We've been posting a lot about the upcoming "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" theme park that's opening up at Universal Studios in Orlando, but there hasn't been a lot to show you so far. Until now...

Universal Studios has released the first in-depth look at "Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey," an attraction which leads you into the Hogwarts castle and through the school. What we see is a whole lot of state-of-the-art green screen technology being used as they port Harry and his schoolmates into an elaborate, huge spectacle of a ride. All three leads are shown (Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson), and they look like they're very much being put to work as Universal constructs what's sure to be a memorable experience.

Also in attendance were "Lost Boys" Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (the latter of whom served as the night's emcee) and the original Leatherface, Gunnar Hansen.
