Universal Studios Orlando officially announced today the new attraction will open June 18th 2010. The attraction has been much anticipated and will likely be a big draw for the theme park. The 20 acre attraction is being called "a theme park inside of a theme park" but will only require tickets to Islands of Adventure. The attraction will feature shops, restaurants and rides based on the popular Harry Potter movies.

Recently Universal nearly doubled ticket prices and also introduced a ticket system similar to that of Disney World clearly banking on the success of this new attraction.
