There's an article over at Jim Hill Media that has some photos of construction. Right now its just construction walls and a big mess of dirt. They've only cleared away vegetation, haven't yet done any of the excavation or foundation work. Plans are the structure will be topped out in a year and then a lot of detailing happens (follow the Paris construction photos of Tower of Terror for an idea of how such things are built).

Well, the castle isn't looking like anything because they haven't started building it yet.

I'm a BIG Harry Potter fan and I'm SO excited about this. I've been waiting for a Harry Potter theme park to pop up somewhere and now it's coming to MY TOWN.

I work for Universal, so we got pictures of the designs in our newsletter. I think it's against VF rules to post them, but I can tell you it's going to be amazing! Full scale replicas of Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and rides and shows featuring the characters. It's scheduled to open summer 2009.
