STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
The next time your family goes to Disney World, you might make a side trip to Harry Potter Land. Orlando, the home of Disney, will become the site for a Harry Potter theme park. You can stop by the Forbidden Forest. You can attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All you have to do is wait until the year 2009, which is when the park opens. And there will be a place for those who think that books and movies, and books and movies, and more books and movies are not enough "Harry Potter."
