\"\"LTRP Note:<\/strong> Many Christian parents see nothing wrong with the Harry Potter series. Unfortunately, Harry Potter does not point young readers to the Gospel but rather to the darkness of the occult. The Harry Potter theme park<\/a> will undoubtedly be visited by millions of children and young teens.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph<\/em><\/strong>
\nClearly visible is the iconic shape of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, covered in a dusting of fake snow. Scheduled to be opened in early spring, the 20-acre park, which is in the Universal Orlando Resort, is estimated to have cost upwards of \u00a3160 million.<\/p>\n

The Potter theme park will offer guests a tour of Hogwarts Castle, a visit to Ollivander’s wand shop and the chance to drink some real-life butter beer. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be followed up in November by the release of the last film in the series, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows<\/em>. Click here to read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n
