5 ways in which the "Harry Potter" magic lives on

5. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter brings Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to life in Orlando, Fla.

This theme park in the Universal Studios park in Orlando, Florida, is as close to Hogwarts as any of us will ever get. The park features a true-to-the-boo recreation of Hogsmeade village, complete with an Owl Post office, a Three Broomsticks pub serving Butterbeer and other wizarding foods, a Honeydukes sweets shop, and various gift shops. There are also two roller coasters – one dragon and one hippogriff-themed – and inside a replica of Hogwarts itself there is a ride called "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey." This ride takes park visitors through a recreation of various scenes from the books and movies and is said to be truly magical.

So even if there are no more new "Potter"-related releases from J.K. Rowling herself (or least, not outside Pottermore), "Potter" fans seem to be having no trouble incorporating the wizarding world into their lives and keeping the spirit of the "Potter" magic alive and well.
