With crystal chandeliers and quills, ledgers
and piles of wizard coins on goblin tellers' desks, the set of
Gringotts Wizarding Bank is the London attraction's biggest
expansion since it opened its doors in 2012.
Also on show is the vault where villain Bellatrix Lestrange
stored her valuables. There are rubberized golden treasures,
costumes and restored prosthetics for the films' goblin looks.
"It was a real restoration process...to bring all of these back
to life and back to kind of camera ready condition," actor
Warwick Davis, who played Gringotts employee Griphook, told
Reuters during a press preview on Tuesday.
"These sorts of products deteriorate very quickly in storage so
it's quite a feat to actually see them here looking as good as
they do."
The Gringotts Bank set opens to the public on April 6. Other
sets from the "Harry Potter" films at the attraction include the
eerie Forbidden Forest and Great Hall of Hogwarts.
