Before I read the article, I was already thinking they're going to want more rooms judging by all the people already looking forward to the Harry Potter Island.

I'm listening to a USF/IOA podcast right now, and they are discussing a HP themed hotel. The other USF hotels are 4 diamond. They mentioned that the HP hotel might be 3 diamond, less expensive, but would not qualify for FOTL access.
