ROWLING AIDING DEVELOPERS OF HARRY POTTER THEME PARK

J.K. Rowling has been acting as a consultant on a Harry Potter high-tech ride at Universal Studios Orlando due to open next spring, the theme park disclosed Tuesday as it presented details of the planned area. Rowling, it said, had in fact named the ride, "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey," and had lent her advice on the various scenes and buildings. Visitors are "going to be swept up into the greatest parts of the movies and the books. We've pushed every technology available to us to give guests a theme park experience unlike any they've had before," Paul Daurio, producer of the Potter area, told the Associated Press.
