Over the weekend, Universal Orlando began installing the dragon that will be perched atop Gringotts Bank in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s highly-anticipated expansion.

Remarks by the Mayor of Orlando in February hinted that Universal Studios was looking to open The Wizarding World of Harry Potter expansion in 2014.
Now, new information points to an opening in June of that year.
Yesterday we shared a little scoop concerning what the Harry Potter cast were filming for in regards to the Wizarding World expansion in Orlando.
So today we wanted to share the latest photos from the construction site itself, both at the existing Wizarding World park at Islands of Adventure and the new London area at Universal Studios.
We’ve been covering The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s expansion for over a year now. Quick catch up: Rumors state that a London area is being built which’ll include Gringotts bank, The Leaky Cauldron restaurant, and Diagon Alley.
Today we received photos that depict Gringotts’ windows and desks, eliminating any doubt that the rumors were true. They are our first physical evidence of the Gringotts plan.
