Weren’t their butts successfully kicked? Shouldn’t they all be in jail or on the run?
Umbridge wasn’t a Death Eater, she was a collabeaurateur. Why would they try to rescue her?
And what are all the creatures doing there? Sorry, but this sounds like they just threw a bunch of unrelated ideas together and hoped it would all make sense in the end
I love HP, but Dark Universe is still priority one for me. Even Isle of Berk seems more ambitious

I see them as the wizarding version of Nazies. Evil is attracted to evil, and more will pop-up.

I completely forgot today was the day.
MoM looks like a mash up of ROTR and ToT!
Just off of my gut from watching the videos, here is my order;
- Wizarding World
- Celestial Park
- How to Train Your Dragon
- Nintendo
- Dark Universe
But I am pschyed for them all.
Celestial Park at #2 may suprise but this themeing is totally my vibe, the coaster appears to be my perfect coaster, and carousels are a sentimental favorite.
But Wizarding World 
We love Fantastic Beasts so the wand interactions and the show are so exciting, in addition to the iconic ride.
I am guessing it is MoM that is the ride that’s delayed. That is a LOT of moving parts and effects.

Not sure UOR is concerned with rides making complete sense.
Why is there a T-rex in the raptor enclosure??
Why are we having to get out of History of Magic if we’re muggles??
Why is ET still called ET on his home planet??
Why are there no trolls on Trollercoaster??
It doesn’t mean that the ride isn’t still going to be absolutely phenomenal…

Hagrid’s lips are not in sync with what he’s saying. And the unicorn is definitely the weakest feature.

You’re being diverted through a maintenance area in JPRA. The T-Rex has escaped and found you
You are supposed to be going to a boring lecture at Hogwarts as a guest. The Trio want to show you a tour of the campus instead
Because his real name is Zrek and it’s easier to just say ET. 
(Plus, I think his friends like to mock him for getting left on Earth!)
You are the Troll riding on a Caterbus!

Because it wouldn’t be a very fun ride otherwise.
Because it wouldn’t be a very fun ride otherwise.
Because…we just call people (ahem, extra-terrestrials) by the names we first knew them by.
No comment.

But surely the guys on the green planet call him by his name?
None of these glaring plot points make any of these rides any less fun (Trollercoaster aside 
).
My point is that you could pick holes in the premise of many rides.
I’m not at all concerned by the disjointed storyline proposed for the new Wizarding World.
It’s going to be amazing!!

Okay. Here’s my analogy.
I’m talking to my kids about something my wife said. But I don’t call her by her name to my kids. I call her “Mom.” I might say, “Didn’t Mom say to quiet down?” (Totally made-up example.)
So, in the same way, the fellow extra terrestrials nicely refer to E.T. by the name we know him as for our sakes.

Perhaps so. But it was here on the forums that I heard those rumors. I have no idea to the validity of it all.
But to your point…I guess we shouldn’t, then, take any stock into what was reported about them running behind either.

So…you’re saying we shouldn’t trust Len about these kinds of things?
Anyhow, I’ll just assume things are proceeding as expected until we hear otherwise.

So you can have a themed land that contains two completely different timeframes, and no one will really care, and most will be more excited about it. Huh… is Disney aware this can be done? Theme is great until it hinders the experience, instead of enhancing it.

I also assume that Paris and the animals are Fantastic Beasts - so it makes complete sense and is squeeee!
Then the MoM is Harry Potter timeline. Perhaps the queue will slightly explain the time shift - it is Magic after all! Why not dementors - they show up everywhere when things are tough and dark is on the loose

This video definitely cemented the Ministry of Magic as my top land that I am looking forward to!
The ride looks like Universal’s response to Rise of the Resistance – which is just as much a matter of scope and scale of the ride building and queue as it is an immersive ride experience.
The streets of Paris look incredible and I it’s going to be a fun place to hang out and explore.

Right there with you on all those points!

I don’t mind the shift in time or place. We’re already doing that by entering the portals from one land to another. Being too constrictive has caused disappointment to Star Wars fans who want to see Luke and Leia in Galaxy’s Edge but may never get to do so because of the time when Batuu is supposed to exist.
What I hope is that we get Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint rather than Clearly Fake Hermione like in Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Express. Very jarring.
