<div id="subtitle">With newspaper and webcam, Harry Potter fans can get glimpse of new Universal attraction</div><div><p>Universal Orlando is lifting the curtain a little more on its highly anticipated Harry Potter attraction with a promotion blending new media with old.</p><p>On Thursday, anyone with a webcam and a current copy of USA Today will be able to go online and experience an "augmented reality" map of the future "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" park.</p><p>The technology blends computer images and real-life environments to provide a tour of the 20-acre park from all angles. For example, holding the map closer to the webcam activates a close-up view of the magical town of Hogsmeade and the Hogwarts Express. Banners on the map flap in the breeze if the microphone is blown into.</p><p>Universal has been building anticipation for the scheduled spring opening of the park and its marquee ride, "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey," for months by slowly piecing out details.</p><p>Designers have worked closely with Potter author J.K. Rowling to make the site as authentic as possible.</p><img src="http://admatch-syndication.mochila.com/images/ad.gif?aid=67893087&bid=informcom" /></div><div id="copyright"><div>
