5 Things We Know About the New ‘Harry Potter’ Theme Park!

Universal Orlando’s The Wizarding World of Harry Potter recently launched its interactive website, and while we have more details about the sweet theme park, we still don’t know when it’s opening. “Spring 2010″ is not definitive enough. But here’s what we do know:

Hogwarts Castle is considered a ride. Within the castle, park guests will get to experience the castle through a ride called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which takes you through iconic locations such as Dumbledore’s office, Gryffindor common room and more using “state-of-the-art” technology.

There are two roller coasters. Depending on whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just a ride-lover, there’s something here for you. Dragon Challenge is a high-speed roller coaster (actually, two), and Flight of the Hippogriff is a more family-oriented coaster that your little sister won’t be scared on.
There’s one restaurant called Three Broomsticks. Here you’ll be able to enjoy a pumpkin juice, nosh on fish and chips or munch on other tavern fare. There are plenty of amazing desserts, too!

There’s plenty of shopping here. If you want to walk away with a souvenir, you’ll have five different places to spend your money. The theme park will house Dervish and Banges, Filches Emporium of Confiscated Goods, Honeydukes for sweets, Ollivanders wand shop, the Owl Post and Zonko’s the joke shop.

Tickets are now available. Although we don’t know the exact opening date for the theme park, tickets and vacation packages are available for purchase online. This has to mean that it’s going to open its doors soon, or a lot of people will be disappointed. Keep checking back at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter website to find out when the grand opening is!

Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato sit close to each other to keep each other warm as they shoot the music video for “Make A Wave” on the beach in Los Angeles on Monday evening (February 15).

The BFF tweeted back and forth this afternoon with Joe sharing a pic and saying, “Demi hates this picture. But I like it.”

Demi tweeted some words of advice for all the girls looking for love out there: “He’s not you’re prince charming if he doesn’t make sure you know that you’re his princess.” So true!

“Make A Wave” will be featured in Disneynature’s OCEANS, out this Earth Day.

How To Train Your Dragon Poster & Trailer!

Check out the newest poster for Dreamworks’ How To Train Your Dragon!

Based on the children’s book of the same name, the new animated feature focuses on a Viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief… who just happens to be Hiccup’s father.

However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

Also featuring the voice talents of America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, and Gerard Butler, the film will hit theaters on March 26,
