The Wizarding World of the beloved series Harry Potter will open in Spring of 2010 with many places fans will recognize from the series.

No specific date has been given for the opening of this long-anticipated park, except for the fact that it WILL be opened this next spring. The press release this morning confirmed that as a solid fact.

Some of the attractions and rides consist of Ollivander’s, Zonko’s Joke Shop, the Owlery, Honeydukes, the Three Broomsticks, and many other rides and attractions.

See the entire press release with descriptions of the rides and shops that will be featured in the wizarding world at UniversalOrlando.com. See pictures of the construction progress below as well as a video walkthrough of the park.

The first look at Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has been released to the public. This star-studded adventure has been awaited for quite some time.

The adventure ensues with Alice(Mia Wasikowska), The Mad Hatter(Johnny Depp), The White Queen(Anne Hathaway), The Red Queen(Helena Bonham Carter), The White Rabbit(Michael Sheen), The Caterpiller(Alan Rickman), The Jabberwock(Christopher Lee), The Cheshire Cat(Stephen Fry) and other crazy, colorful characters.(Try saying that five times fast!)

Alan Rickman is one of the only stars that I can’t seem to find any picture of in costume. The reason? He didn’t have a costume! Rickman’s face is pasted onto a completely animated caterpillar.

Rickman explains,”So, it’s a mixture. The movie is a mixture of live action, animation, and stop motion, so it’s very complicated and I don’t think all three have been put together ever before. So I’ll be with a live action Alice. I will be a construct.”
