If Jim Hill said it would be, then that means there's really absolutely, positively, no chance of that ever happening. That should clear everything up.
I get that but from what I can see, there’s very little backstage between the two plots. If an expansion was always planned then they would have designed this into the original design even if it never gets used.
Yea, I don’t understand the desire to pump MORE people into DAI'm not saying it can never expand. But if MoM was the "expansion" they had in mind... There's no reason to connect the two. You can "expand" London without touching the full, and overcrowded DA. It's perfect. The space to expand is outside of DA. FFL itself and all the wasted space around and in front of it.
I wasn't really talking about moving the back of house stuff, just using the space that is currently the access road and gate up to the back of house stuff doesn't seem unreasonable.
does it help to use all CAPS?BECAUSE THE MINISTIRY IS IN LONDON, USF IS HOME TO THE WIZARDING WORLD LONDON. Same reason why they were told no on building Diagon Alley next to Hogsmeade. Why am I the only person seeing this?
Ditto. I thought this was a free flowing discussion forum.People seem awfully worked up about this, to the point of abrasiveness.

Why would they put an entrance to the MoM in DA?
Why is that something everyone seems to want?
THE LEAKY CAULDRON IS IN LONDON.
THE LEAKY CAULDRON IS NOT IN DIAGON ALLEY.
WHY ARE WE YEL
Not the only entrance but reading comprehension is different for everyone. That's why texting the girlfriend is scary:bolt:
I guess I envision MOM like Gringots. It's an attraction inside of London.:shrug:I don't understand it either. It isn't necessary, and would be more in keeping with the books that MOM is accessed outside of DA. Having the entrance out in the London waterfront just like the the Hogwart's Express entrance would work better and makes more sense.
I totally could see someone mentioning it to him while he was touring DA prior to the grand open. Who knows how they heard about it, or if they were just guessing after seeing that door open and the fact that you can see Fear Factor through it? :shrug:
I think a magical fireplace in an otherwise boring London office facade would be a great entrance personally. But we do have the entrance to Leaky Cauldron inside Diagon, even though that should be in London, so anything's possible I guess.
I believe it's called Dueling Dragons or something like thatI believe DA has 1 attraction
Not me.Ok to move on...anyone want a ToT-style sign that changes from the name of the real life London building to The Ministry of Magic or whatever the attraction name is?
