The books do too.
My book collection (outside of 7) did not come with me when I moved out of my parents. No time/means for proper research
; but I trust it was in the books. Sounds familiar and Bill was established as being around from book 5 on IIRC. The brain just likes to leave those things out when you see a seemingly easy point to jump on in a thread 
.

I'm aware that he came back to London to live since he was in the later books, but I don't recall him working back at Gringotts. From my understanding he came back just to be a part of the Order. Would't he have been handy when the main characters tried to break in in book 7? Why wasn't this addressed in the books? BTW, anybody can read Harry Potter wiki.

Read the book, it was addressed. When they arrive at Shell Cottage it is mentioned that the Weasleys were now officially going into hiding (with part of the family at the cottage and the rest at Aunt Muriels). Bill also tries to figure out what they are planning with Griphook but it is explicitly mentioned that Harry and the gang wanted Bill in the dark because they didn't want him to know the specifics of the plan (Hermione becoming Bellatrix).
Now you're just being obtuse I'm afraid, those were pretty plainly stated plot points.

The site backs up what he is saying because that is the exact site he used to look up the information he posted. lol

Your telling me to read the book? Wasn't it you that confused Bill with Arthur just a moment ago? Wasn't it you who said you don't have the books anymore? Get off Harry Potter Wiki and read them yourself.

Do you have a credible source that disproves the information?

Deflection: cute, but when your failed point is in text for everyone to see it doesn't really work. Your counter was proven wrong. If you cannot disprove it then go away. You're making yourself look sad.

Yea, and anyone can read the books too. Which I do. Once a year. It's said when you find out Bill and Fleur are dating that Bill returned to London to work with the Order and got a desk job at Gringotts, where he met Fleur and started dating/giving her English lessons.
Nice try, though.

I can admit if I miss a small plot point or two. It happens. But even if he had a part time job that came with a desk for a few months, this doesn't constitute and entire scene in the ride, sorry. Which is my point anyway. There are so many better scenes that are being left out of the "leaked" ride description. But I still know the difference between Arthur and Bill Weasley. And thanks for calling me cute.

What better scenes are being left out? Out of the whole series, I can only think of two instances where we are taken into Gringotts.

I know you were hoping to hide it with your sad attempt at a witty reply; but let the record show that our Harry Potter expert has finally realized that they have no backup for their argument and are in fact wrong. Have a good one.

Considering it would have been 2 years since the end of Goblet of Fire and the beginning of Deathly Hallows when the Order goes into hiding, he would have been there for a lot longer than a few months. Where he's in the ride or not (I think it's a good chance, probably in a queue), he and Griphook are the most prominent characters that are involved with the bank. The chances of them showing up are pretty high.

Okay, then I was wrong about Bill working in London. But regardless of what was mentioned in passing in the books, that scene will be a lame addition to the ride. Especially if something like Bellatrix's vault is missing all together. Plus, why would a part time employee that only worked there for a few months get an entire office? Which is my point. Give me scenes worth seeing in this ride. Stuff that had monumental impacts the the plot. Hopefully this "leak" is not a complete description of the show scenes the ride getting. I have high hopes for the expansion.

Backup? At least I own the books. Bye. *teehee*

Also, our resident flip-flopper has gone on record today. Take note. Or "let the record show".

I agree with you on this. I would actually prefer a ride and queue experience that delivers layers of the Wizarding World we haven't already experienced in the books/movies. Particularly since one of the strongest things about the Potter series is its vivid world-building. Getting a chance to glimpse the peripheries of Jk's world is actually quite exciting. And speaking of J.K, considering how she is very much involved in approving everything that goes into WWOHP, I would bet that she specifically told the designers what Bill's office might look like and what interesting enchantments non-canon Gringott vaults might contain. This, in and of itself, is incredibly exciting.

There's a pretty big difference between realizing a mistake and admitting it right away and arguing a point you can't back up until the bitter end, just want to make sure you understand that "the record shows that". If you told me that I'd be coming onto a Disney forum to see some crybaby get butthurt over Harry Potter canon I would have laughed in your face. You defy internet logic

That doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you are wrong about something and he is right.
Bye. *teehee*

I really like the idea of a story or series of scenes not from the book, if it is executed well it will stand on its own merit. Scenes or places from the book should be part of the story but not made up entirely of them. I want to go past things that the kids did in the books but not dwell on them. As far as bill's office could they send someone over to peek at this guys office:
