Leavesden Studio Harry Potter theme park opening for visitors in 2012

I am pretty sure that millions of fans of the phenomenal Harry Potter series will be overwhelmed when they have learned where in Britain the next Harry Potter theme park, the Leavesden Studio Harry Potter theme park will be opened. After shooting eight movies in Leavesden Studios, Warner Brothers Film Company have put aside a site for the said theme park.

They will also be hiring the same guys who worked with the theme park in Orlando, and even the author of the 7-part series is very much excited about the project. We all hope that the UK theme park will be as good as that in Orlando.

The 170-acre site for the UK Leavesden Studio Harry Potter theme park has been purchased by the film company for £100M. It is located in Leavesden just outside Watford. Modest plans have been set for the visitor attraction, and the expected visitor traffic is somewhere around 6 000 only every day. That is about half the number of people who visit the Alton Towers everyday. So, 6 000 people will be estimated to walk though the Great Hall and Dumbledore’s Study as well as other sets of the Harry Potter films.

Aside from the films sets, people will also be seeing the costumes worn by the three major characters in the movie. Robes and other costumes worn by Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) will be displayed on the theme park when it opens on 2012.

Expect more because The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the Florida park’s title, will be the trademark used for the UK park. This includes the rides too, so there will more ways to enjoy the park other than taking pictures of the sets. You will find a wide range of souvenirs to take back with you after visiting the park and that includes masks, board games, swimwear and even ornaments for your Christmas tree.

The addition of Potter attractions in Universal Studio’s Islands of Adventure has increased the attendance by 20%. The Hogwarts Express train, Flight of the Hippogriff rollercoaster as well as replicas of Hogsmeade village and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have proved to be a big hit to all fans.
I am sure British fans will have a blast when they know about the UK park. Though political rows have happened the past year regarding the way Americans make money out of British inventions, fans will just have to look out for the materialization of this plan.
