At the rate Universal Studios is building, one can never be too sure.Back to Potter discussion...
I don't think WWoHP will soft open anytime in 2015. Wikipedia can have errors because public can influence the information.

As amazing as the WWoHP is we must remind ourself the magic is not real. It will not soft open in 2015. There is still a ton of set dressing to be done in all the shops and Hogwarts. Not to mention lighting and special effects throughout the land. It's close but not THAT close.At the rate Universal Studios is building, one can never be too sure.
The announcement in December you could be right about, but probably not soft opening. We don't know yet thoughGreat poster, hope that actually gets turned to a full on print poster of its own!
That being said..why am I having some hope that the opening announcement is in December? It'd seem a good choice if they are planning on making it for March (which possibly seems to be that).
Grand opening in Spring 2016 is a dead giveaway for sure. Soft opening will be more than likely early 2016 than not, and obviously don't trust Wikipedia all the time, but I certainly feel like construction will be done by November or December.That poster is absolutely gorgeous, I think the most pleasing to the eye Wizarding World poster that Universal has released. I hope they sell a full size poster of that!
I find it funny that some of you still think it'll open end of 2015, when clear as gillywater, Universal has stated everywhere "Spring 2016" lol. Also, all season passes expiring in February of 2016 should be a giveaway as well. I think we'll see a soft opening in March and grand opening in April. Or if they REALLY keep at it, maybe soft opening AND grand opening in March.
The showbuilding for Mickey's house at Disneyland is actually quite sizable. You could fit a full (but small) dark ride in there. There's no way anything remotely close to that scale would have worked. In fact, i'm quite surprised they're able to squeeze Hagrid's hut in its current location as it is!I still think that's a horrible missed opportunity. Would've been an absolutely fantastic little walk through attraction similar to Minnie and Mickey's houses in ToonTown mixed with Honey I Shrunk The Kids playground in Florida. Have some interactive props (that could work with the interactive wands), animatronic garden with animated veggies and magical creatures, and of course oversized furniture which would've made for great photo opps! If they wanted to, they could've also made it a dessert snack hut, since Hagrid enjoyed dabbling in very sloppy cooking sometimes, like cookies and cake. Huge missed opportunity, but at least it's something they can at least add in the future if someone ever approves it.
It would've been especially great in Hollywood, where they could've counted it as another attraction.

Doesn't hurt to add more experiences, especially since our Park is lacking in attractions.I think that the wizarding world is fine how it is... Remember how they said our Hogwarts was going to look slightly different with different ornaments? Well look how that turned out LOL anyways, it was confirmed yesterday by an employee working the WWOHP store that we will definitely be getting the interactive wands along with the special spots inside the park.
