It's a subject that has been discussed, belabored, hypothesized, and rumored about to death. Do a search.

To set the record straight once and for all. PLEASE stop saying that Disney would never build an HP ride because they don't produce the movies. Indiana Jones has ZERO affiliation with Disney yet it is one of the most popular rides in Disneyland. Shrek is one of the most popular attractions at Universal Orlando yet Universal had nothing to do with the making of the Shrek films. Shrek was made by Dreamworks. It is very easy to buy the theme park rights to films. It is done all the time. I'm not saying Disney WOULD build a ride based around Harry Potter but if they don't, it isn't because they didn't produce the movie directly. Time to come up with new arguments because that one is getting mighty old.

ok first of all.....shrek is owned by Universal because Universal and Dreamworks are in business together. Just like Pixar and Disney afilliate together, Universal and Dreamworks do. Just wanted to clear that up. lol, but on to the more important matter. Disney has actually acquired the rights to the Harry Potter films...they have shown the movies numerous times on ABC Family, and i think even once on ABC. The books are sold at the parks...and the music plays. Signs clearly point toa maybe. Realistically....they would have to announce something fairly soon for this to be at all possible. Becuz if they create the ride after the hype is over....its not as successful. so all in all....we will see what happens with taht announcement on May 5th.

There is no way this could ever happend. It's like every one said, Warner brothers owns the rights to Harry Potter. You will see it happen in Six Flags before you ever see a bit of Harry Potter at WDW or any Disney park.

Although I love Harry Potter, a ride for him should be limited to a Warner's park. They have Six Flags and it could use something a little different than just coaster. Keep Disney authentic and strictly Disney Owned and Licensed products..

I can imagine Six Flags attempting a Harry Potter ride. I can imagine "The Harry Potter ROLLER COASTER OF DEATH!!!!! WITH FIVE LOOPS, SEVEN CROKSCREWS, AND ZERO GS!!!!!!!!! Oh, and its themed to harry potter too with a couple of broom sticks here and there, and be sure to buy the books at the gift shop."

I just want good attractions. Harry Potter seems like a good theme for an attraction - I can think of a dozen great ideas off the top of my head...
As for the "what does it have to do with Disney" questions, the same can be said for Star Wars ("Star Tours"), the Twilight Zone ("Tower of Terror"), Aerosmith ("Rock 'n Roller"), and Indiana Jones (both the stuntshow and the Disneyland ride). I'd prefer to see a Harry Potter attraction in MGM, but would be okay with it in the Magic Kingdom, despite the fact it's not a Disney property. (Again, Disneyland's most popular attraction - Indy - is a non-Disney-property).

Hahahaha.. I was going to say the same thing exactly. I think it will be a cold day before 6 flags will ever have anything creative in one of their parks. I love HP and would love one of the Orlando parks to buy the rights to make a ride. I would also love to know what so many people have agianst HP? Even if for what ever reason you dont like the films, the books are wonderful.imagineer boy said:

If they were to build a HP attraction it would be very exciting because my family love the films and it would be great because my son goes to school with the boy who plays Draco Malfoy so it would be wierd seeing him on a WDW screen.
