The official announcement says "summer 2014". Nothing more, nothing less for now...

Official announcement (2012) said it will be same size or bit larger than WWoHP in IOA but I think it will be copy of IOA with no Dragon's Challenge because Dragon's Challenge is a renewal of Dueling Dragons and I think there is no space to build this large roller coaster...

I only see they are building Hogwart's Castle (Forbidden Journey), Hogsmeade and Hippogriff.

There are bit more space (maybe 4ha) left beside construction area, so maybe they will expand HP area after 2014.

There's no official announcement yet, but there is a rumor in USJ manias. We are guessing WWoHP will open end of July or in August before or during the summer vacation in japan.

They are building the Forbidden Journey ride and small roller coaster similar to the Hippogriff ride. Of course they are also building the village and Hogwarts castle so it will be almost same with HP in Orlando.

Harry Potter land construction

The yellow area will be Harry Potter area. The dark blue is unknown for now, but there's a rumor that Harry Potter land expansion in 2016 so maybe they are keeping this area for that.
The light blue area is parking lot.
