Book a Florida holiday and visit the world of Harry Potter

Families booking an Orlando villa holiday next year will be able to explore the magic and mystery of the Harry Potter world.

In spring 2010, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is due to open to the public at Universal's Islands of Adventure theme park in Florida.

The new attraction promises to provide visitors with a "one-of-a-kind experience" that is in the spirit of the popular series, with sights, sounds and attractions from all the books and films.

At the centre will be a recreation of Hogwarts Castle, which will be open for visitors to explore. Other attractions at the site will include Hogsmeade Station, the Hogwarts Express, the Owlery, Ollivanders, Dervish and Bangers, Zonko's and Honeydukes.

If that isn't enough, visitors to the park will also have a chance to see the Hog's Head, Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods, the Dragon Challenge and the Flight of the Hippogriff.

According to a poll by About.com, excitement over the newest addition to the Universal Resort is already reaching fever pitch, so it may be a good idea for families planning to rent a Florida villa next year to book their tickets to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in advance.
