For all those Potter fans - the theme park is underway. The most interesting pics here are of the actual construction rather than the renderings of various storefronts & castle exteriors/interiors. Now, the first thing that strikes me in the construction pics is that Hogwart's northern climate is going to be hard to replicate in Orlando, but don't worry as there seems to be artificial snow planned for castle exteriors. Wonder what the park will feel like on on a heat alert day!

Given what happened with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise - theme park/films/interactive theme park ride, we can't be far from an interactive/augmented reality Harry Potter park - I can see it..
