London Mayor “Jealous” Over Wizarding World Of Harry Potter

It would seem that the Mayor Of London Boris Johnson is still getting rather annoyed with Warner Brothers in that Universal Studios in Orlando has gotten the very first Harry Potter entertainment section anywhere in the world. As a Brit I see where he is coming from on this, after all Harry Potter is largely based in London when not at Hogwarts and Florida just never has that gloomy feel that Harry Potter locations such as Kings Cross and the outside of the Ministry Of Magic has.

On the other hand do we have a successful theme park in this country, arguably not? Chessington is for kids that have nothing to do on their days off, Thorpe park can be done in a couple of hours on a quiet day and Alton Towers is a poor rip off of Universal Studios and Disney combined. It really is no wonder Warner Brothers chose the biggest location for theme parks in the world for Harry Potter as it is going to be getting much more attention and more importantly for WB, money.

Once again I see Johnson’s point in that loads of British people will have to save up just so they can go and see something that rightfully belongs in their own country but that’s life right? Better to be in Florida where it is half decent rather than London where you are more likely to get mugged than have a good time.

To end on a positive note I am sure it is going to be worth saving up and visiting, it is one o f the main reasons I am once again heading out to Florida this year. (although I was going to go anyways, I cant resist the place). With the opening just a couple of weeks away now you can enjoy this very cheesy trailer that was aired at superbowl this year.
