Disney in Harry Potter Theme-Park Deal?
The Walt Disney Co. is considering constructing a "site-based entertainment" complex in Singapore that would occupy a full city block and rise six to seven stories, with each story featuring one of the Harry Potter books, Disney watcher Jim Hill reported on his blog Monday. Hill quoted an anonymous source as saying that Disney has been in protracted negotiations with Potter author J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. to secure theme-park rights for the Singapore complex. Hill's source continued: "If this Harry Potter acquisition deal does fall apart, I'm told that the Imagineers have another SBE [site-based entertainment] concept that also might fly. One where each floor of this city-block-sized building would then celebrate a different Pixar film."

All I've heard of was leak from the voice actor that does all the HP books on tape. He claimed HP gets killed off. As far as I know there is no official confirmation of this.Yo Ho said:Actually, didn't Rowling just announce that Potter will die in the next installment?

I would be surprised if she has completed book seven yet. Thus, he would not have done his reading yet.Moustronaut said:All I've heard of was leak from the voice actor that does all the HP books on tape. He claimed HP gets killed off. As far as I know there is no official confirmation of this.

Correct Connor!Connor002 said:I believe his commen was something along the lines of "I wouldn't be surprised if JK killed of [Harry]... she's been with these characters so long, she's ready to be rid of them"

I would rather them pursue something like Lord of the Rings. Actually, I would rather them pursue bankrupcy before Harry Potter, but that would be unproductive.......and I would have a useless DVC membership....so, I guess I could put up with it.Empress Room said:Let's face it, it makes sense. No matter what one's personal opinion of the Harry Potter series is, one has to admit that the Harry Potter franchise 1) is extremely popular; 2) has long-range and all encompassing marketing possibilities; 3) has events, stories and characters that would be perfect for many theme park attractions, experiences, rides (and even lands).
If Disney has not or does not pursue the HP franchise, its competitors assuredly will.
