The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

So far, the only reservations for the 3 Broomsticks is for breakfast. We're not sure if reservations will be available for any other meals as there is a strong possibility that it is a counter-service restaurant for lunch and dinner. None of us know for sure whether the 3 Broomsticks will be a full-service restaurant or counter-service.

You missed pics of the courtyard and pics of the construction site from inside the castle. They were taken down after about an hour or so.

I know they were inside the castle, that's why I called them in-castle photos hehe. I mean whether they showed anything significant going on inside the castle e.g. rooms, sculptures, the ride, anything.

It was just the construction of the inside and the courtyard, but it was quite obvious that these won't be "showcase" areas for the general public. It looks like the Hogwarts building will be a shell housing the ride. Also, everything was built on (forgive me for not knowing technical terms) "stilts" that looked like heavy duty car jacks. I don't know if they will stay that way or be covered with materials and/or landscaping. It was really neat to see, but I agree with an earlier poster: people will be heartbroken that they can't waltz into the "great hall", etc.

No, they weren't inside the show building but the castle. They were also on top of the roof. All they showed were the towers, etc. and how they looked like they were sitting on stilts up there. Mostly we saw steel beams and raw construction that no one will ever see.

There was nothing about the ride itself at all. They were simply photos of the castle shell. Here is the link to a few. The rest were similar.

Thanks guys, can't wait to see the interior of the show rooms and ride coming along

Quite minor, but I wonder how they are planning to light the place during the evenings? Old-English style lamp posts? Up-lit castle?
