The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open June 18 at Universal Orlando Resort. The theme park was designed with the help of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Rides will include Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, where riders enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to visit locations like Dumbledore's office, the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, the Gryffindor common room and more before you "soar above the castle grounds," a press release says. The Dragon Challenge is a high-speed roller coaster, but it's a different ride depending on if you ride a Chinese Fireball or a Hungarian Horntail. Flight of the Hippogriff is a family coaster that includes spiralling, diving and swooping. The park will also include shopping and restaurants. "Guests will experience firsthand a completely new adventure featuring the iconic characters, amazing creatures and recognizable locations they've only read in the books or seen in the films," Thierry Coup, creative director of the park, said in the release.
