^ Thanks for the links Felipe! The buzz photos of grimmauld are so telling... it has floors and defined steel-stud walls for the interior. The one thing that really keeps me wondering is the tiny window on the end of the building. What is hell is it there for?

And finally, where are the show/display plans and the prop design plans. Those are what will have everyone pissing their pants.

Finally, could someone give me the background on the Uni art director under Mr. Craig on this project. Who is he and what are his obvious creds?

Just another one of Teeb's fluffy happy satisfied posts.

My question regarding @AmusementLeaks is if it's actually UNIVERSAL who's leaking these plans, or is it someone else? They do offer a fascinating look into the design of Diagon as well as the design process of Universal Creative.

The staircase behind Grimmauld is new to me also. Is that for Weasleys Wizarding Wheeezes?

Nice to see them finally closing up Grimmauld, you can see that they're working on putting up steel for the rear portion of the roof.

Well they posted some Disney stuff, so I doubt that's the case.

You would be shocked to see how much folks from WDI have of Creative prints in their possession and vice versa…

Going to apologize for the video in terms of quality and my attempt to make people suffer from motion sickness. This was literally my first attempt at shooting a video with a brand new camera. I never hit record until this day. Anyways I hope some enjoy it.

Good stuff! I really don't understand why they are theming the buildings with sweatshirts though, not only that but a bright white sweatshirt just does not fit in with the time period or location :P

Yeah I kind of have better feeling for what the camera is capable of and what its not. Thanks and I'll do better on the next!

I think this also raises the question, does a wizarding train NEED a conductor? Other than the actor they pay to play one...

Loved the video. It was excellent to use with the pause button numerous times. So, a 6 minute video became a 25 minute video for me.

That video was great. I especially liked seeing the windows of Liecester Square Station.
Also, I can't help but smile every time I see the soot-blackened chimneys of Grimmauld Place. It looks so wonderfully authentic.

Oh, and HTF, should we assume you don't really know the purpose of the tiny window on the end of Grimmauld? I haven't seen you comment one way or the other.

It'd be cool to learn it has a purpose, but I would guess the window is just there for aesthetics / to break up that whole "plain" side of the building. :shrug:

An 18" square will hardly break up a 1100 sq foot wall (based on a calc of 25'x45').

Interactive wand effect is my guess.

Ok, bad choice or words... Adorn rather than break up, an otherwise plain wall on that side.

I'm so dubious of that rumor. The only way I could see a successful and enjoyable interactive wand experience would be in an enclosed / controlled area with only a certain number of guests allowed per a certain amount of time. Otherwise I think it would be a mess, because it would certainly be hugely popular and it wouldn't work with so many people going at it.
