Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 3

[Clive]

Today is the last day to see the projectors in Knockturn Alley before they are covered again, possibly forever for guests.

Tuesday should have the most signs on display in Diagon Alley since the area's opening.

Huh?

The sky in Knockturn Alley is fake.

Have you noticed the shop signs have been rotated in and out over the past year? Some are missing?

Nope! I haven’t been to Diagon since 2019! Is there a twitter thread keeping track of all the changes?

I don't think the theme park bloggers even notice. There's a ton of content that goes under the radar.

Until they see a post about it then turn it into a click bait headline like "Universal Cancels Popular Wizarding World of Harry Potter Show!" then you click on it and find out it's a minor tweak made to something.

Anyone ever try the vegan butterbeer at potter nyc?

Wait, so why are they turning off the sky projections? It was a subtle effect but I loved it!

Genuinely impressed by Universal's vegan options over the past year or so. Excited af to try this and compare them.

Never heard of "BBQ bordelaise." Certainly not opposed to it tho!!!

Just got notice in my memories that I took a bunch of photos of Diagon Alley and the train stations under construction 11 years ago and posted them to FB:

I don't know why I completely forgot Springfield was being built at the same time...

The big wall of scaffolding was definitely something. I hope to see something similar happen soon on the other side of the lagoon!

The good old days at the Studios park. Hate to Fly had all the dope on that stuff back then. The big three...Diagon, Springfield, Transformers....all in one.

You can also see a (new?) scrim back there... I'm hoping this is just the lighting of the pic and it looks better in show conditions, because right now, this is a bit unseemly.

That image seems much brighter than actual conditions have been in the past, so I'm hoping it's just how the photo turned out.

It’s for a new patronus charm wand experience, allegedly.

While I appreciate plussing these kinds of things, I can't say I love the idea of putting a wand effect right in that particular spot.

That's one of the quiet, moody areas where I like to go to eat my strawberry and peanut butter ice cream from Florean Fortescue's and just enjoy the atmosphere.

There’s two more new ones in the other Knockturn section to the right of this photo too.
