Yesterday we told you about a rumor that J.K. Rowling and Disney were discussing the possibility of a Harry Potter theme park. A spokesperson for Rowling has told TLC that the reports are indeed false. | |

I have to say that a Harry Potter theme park might be too much. And it does seem like something that would be hard to do and make realistic looking. Although I may be wrong. I mean technology is great these days. I would be interested in a tour of the Harry Potter set instead. To be there while their filming and see all the actors/actresses in costumes and how the sets are done. That would be exciting to see.

Man I wish the rumor was true. Then it would give me another reason to bug my parents to take me back to Disney World or to Disney Land some day soon.

Oh a theme park was a very good idea. Wonder how would they make it. But i guess JK had her own reasons to reject the idea.

It would have been fun, but I guess a Harry Potter Theme Park is taking the mania too far. Jo probably had her reasons for rejecting it.  | |

I have been suggesting this to my friends for some time now! Even to the extent of contriving rides etc, such as moving stair cases, roller coster broom rides or virtual Quidditch matches. It would be a fantastic idea with Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, Diagon alley, Knockturn alley, The ministry of magic, St Mungos and the Burrow, maybe even Godricks Hollow. There are endless possibilities including the Forbidden forrest with all its creatures including Grawp and the knight bus. I could go on for ever, but I'm sure you get the drift and have probably had similar conceptions yourselves.

THat would have been cool. But I could understand her reasons. She is very brilliant, not only in her writing, but in protecting the integrity of her story!

I'll join the ranks of the few who think that a HP theme park would be too cheesy, things like this are only there to make money, personaly I don't think that there are enough things in the world of Potter to make a theme park.  | |

i think she make the right decision; a theme park would have been a little tacky in my opinion.

I love the books and the movies, but I don't think a theme park would be a good idea!
