"Harry¹ Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe led groups of excited kids dressed in Hogwarts uniforms as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park officially opened on Friday to long lines and snarled² traffic.

哈利·波特魔法世界主题公园于上周五正式开放，开放日当天公园门口排起长队，被堵得水泄不通。《哈利·波特》系列电影的主演丹尼尔·雷德克里夫则带领着一群兴高采烈、身穿霍格沃茨魔法学校校服的孩子们畅游乐园。

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.
