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

[Teebin]

It looks like the astronomy tower's supposed light isn't a light because it isn't on!

I am expecting that might be a hold out for the grand opening... but I have no evidence of that.

Again... thank the secret person for the pictures. Say "thank you secret person!!!" You can thank me for banging them up to be viewable, they came to me nearly black.

 

[Felipe]

THANK YOU SECRET PERSON!!! VERY MUCH!!! :thumbs:

 

[Elle]

Thank you secret person of secrecy! If I didn't know better I would have thought those were screenshots from the movie

 

[Eckert]

Seeing that castle pictures definitely aroused my interest in Potterland once more. I really, really need to go see this now.

 

[mantaguy]

WOW! Such awesome news tonight! Thank you everyone who posted links and pics tonight so much!!! :happy:

The wand shop is sounding more and more like an experience that will have a separate line, or maybe even reservations? Something similar to waiting for a face painting. My only question..how is universal going to make money if there isn't a requirement to buy? I'm still unclear how this works...maybe the wand chooses you.. And then you are given some sort of voucher to trade for the particular wand? If this were the case, they should price all the wands at a similar price.

Is it bad that I want to buy an "I served time in Azkaban" T-shirt?

lol

Disappointing, but a minor theming detail in an amazing place full of amazing theming details. Maybe they'll improve it further down the line... Maybe the infamous Phase 2... Thanks for the pics, anyways! :rep:

So, I will be able to ask this tomorrow, after the secret person comes up for air. Does anyone know, are the singers really singing live and are they miked? Anyone know?
