It's interesting to think how many things Universal does a little late:Comics peaked in modern popularity in the early 90's (though they lucked out with the popularity of comic book movies)Their Back...

As a follow-up to my original comment...I believe that the attention given to the perceived lateness of the opening date of the Harry Potter attraction, is extremely short-sighted. Those of us who...

I also agree with Debbie. Harry Potter has a wider appeal than any other character franchise out there and will stand the test of time. Universal has a real winner here, and the fact that the...

There are film classics and there are pretenders (i.e. HP is NOT E.T.). INDY will always work at DL because it is A-awesome and B-based on a real classic film series. Ditto for Potter if they produce...
