Diagon Alley Photos & Reviews

[Brervixen]

I really cannot control myself. I watch everything. spoiled everything.... :rant:

Believe me, this is the MOST self restraint I've ever had!

Since I was stuck on Gringotts for a bit I didn't spend a whole lot of time exploring Diagon today, but when I entered the land my jaw dropped at how amazing it was. I plan on coming back in a week or two to actually go through the shops, try the drinks, etc. I took the Hogwarts Express from USF, and all I can say is wow! Universal knocked it out of the park with this one.

For those that have been through the shops, can you please tell me if the Skele-Gro bottles are available to purchase? There are a lot of them in this window display! Thank you

I know I would definitely buy one of those!

But many still wonder... where are the spine candlesticks from Order of the Phoenix, I believe that's the correct book/movie? Everyone wants those.

 

[Frogki]

Those candles actually made their first appearance in Prisoner of Azkabam, and I would love to own one myself!

I still hope to come here someday and see a picture of the spine candles on sale at Borgin and Burkes..

And why they have never created a set of Umbridge cat/kitten plates is beyond me... such a missed opportunity!

Not Borgin & Burkes, still spine candles non the less https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/DarknessVoid?section_id=14257867

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 the generic skulls and such they seem to have. I swear they sell the same stuff at Spencer Gifts in the Mall. Seems like the spine candles and the Skele-Gro bottles are a missed opportunity.

I'm hearing merchandise is being added still, and several things promised before still haven't shown up. Batting the bushes some to find out what's going on.

They had a similar problem with Phase I I believe. Or was that just the pygmy puffs? And where are the pygmy puffs now?

 

[Frogki]

Well I know before DA opened, they were being sold at the FJ gift shop, in the Filch store. And I believe I saw some in pictures of the Weasley's store.

 

[Aberforth Dumbledore]

Do they really sell star charts and such in Wiseacres?

 

[King_K.]

And where are the pygmy puffs now?

Alive and well inside Weasley's.

Alive and well inside Weasley's.

And the Menagerie.

 

[knokout1]

They have a desk bell inside Weasley's to announce when someone "adopts" their first Pygmy Puff.

They were supposed to have them but a couple of weeks ago and at the grand opening I saw zero. I'd count them as some of the soon-to-come merchandise.

I'm sorry, I'm sure this has already been covered, but I am having trouble searching via phone, only turning up results from the original WWOHP thread from 08.
Has anyone got photos of the interactive wands or more info?
Link possibly? Thank you!
