The possibilities are endless and the more you offer the more they pay. How about after check in on your first night all "new" arrivals board a private car in the Hogwarts Express on your way to Hogsmeade. Upon arrival your escorted to the great hall for a feast.

Kind of got carried away there!

Is that a hint that the Great Hall is coming, or are you just blue-skying?

I made almost the exact same thing the other night using Hate's picture but never uploaded it. I guess I'll share mine too, better late then never.

Aw snap, sh** just got real!!!

Well done Gambit and Sabi!

That looks pretty awesome and pretty similar to how I think it will turn out at the end. I also think it is good because it stands out but would blend well from the San Francisco section.

Where did you get a picture of the Grimmauld set from that angle? Nicely done!.

(as we sit here dumb as clams wondering what is going between the theater and station)

This is just a guess, but I believe that there may be at least 2 different facades with the one closest to the theater, the one with entrance to WWOHP 2.0 being part of this:

edit 2: I used a pic of the wrong underground station.

Ahhh.. interesting that the actual Grimmauld was a huge set built outside; just one or two steps up. Not sure what parts of Claremont Square were actually used but the well known distant shot at night is a set. There is nothing on Claremont Sq that resembles the film version. There is a cool video on youtube discussing and showing the set being built.

Very nice, Gambit! :thumbs:

DH, wouldn't that be too short, though? or do you guess they would extend it up, or add some other form of building above the red?

I was hoping we would get a more plain looking building that included something like this...

"Harry Potter and the Attack of the Romanesque Arches" :smiley: A nice architectural motif to pull the place together.

I almost sh** myself when I saw this. I haven't been following the thread to a T and thought for a second facades were up.

You're right, there does seem to be a "circular" motif all around this new area.

Total blue sky! And great job sabi and Gambit!!

 

[Teebin]

Ok... something new... what else is unknown? Gambit and Sabi did a great job pasting it up! Could they possibly use a 20' sliver of the remaining for the entrance to the Leaky, and leave the rest, to the left, for the department store that is St. Mungo's Hospital?

It sure is a key location in the books that isn't touched in the movies.

(I can say this stuff now that I am no longer a HP virgin. And I had proper guidance from a proper Potter teacher too.)

St. Mungo's would be so cool to see as a fan of the books. I would hope maybe it came up in initial creative discussion, but I doubt it'll be in the final product.

I thought we were entering through the Leaky Cauldron???
