Anyone know if they plan to have a Diagon Alley in Hollywood too??
A look at the attractions that will make way for Harry Potter:

Source:After looking at the Gibson Amphitheater website we noticed that no events are listed past September 4th. No maze here, no shows at the Gibson, it is reasonable to assume that we could see Harry Potter construction begin in this location before the end of Horror Nights.

Both, Gibson Amphitheatre AND Curious George will make way for it:
Source:Universal Studios in Hollywood will raze the 41-year-old Gibson Amphitheatre to make way for its coming Harry Potter attraction, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Like the Wizarding World in Orlando, the Hollywood Harry Potter will be a theme park based on J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" books and the films made from them.
Also slated to fall under the advancing march of the boy wizard is Universal's Adventures of Curious George. The playland's current features include a 500-gallon water dump and flying foam balls.
