– The Los Angeles Wizarding World now has an opening date — and Universal made the announcement in a unique way.
– With the new Star Wars opening soon, we wonder: Could the Harry Potter series “awaken” in the same way with the original stars?
– In many ways, 2015 was a year of rebirth for the Harry Potter fandom. We preview what’s ahead in 2016.
