| | |  Harry Potter and Disney To Team Up?
Media insider Jim Hill has posted on his website that the magic world of Hogwarts may soon be found in the magical world of Disney, as Warner Brothers may be close to finalizing a deal with the Disney Company to create a Harry Potter themed attraction. Quote:
Jim,
I would appreciate it if you kept this anonymous. But I have a friend who works for the Warner Brother legal department, who actually sees the contracts. And they just sent me the following e-mail:
"You didn't hear it from me. But there may be a certain wizard visiting the mouse kingdom in the future."
Quote:
Yes. After several years of protracted negotiations with author J. K. Rowling as well as Warner Bros. (During which the Walt Disney Company had to pay out an estimated $140 million in order to land the network broadcasting rights for both "Sorcerer's Stone" and "Chamber of Secrets"), it appears that the Mouse is just inches away from finally acquiring the rights to use the characters and settings from all seven of the "Harry Potter" books in a theme park setting.
The entire article may be read here.
At present, this news must be treated as a rumor, as it is not yet confimed by Warner Brothers and apparently it has cropped up before!
Thanks to HPANA for the tip!  | |

Aw,man! When I read the headline...I just knew it was something else.
You see,I've benn hoping and hoping that someone would think of the idea to make Harry Potter into an animated (cartoon) movie! (of course with permission and etc.) I just figured it'd be really cool to see HP animated (I mean they've got LEGO's!) and I don't think it would be so scary (as they claim) if it were animated. Just my idea...but a themed attraction,I guess I'm to old to be excited about that versus if I were 11. But it's still great news all the same

They can put it next to the CoN theme section too...then I can ride Aslan and walk down Diagon Alley...
But then the clincher...
What do you mean it's only going to be in the French Theme park?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo
*Ottery wakes up from his nightmare* Oh...sorry...but if they opened it in America then maybe Rupert will come here when they cut the ribbon...
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy .
But then the clincher...
It's just a rumor.

I've actually read this rumor before, except that they were planning an entire theme park for HP. It would be cool if this was for real...imagine being inside Honeydukes!

hhmmm... i hope it's Disneyland, not Disney World... Disneyland is only a 6 hour drive for me, unlike Disney World which is about a 6 hour FLIGHT from me.
That... would... be... so.. cool!! If, and when  , that happens, I'll be there when they open!

That's intersting news. Just hope the rides aren't just for toddlers. I mean I hope if they do have a section for Harry Potter it'll have at least two different rides. One ride for the children and another for all ages.
