The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has proven to be nothing but magic for NBC Universal.
Since the Harry Potter theme park opened at Islands of Adventure last year, more than 7 million visitors have passed through the turn-styles, revivng the Universal brand in a big way.
The wild success of the park led to much speculation last month that more Potter parks would soon be on the way.
There are now several confirmed reports, including one from Variety.com that a new Wizarding World will land at Universal Studios Hollywood in California.
Specifics still need to be sorted out, including approval from author JK Rowling, but industry experts say a 2015 opening date is realistic. The new park would likely come with a price tag around $200 million.
