No offense taken. I totally agree with you. I thought they wouldn't even let us into IOA until 9, and we were fully expecting to have to wait an hour to get in. I was very surprised that didn't happen.
Interesting, I never saw them check for anyone's keys when we entered the park nor at the line to get into Harry Potter.

Yes it's worth walking through the line. That's where you see the talking portraits, Dumbledore's office, the Sorting Hat, etc. Right before you get on the ride there is a "child swap" area. You could just wait there until the rest of your group gets off the ride.
We were there last week (thur and fri). We stayed off site and were at the park by 8:00 am. They let us right in and we headed right to the Harry Potter section and were in line to go into the Forbidden Journey. Looks like everyone was allowed in regardless of where they stayed.

Universal is offering a HP Vacation Package that is effective for travel between 5/28/10 and 12/31/10. Since the package includes things like early admission to the park and breakfast at The Three Broomsticks, I think it's safe to say that it will definitely be open by the 28th. Not sure about...
