does disney own the rights to harry potter
Harry Potter in amusement parks A Harry Potter themed attraction at a Universal Studios park or a Disney park was rumored in 2003.[3][4] However, the rights to the Harry Potter franchise had been acquired by Warner Bros., who denied all rumors.[5] In January 2007, About.com reported a rumor from a "highly credible source" that the Islands of Adventure park's Lost Continent area was going to be re-themed "to the stories and characters of one of the most popular children's franchises".[6] Other sources followed up in the next few days with unofficial confirmation that the new area would involve Harry Potter.[7][8] On May 31, 2007, Universal, in partnership with Warner Bros., officially announced The Wizarding World of Harry Potter would be added to Islands of Adventure.[9][10][11][12]
