For us wee Asian muggles who missed our letters from Hogwarts and despaired of ever setting foot in anything Harry Potter-related, the news of Universal Studios Japan building its own Wizarding World theme park came as an answer to a prayer. Finally! We can fulfill our Hogsmeade dreams of drinking butterbeer! Notwithstanding the obvious language barrier, WWHP in USJ is... in a very cliched term, several kinds of awesome. Several different kinds of awesome. It's like unicorns and rainbows and chocolate and winning the lottery all at the same time. (On second thought, maybe not so much winning the lottery... but it's close!) Here are some hopefully helpful tips for first-timers on their way to demand their much-sought-after letters from Japanese Dumbledore.

Dear Blizzard, Have you ever thought of building a World of Warcraft Theme Park? Hear me out. It's not totally ludicrous. In fact if you search Google , you'll find that the idea isn't even original. There were rumors that the Chinese had plans of making one , though I'm sure considering all the technicalities, it won't come to fruition. If it does though, I'd still rather you be the one to do it. I mean, it's CHINA. I'm sure it's going to be unlicensed and illegal and the rides will be poorly-improvised and poorly-executed. If you need ideas, there's this post I found, which has some pretty interesting stuff, if you ignore the sarcasm littered here and there. For example, I like that he suggested the prizes for carnival games be faction marks, but instead of the ones from the Burning Crusade, they be from either Alliance or Horde. Your mascots can be all the faction leaders. There'll be spots like in Disneyland where people can have picture...
