I had heard there was rumor of an area where guest wands would trigger effects, could that be what you are referring to? That seems like it would be very important to both WB and UC but I am not sure how it relates to your clues. Edit: for some reason I thought I heard the guest triggered effect area would be in Knockturn Alley but maybe I am mistaken on that.

The rumor is for interactivity all throughout Diagon Alley and maybe even all of Hogsmeade, as well :look: :shrug:

I hate all these guessing and riddle games. I want to come, get information, and go about on my busy day.

Then maybe forums aren't for you. It's a discussion board. Not an information board.

Thanks for the great pics Bri!

Have those decorative swags been antiqued with black to resemble the grime of the city? Sure looks like it.

Too, what building is the golden cupola mounted on? It looks so out of place for Hogsmeade.

I believe the correct term would be "finial" instead of cupola.

So, I was reading back through replies to my pictorial clue. Some I just skimmed over at the time and for that I apologize. Someone nailed what the show will be about. I missed it but yep, on review, they nailed it. Congrats to the person who nailed it! So much fun!

I'm envisioning something likes this, on a smaller scale, but with more impressive, steampunkish technology, and wizarding clothes and wares instead of milk and roses:

Colour me very intrigued about this show. In a way, I'm most curious about Carkitt Market since it is an entirely new area of the Wizarding World we have never seen represented in the books or films.

Since when is knowledge of architectural terminology a determination of anything?

You're in the wrong place for that kind of talk, buddy. I know you're just trying to be humorous, but come on. It says you've been around since 2010, so you've got to know by now that there are lots of people around here passionate about architecture and the process of construction.

And do we really have to be ignorant teenagers and call people gay? So close-minded. We do have gay users. Oh and female users. Are they supposed to be the experts on architecture? Don't really get where you are going with that one.

I guess you might be right. Apparently this forum isn't for other members as well because I'm not the only one that feels this way. I know its a discussion board but we should be discussing facts and opinions, not solving riddles. Do that on a separate thread. If anyone agrees with me speak up.

If the riddles aren't your thing, you do have the option to put the user on the ignore list. And yes, I know of the other 2 people who PM'd you. We can spare the discussion forums from getting off track with it.

I agree. Unless there's a good reason, just speak plainly and tell what you claim to know. Others may enjoy games, but I see it differently.

On a side-note, OI posted today that Diagon still appears behind schedule. He estimates an opening between mid June and late July.
