Ngl, that floral wall paper looks like blood stains from a murder scene.

Link fixed for you.

Looks great, the guys have bemoaned that it's a 'waste' it's not a full snack option, but with limited space hard decisions are made.

I think they did a good job nailing the look of Madame Puddifoot's. It's supposed to be cloyingly sweet and feminine. I hope that for Valentine's season they go crazy with over-the-top decorations.

Here's how it's described in Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix:

While Cho Chang thought the place was nice and cute, Harry Potter was not fond of the appearance nor atmosphere, as it reminded him uncomfortably of Dolores Umbridge's office, and the sight of couples being so intimiate with each other made him feel even more uncomfortable.

On Valentine's Day, the tearoom was decorated with golden cherubs hovering over each of the tables, which occasionally threw pink confetti over the people sitting below them. This, however, was more of an irritation than romantic, as the confetti would occasionally land in the beverages.

Since Harry likens Madam Pudifoot's' decor to that of Doloros Umbridge's office, I think having dainty toile print that looks at certain angles like blood works quite well :) Something vaguely sinister should be lurking under the perfumed, flowery surface.

Lol, I thought it was a leaked HHN photo at first glance. Looks good though, I like the Easter cake, nice touch.

Kubersky announced on his twitter that interactive wands are for June, and also adds that Hosgmeade windows have been being secretly installed over the past few weeks.

The Hogsmeade windows aren't finished, but they've been in progress under our noses for a while ;-)

And also, it seems that in preparation for the interactivity to roll out, they're tinkering with the window effects:

Very impressed with the Puddifoot's facade. It looks to have depth and looks like it could realistically be an actual store (albeit, a tiny one).

I will be so happy if the mandrake becomes a wand effect instead of constantly screaming throughout the day.

I love that darling little fireplace! Wouldn't it be awesome if every now and again they had actors portraying Hogwarts students sitting at those tables and canoodling? Similar to the agents that used to sit at the desks in the MIB lobby.

It must be the little chicks in the partially hatched eggs that react to the wand movement... the bunny too...

Or is that temporary, for Easter? Hmmmm...

I'd say the top of that white cake to the right looks suspiciously blank... :look:

That sounds good... if not kinda blah... but perhaps this has a story to tell.
