Potter's London Revealed

A quick but important Theme World update from Universal Studios.  Today the scaffolding came down on the London facade that hides "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley."

I mentioned just yesterday how fast Universal is moving with construction. This is more proof.

Here's What London looked like in May, as seen from Sky 6: Mostly structural steel.

Look how much work was done by Mid-September.

And today: the big reveal of the whole mammoth building.

There are still some details to be added, and there is plenty of work still being done behind London's City block, but already this is one impressive addition. The scale of it is hard to feel until you go see it in person.

Many muggles will next week. No doubt the park is prettying up Potter Part 2 in time for next week's Potter Party I told you about. I understand Monday we will learn more stars are coming than first thought.

So look for more Theme World Next Week!

Keep your emails, questions, tips and comments coming! I always appreciate the feedback.
