Harry Potter Theme Park at Universal

Universal Studios in Orlando has promised a "first-ever glimpse" of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter later this month. The Potter Adventure will be in it's Islands of Adventure Park in Orlando, Florida.

The glimpse will come in the form of a Webcast on Sept. 15, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Reporters and bloggers have been getting invitations to the event. I've gotten mine and will sure to let you know all about the event as it unfolds.

Universal announced the Wizarding World in May 2007 and has released few details since. The "theme park within a theme park" is expected to include a 15-story Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

There will also be a Hogsmeade Village with shops selling chocolate frogs, butter beer and wands.

Presumably, visitors will pay in U.S. currency, not in the knuts, sickles and galleons of Harry Potter's world.

Stay Tuned... I will keep you posted.
