Though a representation of the Shrieking Shack would be pretty incredible, it wouldn't make any sense for it to be sitting right next to Hogwarts.

The Whomping Willow, on the other hand, may just work. In fact, I'd never even thought about that. Recreating something like that would be pretty ambitious, however, and would have to be done correctly in order to achieve the right effect.

.....oh...my god.

I feel like I remember when they were still in the early stages of building the original Wizarding World that I read from insiders that they were considering making a new family spinner themed to the Whomping Willow, and have guests ride on its crazy branches like we do on Dumbo/silly swirly.

That'd be so awesome!!!!!

Hmm, can't reveal my source, but what I have heard recently would be to lower my expectations a bit.  Sad to hear that when these ideas have been so grand.

Lower our expectations in terms of anything significantly "unique" or "extra" coming to our Wizarding World?

No, just lower the expectations of the space between Hogsmead and FJ.

A grab-n-go? A meet-n-greet?

The only thing I can think of is a tight pathway like IOA or just trees on either side of the walkway with ultra extended queue for FJ within the aforementioned purple zone.

You know what would be super smart (and cheap) to put in that extra space?

A whole new area that is just lockers. Orlando has a HUGE problem with its locker system, which they agreed they didn't think through. I hope we have an improved system.

Or trees. More trees are nice. Haha

That's brilliant, actually. Anyone who has personally experienced the FJ locker situation knows it's the equivalent to getting groped by +5 people from all sides. Not fun.

I'm all for a themed locker area separate from the FJ show building.

I've heard in the past that guests may be able to dine in Hogwarts' Great Hall.  Though a whomping willow does seem like a better idea to me.

...based on the show building, Great Hall is not coming. Our only changes will most likely be in the purple area mentioned before.

Ah, you might be right.  Maybe a new Whomping Willow attraction or a Centaur Forrest?  As long as Hollywood lives up to Universal's idea of "each Wizarding World having their own uniqueness."

This is just a wild idea. Do you guys think it is possible that the Great Hall could be what is going in the House of Horrors building?

I honestly doubt it.  Guests would probably be confused why the Great Hall isn't actually inside of Hogwarts haha!  I bet maybe the House of Horrors building will become some sort of New York themed shopping area since the Blues Brothers is right next door and there's New York theming across the path.
