| | |  Character auditions for Harry Potter theme park?
Character auditions for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter park in Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida, are said to be underway. They are said to be "casting all the major parts for the characters in the books".
Other parts will be created including a wand instructor to teach kids "how to do magic tricks". Also there will be wizards who walk amongst the visitors, who will engage in duels with each other - these will take place at specific spots where special effects will be in place. Quote:
"For example, one wizard throws a spell at the other, the other reacts, does stunts and the places around, or behind them, bursts into flames or there is an explosion."
Quote:
“There is going to be a ride through Gringotts that is based on the rails through the bank. There will be a stage show that comes from Goblet of Fire of the scene in the grave yard where Harry fights Voldemort.”
These reports are unconfirmed at the moment.
The theme park is scheduled to open late 2009.

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I dunno, although I cannot wait for the HPTP to open, I also can't help but wonder why it will all be set in the States as opposed to the UK...And oh how I wish that I could be a part of it, but I give my sincerest best wishes to the lucky people who get the parts!!!!!

I would be a lock for Tonks if I tried out. I am naturally clumsy! I never thought that could come in handy. Yeah me!

I think I'm gonna apply for a part time position as a walkaround FX wizard... does anyone know if there's a link to it? The universalorlandojobs site doesn't have the positions listed yet.

Why is all the good stuff in Florida?
Oh well, I'll take a vacation there when it opens. That would be an awesome summer job though, really.
