    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 3

    I'm calling it now, Diagon Alley is a failure!!! They should burn it down and salt the earth! ... or, y'know, give it a chance. I think most Potter fans who need to travel to Florida didn't book vacations because we didn't know when it was going to open. We have jobs, families, commitments, we...

    Diagon Alley Photos & Reviews

    The Noble Collection (makers of many HP replicas such as the wands that are for sale in the WWOHP) used to make the spine candle but I believe its been discontinued. It goes for quite a bit on the secondary market. I was really hoping they would bring it back for Borgin and Burkes instead of all...

    Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts

    I too am Shrek shaped and I'm worried I won't fit on the ride. I fit on Forbidden Journey last year but I hear Gringotts is a different kind of fit. I'm 5'10" and weigh 260(mostly wide shoulders and big belly. normal sized legs). Is anyone else roughly that size that has been able to ride?

    Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts

    Sorry if this has been asked, but could someone tell me how much the Gringotts security ID photo badge costs and if they think its worth it. It looks cool in the videos and photos I've seen. Thanks.

    If not I'll be disappointed. I flipped out when I saw that part of the video. I may have to do a smash and grab if they're not for sale.

    What? The place that wizards go to do all their shopping is full of shops?!? :stunned:

    The Ollivanders segment was lame. Its really too bad that all they could come up with was dick jokes. I think some HP related humor would have been better.

    That seems really cheap. I wonder how many different designs they will have and what will stop groups from buying one wand and handing it off to their buddies behind them in line so they can have a go.

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    If they sell some type of replica of those markers I would totally buy them all and make a display for my wall. Maybe they'll do them as pins. I can't wait to do the whole interactive wand experience when we get there at the end of October. So much awesome!

    I may be remembering wrong but I thought Kreacher dragged around a chair or stool in the books for cleaning.

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

    Wait, are you saying Harry Potter has books? I thought it was just a movie! ...Just kidding. I didn't remember because I've only read that book once, the day it came out, and have never really wanted to reread it. and you're right, but I think because he was under the imperius curse and he...

    I don't think Stan Shunpike was an actual deatheater, but he was accused and jailed. Harry wanted him released and wouldn't work with the ministry because of it. I'll have to get the book out and read that part, but I think stan was boasting or trying to sound important or something.

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    I'm a die hard Potter fan and Dragon's Challenge doesn't bother me at all. I don't do coasters so I can't say how good of a ride it is but I would expect something like it to be in a theme park. If they were to replace it with rides I could do that would be great but I understand the reason for...

    If universal really wanted to make money they'd put a butterbeer cart in that queue ;)

    obviously Ministry officials will be on hand to modify the memories of any Muggle who sees that dragon from across the park ;)

    I'm guessing that Lost Continent will be replaced with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in a few years.

    Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts

    I'm right there with you, my friend. You know that "Don't ride if you have any of these conditions" list at forbidden journey? I have half of those. I went on it once and did okay but won't go on it again. Last year I went on Star Tours(which I'd done multiple times before) and hurt my back...
