Wizarding World of Harry Potter Coming Along Nicely

Nice to see something beautiful being built after just seeing something once beautiful left to rot ...

Universal has been pretty hush-hush about its new, sure-to-be-amazingly-popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter land at the Islands of Adventure. With a hard opening set for June 2010, however, buildings are going up fast, and it's getting harder and harder to hide them.

Click here and here to see a series of photos of the construction (thanks, Disney blog). Hogwarts castle especially is looking very impressive. I'm curious to see how they'll build a snowy English setting in the middle of steaming hot Florida (and with a tropical Dinoland right next door, too). I hope they have real snowy owls ...
