BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 This is the facade that faces out into the rest of the park. You enter the train ride through the station, and the actual entrance to Diagon Alley is "hidden" so that you kind of wander through and find it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 The area you first walk into... At The Leaky Cauldron restaurant you place your order and they bring your food to your table... [sorry for the blurry picture] This is the Ploughman's lunch... assorted meats, cheeses, salads and a scotch egg. Really yummy! They also had an amber ale that was very good - I think it was called Dragon's Brew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Knockturn Alley, appropriately dark and spooky... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Assorted photos. One thing cool about this area vs Hogsmeade is that there are a lot more shops and things to go into. While the merchandising for WWoHP is amazing, even if you're not in the market to buy anything, the stores themselves are still amazingly well themed and worth poking around...

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Awesome Mo! Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Even the bathrooms are themed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hogwarts Express. I couldn't get a picture of the effect of passing through the wall into platform 9-3/4, but it's pretty cool. It was difficult to get any photos inside the train with my phone but suffice to say you really feel like you're riding in one of the cars, and the effects along the journey are quite cool. Also, the view out your window is different going and coming, so I recommend riding it both ways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I know nothing about Harry Potter and that looks amazing. Disney needs to wake up and get a clue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The detail is super impressive. What's even more impressive is that they built this entire area, including 2 state-of-the-art rides, and a boatload of exclusive, brand new merchandise, in less time than it took to build the Mine Coaster.

CampMImi 22 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I started looking at your photos and had to stop! I have not seen it yet and am so stinking excited!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seals 111 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Great photos. I can't wait to see this area some day! have to say that going to the first HP area a few years ago actually made me want to read the books. My kids had read them many times but I never had, nor seen the movies. After I read them, I had to go back the next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
