'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter' will be anchored by the most recognizable landmark in Harry Potter's world: Hogwarts castle.

Universal Orlando Resort is opening a Harry Potter theme park that will let fans visit many of the iconic locations in the Harry Potter books and movies.
"The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" is set to open at Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in late 2009, complete with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade village.
"The plans I've seen look incredibly exciting, and I don't think fans of the books or films will be disappointed," said author J.K. Rowling, who has been working with a creative team to make sure the park resembles the books and films.
More than a dozen artists lead by Stuart Craig, the production designer of the movies, have set up house in the studio to make sure every detail is considered, said Scott Trowbridge of Universal.
"We're really going to the people who know this world best to ensure that level of authenticity," he said.
The park will let visitors view the famed locations in Rowling's magical world, like Dumbledore's office in Hogwarts and the shops in Hogsmeade. Some locations may be in upcoming books, Trowbridge said.
Many tourists outside the theme park said the experience would boost its appeal to a younger audience.
Brandon Wilson, a 15 year old from Pleasant Hill, said he can't get enough of Harry Potter. He has read every book and watched every movie.
"I hope we get to simulate flying like Harry Potter," Wilson said.

哈利·波特主題公園將落戶(hù)奧蘭多環(huán)球影城度假村，屆時(shí)，哈迷們可以在此欣賞到《哈利·波特》叢書(shū)和電影中的很多標(biāo)志性景觀。
“哈利·波特魔法世界”將于2009年晚些時(shí)候在奧蘭多環(huán)球影城度假村的冒險(xiǎn)島主題公園開(kāi)門(mén)迎客，書(shū)中所描繪的霍格沃茨魔法學(xué)校、禁林和霍格莫德村都將被真實(shí)再現(xiàn)。
《哈利·波特》系列叢書(shū)的作者J.K羅琳一直與主題公園的創(chuàng)意團(tuán)隊(duì)通力合作，以保證公園能真實(shí)再現(xiàn)書(shū)中和電影中所描繪的場(chǎng)景。她說(shuō)：“這個(gè)計(jì)劃十分令人興奮，我覺(jué)得哈迷們不會(huì)失望。”
奧蘭多環(huán)球影城度假村的斯考特·特羅布里奇說(shuō)，由《哈利·波特》電影的美工設(shè)計(jì)師斯圖亞特·克雷格領(lǐng)頭的十多個(gè)藝術(shù)家們已在影城安營(yíng)扎寨，以保證每個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)都考慮周全。
他說(shuō)：“我們將向高手行家們請(qǐng)教，以確保每個(gè)場(chǎng)景都能夠原汁原味。”
屆時(shí)，游客們能在公園中親眼目睹羅琳魔法世界中的諸多著名地點(diǎn)，如霍格沃茨魔法學(xué)校里鄧布利多的辦公室、霍格莫德村的店鋪等。特羅布里奇說(shuō)，還有一些地點(diǎn)是尚未面世的新書(shū)中出現(xiàn)的。
主題公園外的很多游客說(shuō)，主題公園所帶來(lái)的親身體驗(yàn)將會(huì)大大吸引小觀眾們。
普萊曾特希爾15歲的布蘭德·威爾森說(shuō)，他永遠(yuǎn)都看不夠哈利·波特。他看遍了《哈利·波特》的每本書(shū)和每部電影。
威爾森說(shuō)：“我希望我們能像哈利·波特那樣的飛。”
