Just a day after a “Today Show” teaser revealed a first look inside the Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts attraction, Universal Orlando has released a closer look at the animatronic goblins that populate the bank in Diagon Alley.

“Here to open an account? Very well,” says one goblin in part of the entertainment that awaits guests who will travel to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter expansion at Universal Studios Florida this summer.

Goblin bankers at their ornate desks in the dimly lit Gringotts Bank scene, complete with tall windows and glowing lamps, capture the enchanting atmosphere of Universal Orlando’s Harry Potter World ride.

One of the Gringotts goblins, dressed smartly in a suit, sits behind a desk with an open ledger and quill, illuminated by twin enchanted lamps—just like the magical bankers you meet inside Escape from Gringotts at Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

The “Today Show” will offer further sneak peeks at Diagon Alley throughout next week’s airings. An opening date for Diagon Alley has not yet been announced, but could be during these shows next week.
