  • Immersion, Authenticity and the Theme Park As Social Space: Experiencing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Abby Waysdorf and D
    Immersion, authenticity and the theme park as social space: Experiencing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Abby Waysdorf and Dr. Stijn Reijnders Abstract: This article examines the visitor experience of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWOHP) theme park at Universal Studios Orlando. The park is hugely popular and has been embraced by the series’ devoted but critical fanbase. Prior research on theme parks has generally focused on critiques of their form, leading to a limited understanding of their appeal. This article asks how fan-visitors interpret this simulated environment, and what leads them to embrace it. It does this with an ethnographic approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with 15 visitors combined with participant observation. We show how WWOHP is understood by its visitors as an adaptation of the series into physical space, via the medium of the theme park, and how the visitor’s experience is shaped through use of ironic imagination. In doing so, we present a new understanding of the immersive media experience of theme parks. Keywords: fandom, theme parks, Harry Potter, immersion, tourism Word Count (including abstract, references, and keywords): 7989 1 “That’s what WWoHP is about. Living it. Being transported to that world and living a day, or a night, there. And that will be completely and truly MAGICAL,” reads a Tumblr post by user ‘niallgirlalmighty’, as part of her description of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (henceforth WWOHP) in Universal Studios Orlando and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. This post joins many similar ones by fans of the Harry Potter series, who have been flooding to the parks since the first WWOHP opened in 2010.

    NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE RHIZOME OF CHILDREN’S LITERATURE AND CHILDREN’S CULTURE: A CASE STUDY IN TRANSMEDIA STORYTELLING By KaTosha O’Daniel Approved: Abbie E. Ventura Joseph M. Wilferth Assistant Professor of English Professor of English (Chair) (Committee Member) Matthew W. Guy Andrew D. McCarthy Associate Professor of English Assistant Professor of English (Committee Member) (Committee Member) J. Scott Elwell A. Jerald Ainsworth Dean of the College of Arts and Dean of the Graduate School Sciences NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE RHIZOME OF CHILDREN’S LITERATURE AND CHILDREN’S CULTURE: A CASE STUDY IN TRANSMEDIA STORYTELLING By KaTosha O’Daniel A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master’s of English The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, TN May 2013 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing idea of what constitutes a “text” in twenty-first century children’s literature and children’s culture. Beginning with John Newbery’s A Little Pretty Pocket-Book (1744), through the Golden Age of Children’s Literature—that of the 1860s to 1900—and as a result of the shift to a children’s culture in the 1950s onward, my project interrogates the historical rhizome of children’s literature and children’s culture. The historical rhizome, which serves as the framework for this thesis, indicates the emergence of a fourth branch in the rhizome in our current epistemic mutation to the digitized text. Using J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series as a case study, this thesis illuminates the ways Rowling’s texts can be used as a model to follow in the historical rhizome due to her twenty-first century awareness of audience and text.

    PAGE 1 Universal Orlando Resort™ A QUICK-START PLANNING GUIDE Thanks to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™—now two of them!— and more first-rate attractions, Universal Orlando has upped its game when it comes to the theme park experience. But with so many muggles, a visit to Universal Studios Florida™ and Universal’s Islands of Adventure™ isn’t toadally carefree. Even during slower times, there can be waits for the parks’ headlining attractions and dining. With more thrill rides than the Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal is more popular with older children, although there are attractions geared to the tadpoles. We’ve included them in this guide along with must-visit attractions, top restaurants and more planning tips so that you and your family have a great trip! You’ll find more printable guides and in-depth planning information at: undercovertourist.com/planning/ SUGGESTED UNIVERSAL ORLANDO TICKETS With Universal’s parks—plus its brand-new water theme park Volcano Bay and its entertainment area Universal Orlando CityWalk™—all an easy hop away from each other, there is no reason not to go for the Park-to-Park tickets. They allow you to hop back and forth between the parks and ride the Hogwarts Express™ between the Hogsmeade™ and King’s Cross Stations. You have the option to add on Volcano Bay. The base tickets are the most economical option, but they don’t give you as much flexibility and don’t allow you to ride the Hogwarts Express™. We highly recommend you stay on site at an official Universal Orlando hotel.
