Everglades

One of the brightest and most interesting parks of the huge entertainment region of Orlando will not leave indifferent those for whom incomprehensible and somewhat complicated words like “quidditch”, “hogwarts”, “hogsmil”, “gryffindor”, “pufendui” and the like are not just a random set of vowels and consonants. But they serve as a signal to start the process of rapid heartbeat. In simpler and clearer terms, we are talking about a huge park, where the world of Harry Potter, his friends and enemies is recreated practically in the original and with the utmost attention to detail.
The area of this self-sufficient mini-World is 8 hectares. And it was opened quite recently, only in 2010. No wonder that during the creation of the park were used only the latest technology.

To create a “Harry Potter World”, in addition to the latest achievements of scientific thought, were involved artists and designers who participated in the creation of the film epic. And, of course, did not do without the participation of the writer Joanne Rowling – the author of Harry. So you can not worry about the fact that the world of your favorite characters almost no different from what everyone had seen on the screens. For example, in one of the halls of the famous Hogwarts Castle School of Wizardry hangs exactly the same and, by the way, no less talkative than in the movies, portraits. And on one of the streets, despite the perpetual and quite warm, to say the least, Florida summer, there is a very real Christmas atmosphere. And the roofs of the half-timbered houses are covered with snow that looks real.

In Harry Potter World, every tourist will have a unique chance to taste cream beer at Three Broomsticks and buy a wand at Ollivander’s Shop.

The journey will begin when you’ll be invited to board the real Hogwarts Express, which is on its way to Hogsmeade Village. You’ll get a unique chance to sample cream beer at the Three Broomsticks and purchase a wand at the Ollivander’s Shop. At the center of the park towers the majestic Hogwarts, the school of wizardry and wizardry, next to which you’ll find a Rattlesnake Willow and a greenhouse with screaming mandrakes. Here you can visit the pubs where the characters sat and have a pint or two of pumpkin juice. The World of Harry Potter really is a complete immersion in the world of Harry Potter, the main thing is not to lose touch with reality at all.
