The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort celebrated its grand opening today after 5 years in the making. “I said right at the beginning, either we do it right or we don’t do it at all,” J.K. Rowling said in a statement. “The teams at Universal and Warner Bros have done it right, so I am so happy.”

I was very disappointed with this new park. The castle is nice, but that is all. To take 5 years to build, unacceptable. To only spend $200M on this space, very sad looking. Also, no room for expantion. Oh well, we shall see how long it lasts.
