The official opening to the public will start from Thursday, bringing to life the quaint town of Hogsmeade from author J.K. Rowling's seven-part "Harry Potter" books and subsequent films. From the cobblestone alleyways to the snow-capped roofs, fans of "Harry Potter" will be able to immerse themselves into a new "Wizarding World" attraction at the theme park.

This is the third Harry Potter-themed park around the world. The other two located in Orlando, the United States and Osaka, Japan.

Analysts say this new theme-park will bring more visitors to the west coast of the United States. Tickets for Thursday's opening have been sold out.
