Universal Orlando readies Springfield and Diagon Alley

                             

Springfield, Springfield it’s a hell of a town! At least it will be when Universal Studios Florida gets done with it! The all new area is scheduled to be open “later this summer” and by the looks of construction, it’s well on it’s way. Meanwhile a spell is brewing as Diagon Alley is being transformed from steel beams to actual buildings!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is moving along faster than you can say Quidditch! The area will be home to Diagon Alley and feature not only the wizard shops, but also some of the Muggle areas of London. The area is expected to be open sometime in 2014.
