Come with me on a Journey to a Far away place inhabited by Mythological Gods and Constellations. Through the Portals we go to an Epic Universe.

Tuesday, May 6th continued

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…….

I loved the photos of the buildings in the Nicolas Flamel area. They are amazing architecture of that period. The red coffin sign fits in very well. What an interesting area...

Thank you Ruth. It is a very interesting area. I look forward to having a look in there again when I go back hopefully in September.

You will like it. There are so many interesting things to look at.

I had to stop and get a photo of the MoonCalf in the window. I think the MoonCalf is cute and is one of three of the Fantastic Beasts I like.

They are sold in the shops at in Epic Universe.

The MoonCalf is a gentle nocturnal creature.

They are sold in the shops.

I also like the Demiguise. They have two unique abilities. They can predict the future and can become invisible. They can only be seen by well trained Witches and Wizards.

It is possible that their fur was used in the creation of the Invisibility Cloak.

My other favorite Fantastic Beast is the Bowtruckle. There is one picking a lock in a store window the Place Cache.

Bowtruckles live in and protect trees. They are tree guardians of Primarily trees that are used to create wands.

Newt Scamander carried a Bowtruckle around in his picket that was named Pickett.


Next up I was looking forward to seeing what I could see of the interior of the Battle of the Ministry ride queue. I did try as I had said before to get a VQ six times for the ride and was unsuccessful. So finding out I could see a little of the queue was nice.

The MetroFloo is a network of Fire places that are in the households of Witches and Wizards that is used to travel.

You need to use Floo Powder in order to travel in the MetroFloo.

Floo powder is a glitter looking magical powder that is thrown into the fireplace. When it it thrown in the fire places it turns bright emerald green allowing the person to step into the fire places and travel. You must say clearly where it is you want to go.

Floo poweder was created by Ignaita Wildsmith during the thirteenth century. She discovered the magical properties of the Floo plant and developed the powder. She was a Witch and a Wizarding inventor. She was also a student of The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was a RavenClaw.

The first time the MetroFloo was used with the Floo Powder was in the Harry Potter movie “The Chamber of Secrets”. Harry was in the home of the Weasley’s.

Molly Weasley was instructing an apprehensive Harry on how to use the Floo Network in their fire place. He was going to travel to Daigon Alley. When you use the powder you need to say clearly where you are going and Harry said Diagon Alley to quickly and ended up in Knockturn Alley.



The line was not long at all. It was nice to get out of the heat for a little while.
