Harry Potter Vacation Package
Universal Orlando has had huge success with its beautifully detailed mini-theme park, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and is now planning "A Celebration of the Harry Potter Films" to take place there November 11 to 13th 2011. Two vacation packages are available that include screenings of all eight Harry Potter movies, Q and A sessions with cast members and film-makers, early admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a private gala evening, and more.
