Diagon Alley Sweepstakes Teaser Video

The Today Show just released this video teasing a new sweepstakes to win a trip to the opening of Diagon Alley. The video features Al Roker walking through the queue line for Gringotts.

The Wizarding World of Al Roker

Not what he'll look like.

A news report of the Today Show doing a live segment from WWoHP - Diagon Alley surfaced this week. Shortly after, additional reports of the segment being cancelled came out. The rumor is spreading that the event was cancelled due to Diagon Alley issues, raising the question of delays in the project in various communities.

As discussed on this week's podcast, this is not the case. While a live report was rumored and did not happen, a pre-recorded segment that was filmed in Hogsmead and Diagon Alley, with Al Roker, was completed. No word on an air date is given, but we expect it to air the week of April 28th. 

In addition, we do not believe any major issues have arisen in the recent weeks, and none to throw off the planned opening date.
