History
The attraction launched within a month of the Australasian Premiere of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at Warner Bros. Movie World. In order to fully publicise their new attraction Movie World opened a Harry Potter Gift Shop on Main Street and had young staff members dressed as generic Hogwarts students walking around the park. These characters remained in Main Street until the closure of the exhibit in 2003.
The attraction was modified in mid 2002 to suit the second film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. A few scenes slightly changed to suit the second instalment including the addition of a replica of Mr. Weasley's Flying Car.
