Didn't read the TV section of today's newspaper and it was over by the time I got home.
Maybe it will be on again.

I read your post Helen and then forgot (CRS - Can't Remeber Shit!) I was so beat yesterday anyway - the heat index was over 101 F degrees and the humidity was close to 100 percent. I was volunteering at the zoo from 9AM - 5PM so was out doors the entire day. Felt like an old wet dish cloth!! Most of the animals looked pretty unhappy to (except the tropical birds - they always look happy!)

It wasn't listed in my TV Guide either. I got an email yesterday and posted this info from there. Didn't watch, but taped it . . . yes, on my VCR. :roll: Maybe someone on the Internet will post it on YouTube later today.

Saw this. Actually looks really good. Imprinted as much as what we see in the films, but in a "realized" way. And many of the producers, and creators were (Aaagh! What's the word I need? :bang)involved.

Yes, it does look good. There's meticulous attention to detail, so it's as real as the movies and the books.

Daniel, Rupert, Emma, Tom, "Neville," "Ginny," and "Hagrid" (I'm at work and can't spend the time trying to remember or look up the actors' names) gave in-depth descriptions. Looks like ginger beer, Honeydukes, and Ollivanders Wand Shoppe will be the initial highlights of the place.

I'd go to the Wizarding world of Harry Potter if I were in Florida... maybe someday.
(I've heard the tickets are outrageous!)

Anyone intending to go to Wizarding World take my advice and wait until fall. I was outside for about 1/2 hour this afternoon and thought I would roast.
Beastly hot.

Pretty good slide show of the park. Dumbledore's office looks quite authentic.
