Evidence supports that it is, in fact, located just outside of Orlando, FL.

Unfortunately it was mostly demolished by the explosives used to dig it up

Apparently Rowling thought of Hogwarts before moving to Edinburgh - but it seems a bit of a coincidence that Heriots school is right next to the graveyard with Tom Riddle's grave:

Mind you - I'm not really that big a Harry Potter fan but I did live in that part of Edinburgh for many years and my son went to Heriots after adventures at other schools...

"We know that they generally had good diplomatic relationships and there was a great deal of cross-border trade, but the historical record is still unclear about the exact relationship between the United States of America and the Magic Kingdom."

The way things are going, history may see you as the Nostradamus of this century.

Over drinks one night, Cardozo shared with Brosnan a short, somewhat cheeky passage in DeMille's 1959 autobiography in which the director cryptically confirmed the burial. The book's section reads: "If, 1,000 years from now, archaeologists happen to dig beneath the sands of Guadalupe, I hope they will not rush into print with the amazing news that Egyptian civilisation... extended all the way to the Pacific Coast of North America… The sphinxes they will find were buried there when we had finished with them."
