| | |  Harry Potter and Disney To Team Up?
Media insider Jim Hill has posted on his website that the magic world of Hogwarts may soon be found in the magical world of Disney, as Warner Brothers may be close to finalizing a deal with the Disney Company to create a Harry Potter themed attraction. Quote:
Jim,
I would appreciate it if you kept this anonymous. But I have a friend who works for the Warner Brother legal department, who actually sees the contracts. And they just sent me the following e-mail:
"You didn't hear it from me. But there may be a certain wizard visiting the mouse kingdom in the future."
Quote:
Yes. After several years of protracted negotiations with author J. K. Rowling as well as Warner Bros. (During which the Walt Disney Company had to pay out an estimated $140 million in order to land the network broadcasting rights for both "Sorcerer's Stone" and "Chamber of Secrets"), it appears that the Mouse is just inches away from finally acquiring the rights to use the characters and settings from all seven of the "Harry Potter" books in a theme park setting.
The entire article may be read here.
At present, this news must be treated as a rumor, as it is not yet confimed by Warner Brothers and apparently it has cropped up before!
Thanks to HPANA for the tip!  | |

I've heard about this years ago, and there still hasn't been any kind of development. In a way, HP is kind of tied to Disney already. Disney owns ABC, ABC owns the rights to the HP films. I've seen them selling HP books at stores in Disney World.
If they made a HP attraction, Disney would be the best to do it. Disney is magical. I'd certainly be excited  | |

I hope that Disney gets the rights to HP...  I've been to Disney twice and I loved it, so having HP there will only make it better....

That really is cool, but a bit weird aswell...
I mean the whole combination: Harry Potter & Disney XD
I hope they make one of those rides in both parks, and not just the American one...

SWEET! Disney is probably the best place to do it since its considered a magical place.
