Construction Continues for Universal’s Harry Potter Expansion

Over the weekend, I got a chance to swing by Universal Orlando and check out the latest developments with the construction of London and Diagon Alley for the Harry Potter expansion. It’s hard to remember where Jaws used to be when you look at the new King’s Cross Station and façade.

From King’s Cross, Muggles will have the chance to ride the iconic Hogwarts Express between Hogsmeade and London, connecting the worlds and both of their theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.

Along the construction wall, Universal has set up some classic red London phone booth spots with a sneak peek of the construction. Here’s a few shots of the progress:
