Coming soon: Harry Potter the theme park
A Hogwarts theme park sounds pretty cool, but Entertainment Weekly could have picked a better picture of ol’ Harry. Unless that’s his roller-coaster face, the guy looks like he’s midway through a catheter insertion. Or maybe he’s frightened of all the Potterheads who, judging from the response to the EW item and all the movies, will never be satisfied with any attempts to bring J.K. Rowling’s brainchild into the physical realm. Or maybe he’s just yawning, like that comical Queen Latifah album cover where she’s meant to look bad-ass but just looks tired. Let’s all just wait for the park to open in 2009 and hope there will be some Quidditch brooms for us to ride.

Just to be clear, it isn't a stand-alone Harry Potter theme park. It's a new "island" (the sixth, specifically) at Universal's Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando Resort.
