Ooooook..I dont know WHY im deciding to chime in on this one..but here it goes..
Currently no company has licencing rights to use Harry Potter as a theme for a ride. Warner Brothers currently holds the rights to the MOVIE LIKENESS adaptions of the books. I dont see the movie ever becoming a ride, simply because by the time the "bidding war" for the rights gets resolved...a lot of the hype for the ride will have passed.
On a note about the music being played in the parks...uh...any one ever notice they play other non disney music in the studios as well? Just because you recognize one as harry potter doesnt make it significant.
Star Tours and Indy were both licences out by Lucas back when the park first opened, since he owned ther rights to both franchises. Twilight zone was made by MGM..so uh..yeah..put 2 and 2 together. Rock N Rollercoaster...thats a band putting their name on a ride that was designed by imagineering..no real rights to be acquired.
Up until recently I would have put most of my faith in a 007 attraction (man..the stunt show would have been perfect), but now that sony owns MGM ..so much for THAT hope..

Okay, this topic has gone on several different times. Almost everyone is split over wether or not Disney should do a Harry Potter Attraction/Ride, and I for one can't see it happening. First off, Disney would have to aquire the rights to the "FRANCHISE" which would be very costly considering how much Warner Bros shelled out just to get the first four movies done. Plus J.K. Rowling would have final say over anything that is built or done concering Harry Potter. We don't need a Harry Potter Ride or Attraction, we just need to up keep the parks and rides/attractions we have. Besides the final say would lie with the Disney Board, Imagineers and the Park President (of which ever park if any they decided to build in) and anyone of them can stop the project from even seeing the light of day. So for now, lets just keep disney with for the Mouse and let Harry get his own house somewhere else.

This might work.
The idea reminds me of the fact that if you stand in the middle of a crowded place (a mall, for example), point upwards, or simply stare up. The reactions are priceless.P.S. Kudos to the people with their sense of humour still intact after opening this thread.

For some reason, new people with bad spelling and bad grammar are attracted to this thread......
