6 Big Predictions For Universal Studios Hollywood's Mystery Announcement

Again, this one is a bit of an outsider.

Universal Studios Hollywood have only just opened their very own Hogsmede in April so it seems a bit quick to already be announcing that they will be bringing to life a new area of the Wizarding World.

Fans at the west coast park would certainly love to see a Diagon Alley at Hollywood or even perhaps another part of the the Harry Potter Universe.

The LA Times reported back in 2015 that the company had plans to expand Diagon Alley into the current Waterworld space. Waterworld is a good attraction, but it isn't a Diagon Alley. The proximity of it to Hogsmede also makes perfect sense. Universal could easily add in a Hogwarts Express ride to take guests from one part to another.

As well as Diagon Alley, we think Hollywood be the perfect place for a Ministry of Magic area. Generally, most theme parks like to give their fans a reason to try out the other theme parks, so putting in something that doesn't exist at the other parks is extremely likely.

There have been a few rumours that the Ministry of Magic might make its way to Orlando, but Hollywood could be a great place for it. Universal Hollywood has two different levels with the Upper Lot and the Lower Lot. If you are familiar with the Harry Potter franchise you will know that the ways you get into the Ministry is to dial M.A.G.I.C in a certain telephone box and descend down, or more disgustingly flush yourself down some public toilets.

Let's also not forget about the Floo Network, where witches and wizards travel between fireplaces to get to their destination.

Could the split level Universal Hollywood Studios make for a great ride to take you down to a Ministry of Magic?
