does anyone know who is this supposed to be

An unnamed wizard from the Fountain of Magical Brethren in the British Ministry. We can presume it was rebuilt after being badly damaged when Harry encounters Voldemort during his 5th year and then temporarily replaced by the Magic is Might statue after the Ministry fell to the Death Eaters.

Long-winded but you asked

Hoping that giant screen is not the norm for most of the ride.

Bioreconstruct has shared a closer look at the fire and electrical effects testing:

The tavern is of course great, but it is really awesome to see the lighting for Kronos and Helios. Much better than I was thinking it may feature.

It really brings some commitment to the continuation of aesthetic and tie in to Helios being a part of the park.

I drove onto Epic Blvd for the first time this weekend at night (roads are now drivable by the public), and the lighting used for Helios is stunning. It has a really nice glow to it. The surrounding area is mostly dark too (for now, with no streetlights or parking lights on) so it really stands out.

One aspect I really feel like they do maybe better than modern Disney these days is getting pretty funky with their land kinetics.

The burning windmill, all of SNW, probably the windows in Potter, HTTYD has a coaster running its parameter, dragon drones, the other two rides, then supposedly all the water features etc. etc. A+ in this regard.
