Well the title might be a bit strong but it is a really big problem.
First let me start off by saying that Universal has outdone themselves on the Harry Potter buildings and presumably the attraction as well. They look marvelous...when you are in the land that is. Nobody seems to have mentioned what it looks like everywhere else. Bad. As of now, with all visible signs of construction gone and only a month and a half or so until opening we are left with a gigantic showbuilding that looks like it won't be covered.

I don't know what Universal was thinking, but despite the amazingness of the rest of the new additions this is really just unacceptable. Even if it is covered up with a paint job it will not look nearly as cohesive as the rest of the new additions. It doesn't surprise me that Universal would cut corners but this seems like a bit much.
I'd say its as bad as Everest's backside but it in fact is much worse as its visible throughout the entire park!
I really hope I'll be eating my words in a few weeks, but I don't see how they'll cover this up and despite the rest of the Harry Potter additions, I'm extremely disappointed in this particular aspect.
