Thanks for the update Briman :thumbs:

Fantastic photos Briman, thanks.

There's a whole lot more left to do on those facades than I'd realised.

If the train is seen from anywhere its not supposed too, I feel it'll be worse than seeing the F.J show building. It will kill the magic.

Really? The FJ showbuilding is much worse than seeing a train do what it's supposed to do, travel.

Excellent photos Briman. As ever, I appreciate the closeups, especially a worker working in multiple photos. For the first time, I am struck at how much more they have to do in just 3 months. Why is it taking them so long to finish off Wyndham? If I see pink for another week I'm gonna pistachio.

Is the warm butterbeer going to be only seasonal or will it be offered year round starting this summer?

So I just came across this tweet from @UniversalORL saying this:
"The creative teams said the Ministry of Magic is a set they'd like to bring to life! [HASHTAG]#HPCelebration[/HASHTAG]"
This gets me super excited knowing it could possibly happen, but when and where? I'd be okay with just a walking tour, that'd be awesome!

They have some Diagon props on display today on stage including the Vanashing Cabinet for Borgin & Burkes, a sign for Weasley Rockets and a giant set of Troll Armor going into "the Armory in Diagon Alley."

According to Alan Gilmore, the art Director from the moveies "When you visit Diagon Alley later this Summer, you will see many of the tiny details throughout."

Later this summer seems to be the key here.

I think you're reading into it wrong. More as in "Later, this summer".

Alan Gilmore's panel this morning sounded amazing. Of note, the team wants to tackle the Ministry of Magic next. Also, Diagon Alley is built to full scale/real life size.

From this, I gather that many of us here are correct that the majority of elements in the London facades are also full scale.

For those still curious, those stairs next to Gringotts immediately stop at the top to about a 20ft drop, so those stairs will indeed need to be roped off or managed so tourists don't get too curious.

Is that a casual hint at a potential phase 3?

 

[BamaToTheBone]

Probably more of an addition to phase 2

Great pics HTF and Briman!

Awesome photo update!

 

[Orlandolover]

Awesome photos! Thank you both HTf and Briman.

One quick question though... Has it been confirmed if any shops in Diagon Alley have guest accessible double or triple stories. Does anyone have any information on this?
