In the last few weeks, Universal Studio’s in Hollywood has been running technical trials for their new Harry Potter park, opening this April. As we reported last week, his allows some lucky park visitors, fans, and reporters behind the scenes for an early sneak peek at the park. This week, the L.A. Weekly revealed their high resolution images of their chance to see the park.

The L.A. Weekly reported:

 

“When The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which includes the village of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, officially opens its gates on April 7, attendance in Universal City is likely to go through the roof. However, a soft opening that began a few weeks ago has allowed lucky visitors to the theme park early access to this truly magical experience without the crowds that are almost guaranteed to swoop in on their broomsticks once spring break begins.

“Universal Studios Hollywood invited L.A. Weekly to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter for an official sneak peek at the new “land” inspired by J.K. Rowling’s magical novels and the wildly successful film franchise.  From the mind-blowing motion-based 3-D ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey to the cold and foamy Butterbeer, we can tell you first-hand that the wait for Harry and his friends to arrive in L.A. has been worth it. All photos by Jared Cowan.  Prior to the April 7 grand opening, Wizarding World is accessible only on select days.  Follow #PotterWatch to get more info.”
