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.
The iconic dragon was installed with a large crane on the building housing Diagon Alley’s main attraction, “Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts.â€

The dragon was first unveiled in concept art for Diagon Alley last May. At first no one assumed that the dragon would actually be atop Gringotts bank, let alone breathing fire, but it didn’t take long for a Universal representative to confirm that it was true.
