Updated: Gringotts dragon being installed in Diagon Alley at WWoHP

by Toni Louise Cooper · May 24, 2014

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a… DRAGON?! That’s right, the Gringotts dragon has now been installed into the Diagon Alley expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando! Thanks to Twitter user @AmusementBuzz, pictures have surfaced of the dragon as it was being put into place. Exciting times!

@AmusementBuzz first tweeted, asking if there had actually been a report about someone seeing the dragon?

Did someone actually report seeing the dragon? Or did they just see the same crane thats been there for days?

A couple of hours later, more pictures were being posted:

At the beginning of the week, @AmusementBuzz also posted a picture of Kreacher in 12 Grimmauld Place:

Now, there’s also a video that has been uploaded to YouTube by user MagicCityMayhem of Kreacher creeping in the window.

Creepy but awesome, huh?

 

Update: Attractions Magazine‘s Youtube page has uploaded a video of the dragon being installed into the park. Check out the video below:

 

Thank you once again to all the sources above for the updates!
