Man.... I hate disagreeing with anything Potter, but I have to agree with you. I absolutely LOVE Potter. I wouldn't complain if they did decide to do a Potter anything at any of the parks (I might actually pack my happy butt up and move to Florida then! What more could I ask for? Potter AND Disney *droooool*
) It really wouldn't fit at Epcot, World or Animal. You're right. It is too much of a popular craze right now. Building a huge Hogwarts would probably be too much money and not be versatle enough to do something with after it faded (hopin that never happens obviously). At least with all of the newer things they can revamp it to something completely different more or less. LOL I wish they'd do a Potterland! Now THAT would be cool! :hammer: Sen The Harry Potter Addict

Really, with all those possible merchandising opportunities?
I can see it now, a dumbo clone where you sit on suspended brooms housed in a Hogwarts industrial scale merchandising emporium, ride cost small revenue large. The New Disney way.

That is sad, it would have really brought some families into Epcot, oh well

HP at WDW?
Speaking as a HUGE Harry Potter fan and HUGE Disney fan, I don't think this is a good idea. While it would be fun to have some kind of HP attraction at a theme park somewhere, I just can't see it happening at WDW or DL. I don't think it really fits anywhere in the World and moreover I'm not sure Disney should be promoting at WB product. And, forgive me, but I'd be too afraid of what they would do to my beloved Harry & friends.

And they could use the Hogwarts school anthem as the theme song! Hogwarts! Hogwarts! Hoggy,Hoggy,Warts,Warts.

I don't know about everyone else, but I just don't see an attraction like that in a Walt Disney World theme park...

I know this might get some people very angry, but why don't they incorporate the Harry Potter ride with the imagination pavilion. Since they changed the ride there, they have really gone away from the literary aspect of imagination. The old ride used to have a section that dealt with all aspects of imagination, including reading. Maybe they can figure out a way to theme a Harry Potter ride and relate it to imagination. Just a suggestion, I would really like epcot to get some fresh, new rides as it is my favorite park. Maybe I'm biased

Why would we be angry? That's your opinion, and a real good one at that! I agree whole-heartedly! Harry Potter would fit perfectly in Imagination... as a demonstration of what our imaginations can conjure up! Besides the Imagination ride must go. It's an embarassment for EPCOT, WDW, and the entire Walt Disney Company!

You are right. Why would Disney spend millions of dollars on an attraction that isn't even Disney? I just don't see it happening. If they are going to do that, might as well add Shreck and the Olson Twins too.
See what I'm saying? Just doesn't make sense.

i dont know what you're talking about- I KNOW IM ED!!!
haha, just messin with ya.
it's a neat idea, but i think it might be just a little too big of a stretch.. if placing the ride in an england section of the park is already too much of a stretch for the imagineers.. i don't see them using the imagination pavillion as an alternative.
i also agree with those who didnt want to see it at MK.. its just not right.. it would be totally out of place. lets keep fantasyland just disney characters..
finally, to those that suggested AK--
..the only way a land based on mythical creatures would work is if it were just that: a land on mythical creatures. As you said, that would include unicorns.. dragons.. etc. [different types of mythical ANIMALS] ..to bring in harry potter would be to bring in a mythical PERSON.. its not the same.. c'mon now.. harry potter.. in a park based on extinct, current, and imaginary ANIMALS.. it just doesn't work.
thanks for playing though! lol..
as others have said.. if this project would EVER get off the ground.. the only logical place would be mgm
-however england at epcot is not an out of the question alternative.
..that is all.

No but another poster had the right idea. MGM. LOL Duh me! :hammer: Last time I checked Aerosmith definately wasn't Disney! Neither was Star Wars or Indiana Jones! ahaaaaaaa! I think we're closer to opening the Chamber of Secrets guys!
