Spread it!
I guess we'll do a whole "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" series, this week, since we have so much information to share from last week.
Not only did Universal reveal the opening date for the Wizarding World, last week (June 18th), but they also revealed quite a bit of information about the most guarded secret in the new park, the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride.
Here's a quick overview for the ride from Universal:
