Holy Hippogriff

as you know (re: Hogsmead, FL) harry potter land is opening in florida. i am very excited. more excited now that they released the first picture of hogwarts via VP of creative development's twitter:
it looks like a million feet big!! just like in real life - er... the book! but it's apparently "only" 15 stories high. looking effing amazing. or wondrous, as they would say in HP.

Last week there was an article in USA Today (which has a killer opening line: "Universal Orlando Resort honchos are keeping a veritable Invisibility Cloak over the landscape of the highly anticipated Wizarding World of Harry Potter.") which had this awesome augmented reality 3D feature thing. AR is when they have this coded thing and you hold it up to your computer's video cam and a whole other awesome image comes up. That may not have made sense, but the tutorial video here probably will:
