My guess is that it won’t be open by March 23, but you never know…

I heard that you will be able to walk around inside the castle and in the castle will character look-a-likes! Also, and I’m not sure if this is true I only heard it from a friend, that you can somehow get an acting job if you act like a wizard/Hogwarts student if you walk around talking in a British accent and you carry a wand around. Also Zonko’s joke shop will be in Hogsmeade.

Sorry Gala. but Heather is right. (nowI get to show what a HP dork I really am…)

Alnwick Castle -Exterior shots minus the Turrets and towers. which do not really exist…

Gloucester Cathedral- interior corridors

Duke Humfrey’s Library, Bodleian Library- Library scenes

Christ Church College, St Aldate’s – Oxford- The Great Hall and Great Staircases

Lacock Abbey – Wiltshire -Hogwarts School, Various interior scenes)

Durham Cathedral – Durham Interior Hogwarts Shots.

And to my knowledge Alnwick castle has no museum of Harry potter (or to be fair they did not as of the time when I visited two years ago).

Eliza- it isn’t a HP museum in Scotland, it one of several churches. In addition to the churches, they have also filmed at universities, built set pieces on sound stages, and used CGI for all the castle scenes in the movies.

The castle used in the filming of Harry Potter is acutally Alnwick Castle in Northumerland, England – not Scotland. The castle is medieval and is the ancestoral home of the Earls and Dukes of Percy. This is the link to their home page:-

visit the site and you will learn more of the casle history and also the fiming of Harry Potter. I live in the North East of England, so naturally I’m proud of my local heratige.

Oh yeah, there actually is a real Hogwarts in Scotland- they use it for the set of hogwarts, at least. It think it’s got a hp museum inside or something like that

They can’t build the REAL castle, Becky, because the real castle is huge and they just don’t have that much room. Besides, no one sees the building, so who cares? Just be happy they’re building HP world at all…

I wish we got to go and walk Hogwarts ourselves it seems unfair they cant make a life size replica

It looks seriously AMAZING. I can’t wait to see it!

Also, Universal say that it will be open Spring 2010, maybe even as early as the end of March!

On the second photo from the bottom it shows a large white building which is actually the inside of the ‘castle’. It is quite frankly an insult to the real hogwarts. why can’t they bother to build a REAL castle. It still looks good though

LOL – and Disney thought they had a castle.

Omg… my heart is pumping. It seriously is. The castle looks AMAZING. Like in my dreams. These pictures remind me how much I wish Hogwarts was real… This is the closets thing I’m going to get to Harry Potter. But still, I can’t wait to go. I’ll probably go next year, plan a big trip to Orlando. I want to wait a bit, cause it seems that the twin’s joke shop isn’t included. So hopefully by the time I go, it’ll be there. They should have included the Burrow too. Oh well.

It might just be me or my computer, but there is no video, just a blank spot where it should be. Technical issues maybe??
