A Park for Harry Potter

It is now official, a theme park based on Harry Potter will open in the United States.

Directly inspired by the adventures of the young sorcerer, the theme park The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in Florida in 2009.

The author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling, is thrilled about the new park.  She told the BBC, "The plans I’ve seen look incredibly exciting, and I don’t think fans of the books or films will be disappointed."

The Harry Potter books have been translated into 65 languages and have sold more than 325 copies.  The final installment of the series will be released on July 21.  In addition to the novels, film adaptations have earned more than $3.5 million.  Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix opens in theatres on July 13.
