Is this the set of a Harry Potter movie?

Universal Studios Orlando: Harry Potter theme park - Portrait Gallery

Potter fans would immediately recognise this as the portrait gallery that features several times in the movies. As a huge Harry Potter fan myself, I just have to talk about the new Harry Potter theme park at the Universal Orlando Resort. Muggles rejoice!

Set designers from the Potter movies were brought in to design The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, so most of it would look authentic. For example, the portraits lining the walls of Hogwarts castle actually move and talk to guests, just like in the movies!
