It’s been eight years in the making but the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (at Universal Orlando) is now officially open! This twenty-acre expansion to the Universal Theme park has been a tightly guarded secret for much time now with it’s NBC co-owner dolling out snippets of park details on exclusive segments of the Today Show and The Apprentice. Two weeks ago they devoted thirty minutes of their primetime lineup to a behind-the-scenes exclusive and managed to reveal little more than what you could see in a sixty second commercial spot. Still fans rallied to get a first glimpse at all the park had to offer and despite the minor chaos, first reviews report that it was worth the wait.

Eclipse Official Soundtrack
A few lucky Twilight fans had the opportunity to listen to the The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Soundtrack and there have been pretty good reviews. There are two versions available. The standard album has 15 tracks but the deluxe version has a whopping 19 songs. I have to admit, I was not a fan of the New Moon Soundtrack. I purchased a few individual tracks, but wasn’t impressed enough to buy the entire CD. Ah, the beauty of the digital music revolution. I do own the Twilight soundtrack and I absolutely love it. And I am psyched about what I am hearing for the Soundtrack for the latest movie.
Here is a sneak peak, the Muse, Love is Forever video.
If you liked that you can check out more samples online soon. The albums release date is June 8th. Check it out.
Eclipse Official Trailer
It’s that time again. Another film in the Twilight Saga is slated for release on June 30th. In case you haven’t seen it, here is the official trailer. This is my favorite book, but not sure how excited I am about the movie. Though I must say, I enjoyed New Moon more than Twilight (because the kid who plays Jacob is a stronger actor than Rob or Kristen). Anyway, that’s my two cents.
