While I was wondering around I noticed this massive edifice. Of course there was no way to miss it…. with the headless statue in front of it. I knew this had to have some meaning. The incredible creators and design team at Universal always leave no stone unturned in their creations.
The Latin phrase says “Perfectly Performed Magic 1790”
So I went digging for any possible information of the statue as I knew it had to have meaning.
Turns out it is the statue of Vincent Duc de Trefle Picques. He was a French wizard and nobleman that was alive during the time of the French Revolution.
When he was younger he had attended the Beauxbaton Acadamy of Magic.
He escaped the Reign of Terror in 1793-1794 by casting a concealment charm on his neck pretending that his head had been already cut off.
The Reign of Terror was during the time of the French Revolution and was a period of mass execution of the enemies of the French Revolution which took place between 1794 to 1794.
The Duc had been targeted by the revolutionaries.
There is a spell in the fountain here.
I then wondered around to what I would call the Knockturn of this Potter World. I had heard it called the Flamel Quarter.
The home of Nicolas Flamel is located in this area.. He was the creator of the Philosophers. There are a couple of spells to be cast here.
The Elizabethan Architecture was weathered and dark in contrast to the other beautiful areas of the Place Cachee.
The red sign for “The Coffin House” was interesting.
I did not go into the Le Goblet Noir. I figured I would save that to next visit as I wanted to make sure I was able to walk through and see what I could in the Battle of the Ministry ride area.
I loved all the Architecture in the this dark Wizarding area and felt I only barely touched on the contents. I look forward to coming back.
There were so many posters located throughout the Place Cachee.
I left the Flamel Quarter.
The last show for the Circus Arcanus was already over and I decided that it was another thing to look forward to on my next visit.
I had to look for a photo of the exterior of the circus entrance as I thought I had taken one and alas had not.
I had read up on the Circus. It was performed in 1927 and was attended by witches and wizards.
A riot broke out releasing many creatures and crew members including Nagini who was a Maledictus, Firedrakes and Creedance Barebone who was a Obscurial. I remember seeing the circus in the Fantastic Beast movie Crimes of Grindlewald.
I think it is so cool that the Circus appears to be in such small tent when in reality is it so much bigger inside. It’s Magic………
More to come…….
