Here's a question I have for anyone that might know, I have heard in the past that Universal has a contract with WB/JKR from back around the IoA days that they do not want to renegotiate due to how lopsided the deal would be against Universal, with each of their Florida parks including a large scale themed land with multiple million-dollar attractions. In order to do that, they must continue to expand the Potter offerings at the parks at a decent rate.
I suppose my question is, is it simply going to be Potter forever then? How much more could be done in the existing IoA Hogsmeade plot, and how large could Diagon get under this deal? We already had the attempt with the MoM replacing FFL a few years back, and the Knight Bus has at least been speculated for FnF. EU will cushion the additions a good bit with potential expansions already in place for the years after opening. It's all theme park timescales here too, so this could be decades until it gets to a breaking point of too much Potter, but the question is interesting to me in the same way that the Marvel Contract is.
So longterm, are we in for multiple expanding Potter lands forever?
