Stuart Craig, set designer: The promise in the beginning was that this experience of the Wizarding World would look like the movies and, as the designer of the movies, I’m here to make sure we deliver on that count.

Emma Watson: The massive challenge to make a real place that people could go to … I just think that’s such an amazing achievement.

David Heyman, producer: What’s been really exciting is seeing people working on this with the same love and attention to detail that we give to the films. That passion, that care, that attention to detail – it’s written over every aspect of this project.

David Barron, producer: It’s just quite extraordinary. I think the fans, when they come to visit the park, will be completely immersed essentially in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It’s not just coming to a park. One actually feels like your part of the real world of Harry Potter. It’s just extraordinary.

Daniel Radcliffe: It is absolutely vast, Hogwarts castle. Towering up the entire village. It’s just fantastic. It has a potential to be a fantastic memory that kids will take with them.
