I honestly wouldn't mind an original Wizarding World land that explores some of the other schools around the world...Perhaps it's too exclusive, but who knows, could be cool
but theres not so much Potter demand that they can just build anything peripherally related.
I do not agree here at all. The Potter fandom is weird. I think they'd be *more* excited for something built outside the movies.
Diminishing returns. There'd be more demand for shrieking shack, MOM, Burrow, etc. areas. There has to be mass appeal other than just hardcore Potterheads to build a $100+ million dollar area/ride.
I mean, Disney is currently building the exact opposite of that for their biggest franchise.
And a Tatooine land would have been a bigger draw and left them with a lot more natural options to expand.
Pottermore exists to extend canon. And while diminishing returns exist, expanding something that is known to exist in the world (ie - skrewts, Celeste, Beauxbatons) will have a very different appeal than something that’s just wholly original.Diminishing returns.

There would have been 0 difference in attendance. No one is skipping it because it isn’t Tatooine.And a Tatooine land would have been a bigger draw and left them with a lot more natural options to expand.

Actually there's hardcore Star Wars fans upset about what they've done and probably will skip it.
Do Paris with Beauxbatons. You touch on the original series, Fantastic Beasts, and get an “original” experience.
I feel diminishing returns would be more applicable if Universal hadn't built Diagon and just updated Hogsmede here and thereDiminishing returns.

The students of Beauxbatons are represented. The school itself has never been seen.There is..a complication to that thought, albeit a minor one: The Beauxbatons already represented though in the parks, with the Triwizard Spirit Rally.
As are the Durmstrangs.
Before I thought it would be some kind of mountain the resembled Olympus with different statues and carvings of creatures/people throughout the park.....Every since VB, I don't feel they will go that route...What does everyone think the park’s central icon for the ‘hub’ should be?
Personally, I’m thinking some sort of Colossus of Rhodes-esque statue would be nice. There’s not a park in Orlando, or even the rest of the country with a statue as its main icon. For the theme, to go along with the “Worlds” aspect of the park, I think a giant Atlas statue would really convey the park’s sense of scale and discovery. But at the same time, I could see how it would contrast too much with the actual attractions of the park.
