The official website for Universal Orlando Resort's upcoming Halloween Horror Nights this fall stated that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley attraction will not be open during this event, set to take place between September 19 - November 1, 2014.

So for those interested in attending HHN this year, do take note that the new Diagon Alley attraction at Universal Studios Florida will be closed at that time. There is still no set opening date for the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley, but there will be a VIP and media event next week, attended by cast of the series (including Helena Bonham Carter, already confirmed), as well as SnitchSeeker, who will be covering all the festivities live from next Tuesday on.

Additionally, the large walls blocking and barricading the London facade hiding Diagon Alley were taken down on Monday, though there are still small fences stopping guests from actually entering the Wizarding village and King's Cross. Some of those photos of the London facade in plain view, from Inside the Magic, can be seen here.

Do you mean to say that Diagon Alley won't officially open until after? Or if Diagon Alley opens, they will just have this section closed off during HHN...

Hmmmmm.... I soo can't wait to go! I wish I could meet Helena Bonham Carter!!!! She is one of my favorites! What I wouldn't do for my daughter to get to meet her! Would just love meeting some of the others scheduled to return, too. Fingers crossed!

I believe it just means the section will be closed off during HHN, but it should definitely be open by then (that is after this summer).

???? wait opening after the summer? that... kind of doesn't make sense?

the wall to the new hp section are finally down, it looks like they're... 80/90% done with things-- the media VIP thing is going on in the 17-19 of June and Summer is the perfect time to open the park (because everyone is out of school- and that's what they did with the park at island of adventures)

why would they open after the summer? do you know something we dont?

(and I really hope they don't I'm going mid-july and i hope it's open by then)

^ She's saying Halloween Horror Nights is open after this summer.

Don't panic - Diagon Alley is definitely opening this summer!

I think what they mean is they wont have Harry Potter Diagon Alley up during HHN which is a seperate event at night. I dont think they mean they will close Harry Potter Diagon alley during the day when HHN is not going on. But if Im wrong Universal Orlando is making a pretty stupid choice that will lose them lots of money, byt who knows.
