There's also scaffolding in that picture which is exciting!

Why are those two angle rods bright red? Are they temporary? Bob?

Interesting to what the K.C part will actually be named seeing as Kings Cross and St.Pancras International are officially two separate stations and HP is said to be set in Kings Cross yet was mostly filmed outside of St.Pancras as it looks better.

It's the real, ugly Kings Cross. No doubt about it.

Unfortunately! This would have look 1000 times better

While St Pancras is very nice, it would have been really hard to have it represented as a small facade. I think they made the right choice, looking back on it.

Honestly, I've made peace with the idea. It'll be canon, finally.

 

[BBPH]

Im sure it'l look great in the end but I walk past Kings Cross every morning on the way too work and can't help but come up with ways to improve it

 

[DeputyAuror]

Holy cow that was a beautiful photo update. Cannot wait until the semester's over and I get to vist the parks in a month to see all this progress in person!

 

[TylerDurden]

looking at all the steel going up I can't believe how great this is going to turn out. I remember some fan-made concept art floating around on this thread before construction got serious and thinking that it would be too good to be true. But now that I see what's going up, I can't imagine this new area looking sub-par! After Transformers I was skeptical but this really seems to be Universal going above and beyond, and I can't wait to see this--it should be really beautiful. Thank you Universal for not cheaping out! :thumbs: even though HP will make a ton of money either way, they're going all out and I love it.

Is this what you're talking about . . .

So I made a rendering thing or something, but never got to post it until now. Hope it's liked I guess...? :smiley:

Everytime I see this picture I :died:

 

[TylerDurden]

Is this what you're talking about . . .

yes! that picture!

I thought for sure it would end up being nowhere near that good--but from what's been done so far, it looks like we may very well be getting just that, if not something even better.

 

[ChrisFL]

It would be nice if that person was able to an updated rendering for us

The outline of the top of the Gringotts Bank entrance is now as distinct as you can get

Woohoo!! Thanks for the picture!

I really want to see what going on down towards the station, looks like the roof will be even bigger than the one we can see!

Very true, but I'm still working on it, though! I'm nearing the coloring stage.
