Is Universal Orlando Getting Their Own Harry Potter Mini-Film?
A London newspaper announced last weekend that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universals Islands of Adventure may be getting a unique “Harry Potter” mini-movie of their own. Although our friends at the Universal Orlando Resort have not given any official word, it would seem that there is a good possibility that J.K. Rowling herself wrote something completely new that will be used exclusively at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is scheduled to open at Universal’s Islands of Adventure in 2009. It has been over one year since the Universal Orlando Resort officially announced the addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park. But the latest rumors began just a few days ago, when London newspaper, The Sunday Mirror, published an article saying that Rowling has penned yet another Harry Potter adventure that is independent from all of the others. The Mirror reported that the latest Harry Potter story is being made into a mini-film that will be shown solely at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter themed area located inside Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park. So when Universal’s new “theme park within a theme park” finally does open sometime next year, a Universal ticket will likely be required to get a glimpse of this unique Potter mini-flick. According to the story published June 15, many of the Harry Potter regulars will star in the unique mini-movie. That includes the top trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who play best friends Harry, Hermione and Ron in all of the “Harry Potter” films. The report said that the stars are already working on the mini-film that will be used at the Universal Orlando Resort theme park, and will wrap it up before they start filming the final two “Harry Potter” movies. The Mirror added that Potter cast members “are also working on extra sequences and clips which will be part of the rides” at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be the “world’s first fully immersive Harry Potter themed environment,” according to Universal’s original announcement about the “theme park within a theme park” released last year. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is expected to open in late 2009. It will be located inside Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park and a Universal ticket will be required for admission.
