Thanks for the screen caps. The gates and fence also suggest that they'll be closed during HHN, and we'll have to walk along the embankment.
Thanks for the screen caps Gambit. I hadn't thought to do that, probably because of Woodbury stating that it would open in 2010 among other gaffs. Get that man a teleprompter and lock him down.
On that note... apparently, they are going to completely reproduce the Eros statue in Piccadilly... to 100% scale no less! I'm impossibly impressed.
A reminder of what that scale it is:

^ I do expect those grassy areas... they will be fenced in like multiple parts of Central Park across the lagoon. And if parts are open and people get out of hand crushing the grass underfoot... the whole thing will be fenced in.
I'm not sure I'd be so happy about a full size fountain and all the grass represented in the art. Don't expect those large grassy areas especially, though the fountain may indeed be full size. That plaza will more than likely act as the queueing area to enter DA on busy days (and it will likely be "busy days" for most of the first year or more it is open), so I'd temper your expectations with more planters and concrete walkway in a very organized fashion to create walkways. Of course, that's just me going on what I still have in my mind from seeing those early site plans way back when that showed us the embankment, so the memory could be a bit foggy, or even changed completely since.
Did they say anything about how the train ride will be. To the average person, the Hogwarts express is just a train. So unless its more than that, this area will only have one ride.
In the Hogsmead virtual tour, Zonkos name doesn't even appear.
Because it's being removed.
