Wizarding World of Harry Potter on its way to Hollywood!

Inevitably, it would seem, Warner Bros and Universal
have finally answered what many of the Harry Potter
fandom have long been asking: When will a
"Wizarding World of Harry Potter" theme park
reach the west coast?

Well, those worries are now over.

In a press announcement made by Ron Meyer,
President and COO of Universal Studios,

he revealed that the addition of the "Wizarding World"is one of the many things
being added to Universal Hollywood in its estimated $1.6 billion budget for its upcoming
additions and expansions, including the induction of the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter."
The park will be located at Universal Hollywood, with constuction beginning sometime this Summer.

With production to begin so soon, it can be expected that we'll hear more updates on it soon.

With one "Wizarding World" location in Florida, another one in the works in Japan,
and this one packing its bags for Hollywood, the question now is: Where to next?

PotterMore launches on PlayStation home today!

For those of you who've been,
as Fred and George Weasley would say,
"hiding under a rock," we thought we'd give
a somewhat important announcement
concerning PotterMore,
and its future on PlayStation Home:
It's been released to the public! Go see it now!


We won't waste your time with a lot of needless blabber on our part,
but here's a press release issued today to everyone who subscribed
to PotterMore's e-mail notification system. (Including us.)

"We’re delighted to announce that from today, April 3,
owners of Sony’s PlayStation® 3 will be able to experience Pottermore
in a completely new way.

A selection of the beautifully illustrated Moments from Pottermore.com have now been
developed into virtual 3D environments, to bring you Pottermore at PlayStation Home.

Step inside Diagon Alley™ and board the Hogwarts Express

as your own customisable avatar, and enjoy four new mini-games;
experience the mayhem of Book Herding, test your knowledge with a Pottermore quiz,
share and collect Pottermore Trading Cards, and take part in an illicit Wizard’s Duel.

Dress your avatar in a wizard outfit – whether house robes or more casual wizard attire
– and purchase a companion from a choice of 14 owls, cats and toads.

As a Pottermore.com user, you can link your account with your PlayStation Network ID

to access additional content and spaces."
When it says "A selection of the...moments...have now been developed," It may mean
that some of the content that has appeared on the computer version of PotterMore may not
be visable to PotterMore on PlayStation Home users, or at least, not yet, so be warned.

Also, and this probably goes without saying,
you'll need a PlayStation 3 to access PotterMore on PlayStation Home.

We'll try to have a full review of PotterMore on PlayStation Home up for you all soon!
