SO awesome! I just wish the inside of the castle was like the real inside of the castle, instead of a roller coaster.

No it is. You will be able to go inside and it will be designed exactly like the movie. They will also have Hogsmeade where all the restaurant and gift shops will be at.

I think Harry Potters real. I think JK Rowling = Hermione.

This actually has been planned for years. It was announced like three years ago I think. This castle is right across my job, so I always see it.

A HP theme park I guess? Guess that's inevitable. Still, having it in America is outrageous, it should clearly be located in bumfuck nowhere, Scotland, just like the real Hogwarts.

It's the castle that you see in HP, you'll be able to go inside, and see how it is. I think they will have a Hogwarts express ride or something (I'm not sure) and behind they will habve Hogsmeade where all the restaurant and gift shops will be at.

Yeah, or England. It'd make more sense in the UK.

Why not in America? It's where HP is more successful.

Nah. Definitely Scotland. Just slap it up in Rannoch Moor. Because if you look at the background in the movies, it's blatantly obvious that's where Harry Potter should be said. I know it's not ever stated implicitly in the book, but it pretty much is Scotland, I guarantee you. Even if JK says otherwise, she's wrong!

And Steph...I was kinda joking. Although I do think it would be cool to build a theme park Hogwarts somewhere that could be plausible for Hogwarts to actually be based, I am well aware of the reasons, both logistical and most importantly economical for why a Harry Potter theme park would be in sunny Florida as opposed to cold, gloomy, wet Scotland. There's a reason I said "bumfuck nowhere".

No, most of it will be a robotic roller coaster, and there will be a "small area" that is actually a sight seeing area.

I'm not sure I see where there's much room for rides in a Harry Potter theme park. A Quidditch thing, maybe a broom chase thing, probably some dragons if those ever featured into Harry Potter. But were there crazy runaway trains, boat rides, and stuff like that? A Star Wars theme park makes more sense to me. All the staff walking round as Storm troopers. A Spaceship Earth sized Death Star, Mos Eisley Cantina, the Hoth rebel base, Endor, and since they'd have to include prequels, some of those places that are so dull I've forgotten all their names. They could have a bunch of flight simulator rides for all the major appropriate battles, the death star run, Hoth, the Millennium Falcon flying into the centre of the Death Star.

Come on Lucas, sign off on that.
