Video: A tour of Hogwarts Castle at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
 

Universal Orlando have released a new video which tours Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which will be home to the Forbidden Journey ride at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The tour follows Mark Woodbury, President of Universal Creative, as he walks through the portrait gallery decorated with photos of the four Hogwarts founders, Dumbledore's headmaster office, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom. A brief clip of Harry riding on his Firebolt during a Quidditch match, which will be part of the Forbidden Journey ride, is shown at the end. It can be seen below.

If you look closely you can barley make out that each founder is holding/wearing his or her item. Helga's cup, Rowena's Diadem, and Salazar's Locket. Of course we've already seen Godric's sword, and I've seen a photo of him holding it in his frame. I'm pretty sure these will also be the same props in The Deathly Hallows movies.

Looks awesome..
