As expected, the grand opening of  Universal Orlando’s “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” was a smash hit with its impassioned “muggle” fans.

Thousands of frantic Potter fanatics stood in line for hours last Friday waiting to get into the much-anticipated theme park, and according to an article by USA Today,  Universal Orlando spokesman Tom Schroder counted at least 5,000 heads- all of whom were camped out in front of the park the night before the grand opening. The line was so long in fact, that it coiled all the way into Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure Park, where the “Wizarding World” is located. Various media outlets reported that on Twitter and other forums spectators joked about the line by calling it “Harry Potter and the Endless Line.”

Fans were more than willing to wait however, they had already waited six long years for this magical moment, so what’s a few more hours, right? And besides, they had Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and a few other Potter superstars eager to greet them at the mini-park.

By opening day, the number of “muggles” seemed to have tripled. Aerial photos of Universal Orlando revealed thousands of people in the area, leading Robert Niles, editor of ThemeParkInsider.com, to guesstimate figures in the tens of thousands.

Opening day was indeed a smash, but don’t fret if you missed it, the “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” is still ripe for the picking. We all know there’s more than 10,000 Potter fans, so for the rest of you out there- come on down to Orlando and experience what its like to be a part of the “Hogwarts” family.
