UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT — With “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1″ heading to Blu-ray and DVD on April 15 from Warner Home Video and the final film heading to theaters this summer, Harry Potter fans can live the magic year-round in the new Universal Studios Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter (see video below). Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is the main attraction in this new section of the Islands of Adventure park, where fans explore Hogwarts Academy on foot and then take off in a new ride. There are also a pair of rollercoasters – Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff – and shops and a restaurant straight from the hit movies and J.K. Rowlings bestsellers.

3DHollywood.net partner John Gaudiosi of GamerLive.TV recently had an exclusive interview with Thierry Coup, Senior Vice President of Universal Creative, in which Thierry talks about why the Potter attraction designers opted to create “physical 3D” elements instead of simulated 3D, and how video games – including the Harry Potter games from Electronic Arts – influence the wizards who build today’s modern theme park marvels.
