"Wizardy World of Harry Potter"

Yeah..it's been extreme heat alright! ; It's hot down here. ; I wouldn't stand in line for more than 45 minutes for a Disney attraction, unless the line was air-conditioned...let alone for anything non-Disney.

It will be many many years before I see the Wizardlying place...as I have no plan to ever see it. ; No offense to those who like Universal or Harry Potter - it just isn't my thing. ; If it ain't Disney, I've got no reason to head to the Orlando area to see it.

 

I don't care WHAT it is, I am not waiting in line for 6 hours for ANYTHING!! ; I had read on a forum that there were reports of the wait being at 7 hours but I couldn't find anything to confirm that last night. ; I also heard that the stores are so small that they have lines outside the stores to keep them from getting too crowded. ; I can't wait to see the fall out once the newness of this has worn out.

 

I find it funny in that many people I know who have been chiding people for standing in such long lines at Universal were lamenting missing such openings as the Nemo submarine Voyage and Toy Story Midway Mania at Disneyland which easily topped topped 9+ hrs for a way for many days.

Tim was with us in Disneyland at the launch of the Nemo Subs and he knows first hand that we didn't wait in line. ; We have a very special friend (my Make-A-Wish Nephew) who got us on the ride really quick.

 

But people are buying them in DROVES. ; Uni's got a hit on their hands, for sure. ; Good thing they got it open before the last two movies[nb]For now; Ms. Rowling has already hinted at reopening the cash register, I mean her creative journal to write more books[/nb] came out. ; It'll keep the crowds until at least after the last one is in theatres. ; Assuming that they don't let it decline.

 

Oooooh have fun!

JK has stated in countess interviews with the press and her fan sites that she has boxes and boxes of back story jotted down for all the characters enough to write other stories that don't even involved Harry, Hermoine and Ron. ; She stated in those interviews that she had to basically write biographies for everyone who may even have a tangential involvement in the main story so that she could minimize continuity issues and feel like she knew the characters.

I know many people have begged for her to give it the Star Wars treatment and tell the story of Tom Riddle and many more have wanted a more detail accounting of Dumbeldore's past than was given in the final book including the now infamous revelation that he was gay

 

It wasn't revealed in the books. ; It was revealed in interviews with JK after the last book was released
