More Legos & WWoHP Excitement
So it seems like LEGO has plans to not only make a new Harry Potter video game, but to actually create new LEGO sets! This came as a surprise as they have previously said that they would stop making these sets after Movie 4. However it appears that they have not kept that promise, because here are some new sets! I must admit, a burning home is not exactly what I think of when I imagine LEGO, but I guess whatever works!
Also I think that it is imporant to note that today while watching the Olympics I saw two TV spots for the Wizarding World. Of course I had already seen both online, but there is just something special about seeing them on TV! When are they going to have that opening date?!

Deathly Hallows Filming
Filming for Deathly Hallows is currently taking place in Swinley Forest as reported by the video from London Taxi Tours. I'm guessing from the look of it that these odd tent structures have something to do with the goblins in 'The Goblins Revenge' chapter in which Harry, Ron, and Hermione overhear Dean, Ted, Griphook, Dirk, and Gornuck's (?) conversation in the Forest before Ron leaves. I'm not sure exactly what purpose those tents will have, because I doubt that's where the trio is staying.
It seems strange to think that soon filming for the final film will be over and that there will be no more Harry Potter location filming and leaks from the press. There will be no more videos of the crew filming the Knight Bus in busy London or of them filming at some far off castle. But let's not think about that now, we have two whole movies ahead of us!

WWoHP Commercial
The flythrough Hogsmeade looks pretty cool and it's nice to see some of the details like the train and some of the shop windows. I am really excited to see how those actually turn out in real life. To me, the feel of the commercial seemed to contradict what Universal and WB have been promoting in the past, but I guess since this commercial is for a larger audience (the non-HP-obsessed public) they had to promote in a more general way. I think that the tagline at the end made me wince a little inside, but hey, it is a theme park isn't it? I liked the idea of the trailer and from what few short seconds I saw, it seemed pretty cool. I wish that they would tell what is inside of Hogwarts, or at least give a hint. I'm starting to think that with all this hype, it might be a letdown. I am still excited and really want to go to the park one day, maybe next year. Until then, enjoy the commercial and pretend that you are flying into the theme park! Who wouldn't want that entrance?
