Good guess! Official start of Spring is March 20th. Let's see how literal Universal takes it!

The announcement will be that they're adding a loop to Hippogriff.
Maybe the higher ups pitched the idea around, but I highly doubt that was ever seriously considered.

They started blowing fog/smoke behind Hogwarts, wonder why but it looked really cool!

Nope, they turned on and off the smoke a couple times. Also the park was closed too. But yeah, the lights are really amazing! It is so awesome to have Hogwarts just around 10-15 minutes from home.
Wait, I can't tell. Did you mean the literally or not? lol

They've already tested all the regular night mood lighting and projection lights for Hogwarts, this looks like testing for the opening, with the smoke and special lighting behind Hogwarts, etc.
Before anyone says "that means grand/soft opening is close!" or what have you, it's not out of the ordinary to test out the special "event" lighting package ahead of time, it's just programming they can save for later.
Also, they might be getting this lighting package ready for the announcement on December 8th, you never know, might be a live broadcasted announcement.

Yeah, that light show was quite spectacular. Whatever big production it's for is going to look wonderful. Sorry for poor quality photos.
I am very impressed to see Universal Hollywood get this type of treatment. Its time to shine USH...let''s do this right!
To quote the always articulate Ronald Weasley,
"Wicked."
I'd wager this is testing for the grand opening, or some other type of event/announcement. Florida and Japan's grand openings utilized similar lighting and smoke effects which aren't present on a regular basis.

I think the rose is off the bloom with this WWOHP the last movie was years ago and while it's great to have new stuff in the park I don't think this will have a huge turn out as they think people want new stuff fresh not thing based on a movies that was from 10 years ago while I see it having big crowds maybe in year one year two and three it's going to be seen and done it what's new and asking people to pay $299.00 for a pass that gives you any chance of coming more than once a year is crazy Universal Hollywood is putting a lot of stock in WWOHP far after the last movie was I just hope it doesn't backfire on them
