Ooo it be might nice if they have Lucius Malfoy characters walking around the park. Although it would be blasphemous to think anyone could pull it off like the original gangsta.

I hope they don't decide to keep the park G rated because a Death Eater parade would definitely give the park an extra umph. It would totally kick the sissy Disney parade's butt.

I can see a great deal of potential entertainment value in dueling parades, virtu . . .

Thanks, Sistah! The road trip is more for the East Coast gals than for me.

Update from the Orlando Sentinel. I believe there's more to the article, but I don't have access to it.

Hagrid's Hut appears like magic at Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter

A number of sharp-eyed fans have spotted the rooftop of a structure rising in Universal Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter that looks an awful lot like Hagrid's Hut, home of the half-giant character from the Potter novels and movies.
