Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

When we were at the Harry Potter exhibit at the WB Studio Tour London 6 weeks ago, we noticed the expensive prices on these costume replicas as well. We also noticed how cheap/cheesy they were and determined they weren't worth the money. We all passed and spent our money on other goodies in the store.

The only way I would pay that kind of money for a dress would be if it came with Emma Watson in it. But I'm a guy, so I wouldn't be buying for the dress.

 

[BamaToTheBone]

I'd pay more readily if it came with Emma Watson outside of the dress.

I'll second that...She filmed Perks of a Wallflower here in Pittsburgh. People that met her said she was friendly & unassuming.

When I retire, I'm going to grow my hair and beard really long and wear that Dumbledore robe to the mall.

She appears to be quite attractive in The Bling Ring as well. The Brits don't seem to go off the deep end with celebrity as much as we Americans do, so the friendly and unassuming assessment is unsurprising.

The first time I read what you wrote I thought it said "when you get old"

and I thought "Tommorrow ?"

 

[Disneyhead]

Haha, I offset my advancing age with impressive immaturity.

I WAS IN THAT MOVIE! I MET HER AND SHE TALKED TO ME!

She gave me a bruise doing the cafeteria fight scene.

Rephrase...friendly, unassuming but with a powerful right cross.

YESS haha!

I have been known to randomnly walk about the city wearing my Gryffindor costume. Most people smile or shout out Potterisms at me (but some people think that I'm just a high school student wearing a uniform).

During finals at my school I always cosplay as Luna. My friends know and quote things at me as well, and on certain days will join in and dress up. One of our Potterhead teachers called us by character names for an entire period once when we did that.

I have sadly not been on Forbidden journey yet and not watched any videos of the ride, so i never knew lol. That looks awesome!! :thumbs:

So if Entech made this dragon for FJ they could easily make a dragon for Diagon alley or maybe for one inside Gringrotts!
