2010. This information was never shared during Pow Wow (the international trade show that this journalist attended) and is incorrect. The Wizarding World is scheduled to open sometime in 2010.

We also don’t discuss monetary figures associated with building new attractions or improvements to our parks. We have never released a dollar figure relating to the development of the Wizarding World.

Thanks to Universal for letting us know!

Videos: One Deathly Hallows Set Wraps, Another Begins

The last day of filming for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Shell Cottage scene took place on Thursday, reports WalesOnline. Some new photos of the set from Hedward Photography are online. You can see a close up of Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) and Evanna again in the Jeep with Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Domhnall Gleeson (Bill Weasley).

The photographer had a chance to speak with some of the crew at the set.

We had a chance to talk to one of the lighting techs working on the movie and it was really interesting hearing about life behind the scenes. Every single shell on the roof of shell cottage is made of fibreglass and the whole cottage was built in studio, disassembled and shipped to Freshwater West beach where it was reassembled for filming.

After filming ends on the beach it will be taken apart again and reassembled in studio for more filming.

Additionally, some photos have surfaced on London Taxi Tours of a new set location, this time at Swinley Forest in Bracknell. Two months of filming are to take place in this area. You can see the photos in our gallery starting here.

You can also see some videos of both sets here.

Harry Potter Uniforms Now Available To The Public

Ever since Chamber of Secrets, Lochaven International, Ltd. in Scotland has provided Warner Bros. with Hogwarts school uniforms for all four houses. In October 2008, the Kilmarnock Standard interviewed the knitwear manufacturing company about their association with the Harry Potter films. At that time, Lochaven’s owner Keith Murray mentioned receiving requests from fans for the uniforms:

He said: “We get e-mails from all over the world from fans of the books and films asking if they can buy one…“Although there is no legal reason why we can’t, we don’t actually actively market them so they are pretty rare…“Our quality and ability to produce relatively small batches in Scotland makes us fairly unique these days and that allows us to work within the film industry…“The garments are very visible in the films and have become recognised as an integral part of Harry Potter. There is also a large Scottish connection with the films so it’s great to be a part of it.”

Due to popular demand reinforced by the interview, the uniforms are now available.
