Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

[the last chronicler]

Here's another important thought: washrooms. Where will they be and what will they be designed after?

Faux back drop between Gringotts and Weasleys...

 

[l-m-f-a-o]

That seems insane is there a show to enter DA?
Is there a line for that?

Honestly I tried reading all this & my mind is just confused! & imagine all the picture takers! OMG a lot of photo bombing is going to be going on! Lol
Oh my mind is so curious to see this! Can't wait.

Faux back drop between Gringotts and Weasleys...

There's a good question! I can't recall any discussions on the placement of Weasleys!
All of these could be wrong, but just to start:

A B C or D possibly? :shrug:

EDIT: Wait. If the back drop is BETWEEN Gringotts... hmmmmm...

 

[Felipe]

If I am not mistaken, D should be WWW, Ollivanders being AB, and C is still part of Gringotts.

Unless WWW is the building right below where you wrote "Weasley's?"

A and B are the same thing which is building 65 or the massive new Ollivanders. C is the Gringotts exit shop, not sure of a name. See that real narrow passage where the Gringotts bank facade would be :thumbs:

So which one is Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes? From the shape of the exterior of the store, I figured it'd be D (65A):

But then, what is the building to the left of Gringotts?

 

[TheLastAshen]

I think he's Saying WWW would be right to the left of the Gringots entrance... kinda where it sits in the movies...

 

[the last chronicler]

D is where WWW is in the movies. You can see it in the background looking down the street in movie 6 when the Death Eaters smash Olivanders, which is on the left side. That makes WWW and GB on opposite ends.

The building to the left of Gringotts could be related to B&B?

 

[Hatetofly]

Borgin and Bourkes as I've mentioned is 64f :thumbs:

 

[TheLastAshen]

Damn, I was wrong and now more confused

 

[Hatetofly]

Don't look at the Diagon alley maps! You will really be confused :thumbs:

But is WWW D (65a)or what?

It seems we've all become confused!

 

[usfgeek]

Doesn't look like Diagon Alley main street is going to be that much wider than the current walkway between the waterfront and the construction fences.

Hope this helps

 

[the last chronicler]

Really? 65A would make more sense spatially for WWW. Wouldn't the overflow between WWW GB and B&B make a mess of that area?

 

[Teebin]

Have we yet found out why the assumed Grimmauld is a facade and not a building?

Too, have we found out whether or not there will be a VIP private restaurant, lounge or club built somewhere into this project?

We have not, but I've been thinking about it since you started asking about it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

much appreciated

It is kind of funny that when I first saw the plans months ago, I thought that it was just a stroller area! It reminded me of the wall surrounding DC stroller area. Silly me.
