Harry Potter theme park headed to Fla.

Universal Orlando Resort is opening a Harry Potter theme park that will let fans visit many of the iconic locations in the Harry Potter books and movies.

"The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" is set to open at Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in late 2009, complete with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade village.

"The plans I've seen look incredibly exciting, and I don't think fans of the books or films will be disappointed," said author J.K. Rowling, who has been working with a creative team to make sure the park resembles the books and films.

More than a dozen artists lead by Stuart Craig, the production designer of the movies, have set up house in the studio to make sure every detail is considered, said Scott Trowbridge of Universal.

"We're really going to the people who know this world best to ensure that level of authenticity," he said.

The park will let visitors view the famed locations in Rowling's magical world, like Dumbledore's office in Hogwarts and the shops in Hogsmeade. Some locations may be in upcoming books, Trowbridge said.

Many tourists outside the theme park said the experience would boost its appeal to a younger audience.

Brandon Wilson, a 15 year old from Pleasant Hill, said he can't get enough of Harry Potter. He has read every book and watched every movie.

"I hope we get to simulate flying like Harry Potter," Wilson said.

哈利·波特主题公园将落户奥兰多环球影城度假村，届时，哈迷们可以在此欣赏到《哈利·波特》丛书和电影中的很多标志性景观。

“哈利·波特魔法世界”将于2009年晚些时候在奥兰多环球影城度假村的冒险岛主题公园开门迎客，书中所描绘的霍格沃茨魔法学校、禁林和霍格莫德村都将被真实再现。

《哈利·波特》系列丛书的作者J.K罗琳一直与主题公园的创意团队通力合作，以保证公园能真实再现书中和电影中所描绘的场景。她说：“这个计划十分令人兴奋，我觉得哈迷们不会失望。”

奥兰多环球影城度假村的斯考特·特罗布里奇说，由《哈利·波特》电影的美工设计师斯图亚特·克雷格领头的十多个艺术家们已在影城安营扎寨，以保证每个细节都考虑周全。

他说：“我们将向高手行家们请教，以确保每个场景都能够原汁原味。”

届时，游客们能在公园中亲眼目睹罗琳魔法世界中的诸多著名地点，如霍格沃茨魔法学校里邓布利多的办公室、霍格莫德村的店铺等。特罗布里奇说，还有一些地点是尚未面世的新书中出现的。

主题公园外的很多游客说，主题公园所带来的亲身体验将会大大吸引小观众们。

普莱曾特希尔15岁的布兰德·威尔森说，他永远都看不够哈利·波特。他看遍了《哈利·波特》的每本书和每部电影。

威尔森说：“我希望我们能像哈利·波特那样的飞。”
