I'm crying right now. I'm just so happy for all those people.

so you didn't died?

well good


About Olivanders. . . . I didn't like the actor. I don't know why. I just didn't. :/

I don't think the shop keepers should try to act so mysterious, considering the 20-something other guests in the shop greatly diminish that mood.

idk. I'll shut my mouth now.

Really?

 

[violarum]

No, this time I held myself together, haha. And yes, I am crying. I just used three tissues.

 

[The_Bled]

I can understand Viola. Its just that epic.

 

[violarum]

It's too immense. And I only watched the walk-through video since I won't be getting in tomorrow, haha.
I think...
Wait.
This feels... not good.
I think...
I think...
I JUST DIED.

I feared that someone would have to be with Viola when she saw these posts today.

Ok, I've noticed something with the "student made" banners in DC. There are no Diggory ones. Or am I just not seeing them? I see the Hufflepuff one on the big ones but none in the "Go On Fleur" or "Potter to Win!" ones.

 

[violarum]

He*


And haha, so true. xD

SPOILERS AHEAD ... KINDA
Saw this and at first didn't realized what it was. Now that I realize it I not only am psyched for the ride but also amazed at what this tells us.

Looks to me like the seat is supposed to face the camera and isn't because it is just cycling. Also I make out what appear to be dementors on the left and obviously a dragon on the right. What do you guys think?

So my contact isnide Hogwart's wasn't pulling my chain that the dragon is trying to get you through some windows. Looks like the grand hall windows.

I'm also guessing what they said about the multiple endings ala Horizons also wasn't pulling my chain based on the tweets.

I loved the Ollivander's video of Inside the Magic! Especially the music made it feel so magical and such a cool moment I thought the actor was great too

Ok, I need to finish up some stuff and I'm heading out. I'll be back tomorrow night with my report! And I'll make sure to save the receipts

Good catch. It went even FURTHER... many of the props in the windows have been altered SINCE arriving from various contractors. Word has it that Gilmore spied each detail and if it didn't fit his vision, it was either swapped out or modified, sometimes extremely so. I only know this now as these were the first vast collection of window displays that we have seen. My crystal ball tells me that not a few of the prop contractors are shocked or bumbed that there work was modified long after leaving their shops.

 

[tribbleorlfl]

Is it me or are there no banners for Cedric in the DC queue? I only see HP, Fleur and Krum. This is further reinforced by the fact there are only 3 golden eggs in the case....

 

[honeybee8200]

I mentioned the same thing earlier tribble.

I mentioned the same thing earlier tribble.

My bad, I missed it in the rapid growth of this thread.

I'm guessing they removed him from the ride's storyline to avoid questions of his fate...
