Construction is full steam ahead for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood, set to open to the world sometime next year.

New photos, from MiceChat, show that the exteriors of the shops in Hogsmeade Village - similar to its Orlando and Japan predecessors - are shaping up, as well as the outside of Hogwarts Castle overlooking the town.

















Hi-res aerial shots of the entire Wizarding World area in Los Angeles can be seen under the cut.
