J.K. Rowling has penned a brand new story featuring the characters in her fantasy best-selling Harry Potter book series. According to the Sunday Mirror, the story is being adapted into a mini-movie which will be shown at Universal Studio’s The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter in Orlando, Florida. The report says that all of the regular cast, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, are said to be involved. They will shoot the mini movie, and additional sequences and clips which will be included in the rides in Leavesden, Hertfordshire UK.
The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is expected to open next year or early 2010 at Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure in Orlando. The 20-acre island will feature attractions, shops and restaurants set inside locations such as the Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade Village and the iconic Hogwarts castle (concept art seen above).

again, i really hope she revisits this universe somewhere down the road. with ron & harry as autuers (sp?) there’s alot more fun that could still be had. it’d be even better if it went into darker ‘R’ territory, as all the kids who are reading now will be old enough to enjoy some true terror - which just might be a good enough reason to get rowling back into the groove.

A mini-movie? why am I thinking this will just be a guy doing a singing telegram and being attacked with a white trash woman with a poo on a stick?

You guys are insane… A rated R Harry Potter? Never going to happen due to the millions of kids that discover HP every day… Plus this is going to be a cash cow for both Rowling and Universal I’m sure they won’t fuck this up, I can’t wait!

One day, someone is going to have to explain to man how Universal Studios snatched up Harry Potter, a Warner Bros. property, from under the nose of Six Flags Theme Parks, a Warner Bros. company.
