Harry Potter goes experiential

So having spotted the Dan Brown billboard in Long Street we were doing a bit of day dreaming about how awesome it could have been had the mystery actually come to life in the city centre as part of the campaign.

Well, if you’re a Harry Potter fan – that wish will now become reality.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Orlando Resort’s theme park dedicated to the world-famous boy magician, is opening in spring 2010.

The highly anticipated immersive environment, originally scheduled to open this year, includes faithful re-creations of the film’s memorable haunts like Hogsmeade, Hogwart’s Castle and more, according to new details revealed this week on Universal’s site.

If you’re a fan of District 9 – there’s no need to wait for a theme park to be built. Everything you saw in the movie has already been carefully recreated for you to experience in downtown Johannesburg. Go to it!
