The summer season is here, and greeting the mob of sweaty tourists at the Islands of Adventure is a small village of rapidly constructed buildings ready to be Potterized.

    It might be stupid to ask this but is the hogwarts castle only a miniature?
    I was expecting it would be the real size. Oh well.

    Oh. My. Nargles.
    It’s really happening. Just seeing these photos actually MADE ME CRY. I cannot believe this is happening, after I always dreamed of it… and yet, I may never get to see it. I am on the other side of the world :'(

    To answer a few questions I’ve seen, and from what I read, the WWoHP will be at Univeral’s: Island of Adventures. From what I read, an official opening date is yet to be determined, but they’re shooting for some time in June of 2010. I can’t wait. Good job Brian. Keep the great pics coming.
