'Harry Potter' Super Bowl Commercial Released Early

It was more than a year ago that Universal Studios Orlando first announced their plans to recreate the magic of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series in a new theme park titled The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Set to open in Spring 2010, the park will be a new addition to the resort’s already established Islands of Adventures amusement park, which already features the likes of Marvel Superheroes and Jurassic Park. Stuart Craig, the set designer of the Harry Potter films has been hired to design the park in order to give it a true sense of authenticity and recognition.

Universal had previously announced that its newest park would be featured in a commercial to be aired during the Super Bowl. The commercial has already made its way onto the Internet, however. As promised, the short spot shows a beautiful glimpse into the world by putting the fans in Harry’s shoes. The commercial heavily features the village of Hogsmeade and what it will be like for fans to explore Harry’s world. It all takes place at Hogwarts Castle, which is sure to rival Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World down the street.
