Considering how many plot holes and dangling threads there are in the actual Harry Potter books and movies, all these inconsistencies simply ADD to the immersion of the land.

All this isn’t even considering the land’s show and ride likely take place in two time periods separated by like 70 years.
Can you imagine what they could do with a fully realized Great Hall in terms of effects. First the ceiling would have to be a giant LCD screen. Not sure how they would do the floating candles. Peppers ghost maybe? Would definitely have the windows be LCD screens as well showing the grounds of Hogwarts. You could look out either side of the Great Hall and see a 3D view of the grounds.
Edit: they could also change the house flags (there must be some projection tech that could switch the flags from house to house) to be which ever house tables have the most people seated at them. Sort of a competition.
Great ideas. !!Yeah, they could give it the Space 220 restaurant treatment. There are a lot of options they could use. Instead of having an elevator taking you up to the restaurant, they could have a room you enter that has a giant fireplace and use the floo network to get you from Paris to Hogwarts. Maybe use the beauty and the beast meet n greet effect.
I actually ate at Biergarten last week and it seemed like communal tables are gone.I would expect every inch of the walls and ceiling to be projection mapped.
And about 4 long tables as opposed to individual table seating. Communal tables at The Biergarten in Epcot have worked for 42 years. Part of "The Experience".
My question is, how are they formatting it? As in, how will this play out as a dining experience? Is it continual seating like The Biergarten or set showtimes/seatings like a "Dinner Show"? I would think the former, but would love the latter.
I was coming here to say it has worked at the Biergarten and that restaurant is always packed with people. It also works with dinner shows like Medieval times where you sit in long rows. I really don't see this an issue for people who want the experience.I would expect every inch of the walls and ceiling to be projection mapped.

Might depend on your party size and how busy they are. Us a party of two were sat with a party of four a couple years ago at a six-top.I actually ate at Biergarten last week and it seemed like communal tables are gone.
I noticed that many of the six tops were now 4 and 2. We were very close to the other table but they were separated. Could be how busy they were like you said though.Might depend on your party size and how busy they are. Us a party of two were sat with a party of four a couple years ago at a six-top.
EDIT: Heck, Leaky Cauldron in Diagon has communal long tables NOW so it’s not like we don’t know they’d do it lol
