The days are dwindling on the countdown to the June 18, 2010 official Grand Opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park.

One of the most highly anticipated new adventures in the theme park capital of the world, the Wizarding World will welcome to Orlando a worldwide audience of Harry Potter fans.

Guests will walk past the Hogwarts Express train and enter the streets of Hogsmeade^TM village where they’ll find a variety of familiar shops and establishments. You can dine at the Three Broomsticks^TM and enjoy a refreshing Butterbeer^TM or a pint of pumpkin juice at the Hog’s Head pub. Or you can pick up some of your favorite wizarding supplies at Dervish and Banges^TM.

At Honeydukes^TM you can find sweets ranging from Chocolate Frogs^TM and Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans^TM to Cauldron Cakes and treacle fudge. Or you can visit the Owl Post^TM and send letters to friends and family with a real Hogsmeade postmark. Best of all, you can even visit Ollivanders^TM wand shop for an incredible interactive experience where a wand chooses YOU.

Of course, as part of the Islands of Adventure, the Wizarding World also offers plenty of excitement with rides like Dragon Challenge^TM, twin roller coasters that engage in a high-speed chase across the sky.

The Flight of the Hippogriff^TM is a smaller, family coaster perfect for the little one that will take you on a fun ride over the Hogwarts^TM grounds. Or you can join Harry and his friends on a thrilling new state-of-the-art attraction that will bring the magic, characters, and stories of Harry Potter^TM to life in ways never before experienced.
