Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Disneyhead]

Have we discussed that both trains are on the track?

 

[Frogki]

I thought we did earlier? Even if we did I'm always interested in hearing more about how this system works DH...

I know this seems a bit random, but when it comes to Easter eggs on the London water front, do you think we'll see a TARDIS? I know they had one for HHN in AN America Werewolf In London, but do you think that they will recycle this prop? Or do you think that it will be strictly HP stuff?

Based on the way the waterfront is designed, I don't think we'll see something that large. References maybe, but a majority of the buildings are HP buildings (aside from the theatre). So I'm not sure they'd want to break away from a general/HP related theme. But the majority of it depends on how JK feels, because her feelings about authenticity and how the land generally feels are some of the more deciding factors on things like Easter Eggs. So it really just depends in my opinion.

There is a Tardis in the concept art. And they sell Doctor Who stuff like his jacket and scarf in the T2 exit store. So I wouldn't be surprised if they moved it to a shop inside Kings Cross which is outside WWOHP Diagon Alley.

How do we already have a month Kong is supposed to open (from HTF), but for this it's still just next summer...?

Now this I'd like to see.

Anyone else see a Tardis?

Train #1

Train #2

Floating wheels!

Definitely part of the themeing. Check out the 2 windows below.

Definitely a mold for the frieze. And I don't think that finial is hiding it too well.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Nope, just a plain old phone booth there, probably leads to the Ministry of Magic

 

[Disneyhead]

A few more:

2 shots of the backside of the magic:

What the hell is this thing?

I don't believe that is a mold, but the actual backside of the pediment that was formally in place. The question is, what did they do bass-akward requiring them to take it down "temporarily".

Great pics btw DH!

 

[floridakid]

I think that's a lightning rod DH.

 

[USO92]

Well now that i know its themeing im ok buuuuuuuuttttt idk if i like it.

LOL! Yeah that's definitely just a photo booth. Would've been a great nod, but wouldn't fit the HP world.

I suspect that once Grimmauld is completely painted, and number 12 specifically is sooty and grungy looking (as it is in the film), the 'saggy plaster' themeing will look pretty good and not so out of place.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please make sure you send in another question this week. You easily had the best and most thought provoking question of the week.

I entered quite a few questions so I think you guys are good for a few weeks (if Briman didn't throw them away).

 

[Teebin]

Some of you will enjoy seeing the detail of 12 Grimmauld in a scene that breaks down the digital creation in the film.
