Here's a sneak peek at the Hogwarts Express, a feature of the new Harry Potter theme park attraction being built at Universal Orlando Resort.
The steam engine and Hogsmeade Station are part of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, scheduled to open this spring. It will feature Hogwarts Castle and other themed rides, shops and a restaurant.

I just love Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling has such a vivid imagination! I found a very interesting site about Harry. Here you can order any frame from the movie and get it as a poster

I was there on opening weekend and waited 3 hours to ride the Forbidden Journey (i was one of the lucky ones)! Guess what? I was worth every minute! Do that ride if you're going to Islands of Adventure. Don't worry about the wait time!
