Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

I can hardly understand sí. Had to google translate. I do not recall bathroom talk or leaked photos of that facade. Guess I lose!

That small #2 (no pun intended ) is bathrooms. I think it was theme park insider that had a picture of the inside in progress but it was still pretty colorful.

Edit:

Found it http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201312/3807/

But looking at this again, that might not be that area.

HTF?

No no no my dear... It was shown just moments after that picture was posted that that is the left hand side of diagon just past the train bridge.

I surmised, correctly I think, after looking at the aerial photos that the image is horizontally flipped and shows a section on the back side of Ollivanders.

I have a pretty good idea of how this facade will land...

Land....Eelops Owl Emporium

Ah yes, that is it... so not Diagon but not a bathroom either... chopper shots will prove that GGG had it right. I cannot believe you had the eye to flip that in your mind. Mercy.

Sharp eyes and mind! Thanks! :thumbs:

Thanks for flipping Felipe. Seeing that those are show rooms, what are they going to do with those windows? Curtains only? What a curious world this will be...

Did Teebin get his answer regarding the Grimmauld facade? I feel like a post or two is missing...

If you are referring to what the interior and rear exterior of Grimmauld will be, then no, I did not receive an answer.

I am not sure why the question is being ignored or what the coyness is all about...

UltimateOrlando also got a couple other nice close-up shots:

It has been brought to my attention that Diagon's Ollivanders is the horror show I have worried about. It seems that everyone will have to walk off the street not into a shop, but a long queued hallway... a hallway that is right behind the windows of the "leaked" facade we talked about a page back. So, you will basically be in a Holiday Inn hallway walking past doors to rooms that may be occupied... You might have to walk past two show doors before arriving at the third door showroom.

I was hoping for a mechanical shop swap or at least something more clever than this Simpsons: The Ride style "go to your assigned room".

I would recommend taking the train back to Hogsmeade for a more authentic experience.

So were you hoping for a Haunted Mansion type deal?

That or imperceptible shifting store interiors. Anything so that one could walk off the street and into the shop.

Hasn't HTF said multiple times that the guests will be completely unaware of there being multiple show rooms?

Yep... and I reserve judgement on that being the case now that I have seen an actual diagram. Right now all I see is a long hallway which has nothing to do with the books or movies.

Someone get HTF in here to clear all of this up.

I have faith in JK/WB/Uni that they wouldn't do something that would "ruin the magic" like that. I hope/believe that they'd do it right where you can't tell there are multiple rooms unless you know there are multiple rooms.

Ditto. That's how I feel. The doors to the show rooms might not even look like doors; they might be disguised as more wand shelves. Even if they are shown as just doors, I think it could still look authentic. Either way, this layout should help make things more efficient in addition to keeping the areas authentically intimate.
