Harry Potter film star Daniel Radcliffe rides the Flight of the Hippogriff attraction at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida June 18, 2010 with some ofthe first guests to the new spectacularly themed area. Photo taken June 18, 2010.

Radcliffe, Rupert Grint who plays the boy wizard's best friend Ron Weasley, and other actors from the blockbuster（轰动，巨型炸弹） movie and book series, were on hand（在手边，在场） at Universal Orlando as fans lined up（整顿，对准） more than eight hours to be among the first visitors.

Before dawn, the backup of Potter fans began to block the main highway through Orlando near the entrances to Universal, prompting the theme park to open its parking garage at 5 am -- 30 minutes earlier than planned, according to local media.

Visitors said that by 8:30 am the line to get inside wrapped around the exterior4（外部，表面） of Universal's Islands of Adventure park, of which the Wizarding World is one of six unique sections. And the wait for the signature ride, the Forbidden Journey, reached at least 90 minutes, at one point.

"It was worth it, just because I'm a Harry Potter fanatic," said Kelsey Rigg, 18, a British transplant5 to Florida who at 3 am joined a crowd of several hundred people.

Universal executives6 did not immediately have information about crowd size.

The 20-acre Harry Potter park reportedly cost $250 million to build and recreates the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft7（巫术，魔法） and Wizardry and other places dreamed up by author J.K. Rowling in her fantasy novels about the boy wizard and his friends.

Attractions include the Dragon Challenge, a high-speed ride based on the Triwizard Tournament（三强争霸赛） , a fictional8 13th century contest between students of the three most prestigious9（有声望的） magical schools of Europe.
