I got goosebumps watching this. Can't wait.
That is so funny. There was a Facebook link to that video yesterday and I was watching it with my husband last night and showed him the goosebumps on my arms. He was laughing at me!

I haven't been able to get on here much lately and I've basically given up on trying to follow every page of this thread but I'll still post pics when I have them...

Might be a really bone-head question but here goes.

What is the significance of the big "white" building right next to the castles? Will it be hosting the new Harry Potter ride? If so, then wow! <That's a big building for it.

I don't think its part of the Jurassic Park ride but I could be mistaken.

Yes, it is THE building for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and it is HUGE!!!

That's the show building which houses the actual ride and you're right...it's HUGE! :thumbsup2

Hi guys! Do you remember when we were worried for hiding all those kitchen artifacts of the 3 broomsticks? Look ....

And do you remember when we were concerned that the building was visible through the arch of the castle? Look ...

They have painted the building to look like part of the castle.

I definitely think they will somehow hide the remains of the building behind FOTH. There is time left to do it yet. In only 2 weeks they almost finished everything. Do you remember how quickly ended Hogsmade? There is still a month only to hide the building. Maybe some plants, maybe some fencing, combined with paint ... I think they really will do something, I just think we should be more patient and not expect that everything is 100% finished by now, because if so ... It should be open!
 
Can't wait for the big announcement :banana:, we're leaving for our trip to the Galapagos that day but hopefully, we'll catch it at the airport on the laptop :lmao:

So guy my GF and I were in the park today and she got some pics of the castle with the lights on. She was trying to post them herself but it is not allowing her account here to do so. All credit goes to Nancy (HHN_dollfie here).

Before the pics would like to add that there was once again another event and there was the "Hogwarts Choir" performing as well as something about the Tri- Wizard tournament....I had heard the tri-wizard speech before but never the choir.

On a side note realized in images we took the other day not only do we have a pic from Honeydukes but next door to it is Zonko's wasn't sure if you guys caught that. (I am not as big of a fan as Nancy is)

There is going to be a Frog Choir (as someone mentioned upthread)

At the recent bigwig party, it looks like they were demonstrating this. If you look carefully where I have circled, you can see the wire that goes from the large rock to the back of the demostrators (and presumably into the frog animatronics they are holding on the cushion)

They had another big wig party last night, this time it looked like a retirement part for Tom Williams...though didnt know he was retiring. Anyway, all the train effects were working, and they had the castle lit up all nice and purdy.
Some detailed pics here.
Heard that the Frog choir was in full effect last night, but couldnt hear or get any of it on film. It's just getting cooler and cooler with all the stuff that keeps popping up.
