Construction continues on building the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park attraction in Orlando, Florida. Courtesy of Screamscape and Orlando Rocks, we can see a host of new photos, including work being done building the snowy covered villages found in Hogsmeade. You can see these photos here and here.As readers will recall, the snowy covered buildings of Hogsmeade are part of the attraction fans will be able to visit at the Harry Potter theme park, as well as Hogwarts castle and more, as seen in the promotional artwork released when Universal and Warner Bros. made the official announcement last May. At last word, this new theme park is tentatively set to open December, 2009. Thanks to Screamscape!

I think out of anything in the books, what I’d love to see most is a ride through the department of mysteries. Or maybe even a show. It’d be pretty cool to watch a bunch of people reenact the dueling scene in OOTP.

Hey Matea, you can get roundtrip tickets to Orlando from Croatia for US $1,000 on travelocity.com! Also hotels in Orlando are fairly inexpensive as long as you don’t stay inside Universal or Disney :)

those pictures make me nervous… are they going to Leave ANYTHING Intact in the lost continent (meaning not touching it)

or it will all be transformed into harry potter or taken out?

I really hope they don’t take out the enchanted oak tavern- it is such a great restaurant

I don“t see anything but construction work on the pics. Yet I fear it will be as horrible as disney land.
