Harry Potter Missing from Universal UK Theme Park Plans—But There May Be a Reason Why
One of the most puzzling omissions from Universal Studios’ newly announced UK theme park is arguably its most globally recognized franchise: Harry Potter. With a 476-acre resort now confirmed for Bedfordshire, just an hour north of London, and concept art revealing lands potentially tied to Jurassic Park, Shrek, and Back to The Future, fans were quick to notice what wasn’t there—and that’s Hogwarts.

OPINION: Disney’s Grand Mistake at the Grand Floridian—Upcoming Renovation Will Add a Bar and Remake Iconic Lobby Into Bland Floridian at Walt Disney World
This week, Disney Parks Blog released new concept art and design plans for a reimagined Grand Floridian Resort lobby. The changes are being sold as a “refurbishment,” a light refresh meant to breathe new life into the resort. But what’s really happening is far more insidious: Disney is dismantling one of its most elegant, timeless spaces and replacing it with something entirely ordinary that’s soaked in alcohol.
OPINION: What’s going on with Hasbro? It’s a Toy Company That Doesn’t Want to Make Toys
Per Hasbro’s CEO Chris Cocks, they have announced that as of 2025 they will be moving away from physical toys while focusing more on digital play (i.e. video games). Since that time we’ve paradoxically seen one of the largest toymakers in the world begin to license out their properties to other toymakers to produce.
I’m not the CEO of a multi-million dollar company, so it may not be my place to say, but as a toy collector I feel that this is a mis-step on the part of Hasbro and its CEO. At the same time, unfortunately I can understand why they feel forced to go this route, and it has to do with both the mistakes they have made as well as those of their partners.

Nintendo’s next-generation console, the Switch 2, is officially launching at a retail price of $449.99—just $50 shy of Sony’s PlayStation 5.
