Correct. The Floo Network is how you go from 1920s Paris to 1990s London.is the Floo Network in 1920's Paris also used for time travel to present-day MOM for the Trial?

the biggest complaint everyone has with Galaxy's Edge is that it is stuck in a timeline,
the biggest complaint everyone has with Galaxy's Edge is that it is stuck in a timeline, and not one that people enjoy being stuck in.
This does the opposite, and people are complaining about continuity issues? STOP. This is the best of both worlds! We get an awesome new land style, with fun creatures, and then a callback to the one place HP fan's wanted most.
My kids love the Fantastic Beasts movies, and are big Harry Potter fans. I like the first FB movie.Well, in this case, the new shop is surrounded by a land focused on movies that even the most ardent Potter fans can't enjoy.
A cool new version with different aesthetics.No, because there's only one. Not a duplicate in another WDW park. Thats my entire point. Has nothing to do with the attractions.
The selling point is 'here's this thing that you can already do somewhere else'.
A second one is phase 2. Which will be a massive new draw because people love the Potter stuff.The new land looks great but is there really only one ride?
Good question about Pokémon, although not as a replacement for their golden goose.Why wasn't Pokemon considered for this new park, I get it that it was rumored for Studios for a while, but Pokemon is way more beloved than this overrated franchise that has its author getting recent backlash and with good reason
I don’t think we know this yet, but let’s hope not. That’d be a bad move.Do you have to buy a MoM wand for the EU MoM activations, or, will the ones from IoA and USF work in MoM?
Why so dishonest? These are not the land's main selling points by any means.The first two things they talk about are a wand shop and butterbeer.
The attraction obviously is the headliner, and not what I was referring to.

While true to the film, the land seems too Muggle- no whimsical architecture rendered askew from ages of time. Full scale realism with painted flourishes.
MoM could've gone in USF next to Diagon taking over MiB and Simpsons. And, bam, USF is no longer a third tier park.The Ministry of Magic ride was intended for USF until EU plans started formulating, and I agree it would have worked better (thematically) there, but the idea was too good to go unused and if they built it at USF, they would have had to come up with an equally amazing concept for EU. Was it the cheap way out? Sure. But I don't blame them. Just as how a Great Hall restaurant would make more sense at IOA, but if it ends up in EU as is rumored (where you get to it via Floo Network or Port Key), I think they'll get a pass.
They could've made a land out of the Weasly hovel!!As for Wizarding Paris, while I agree with your general sentiment, if not Paris, where? What other exterior locations could they do that would have any appeal?
Newt was still alive at the time of POAHogsmead at IOA must be set no later than 1997 (the year Dumbledore dies) given that he is present in Forbidden Journey
Diagon Alley at Uni Orlando theoretically is set in early May 1998 (the year Deathly Hallows is set) given the events that take place in Escape from Gringotts)
Yet the two lands have a train that connects them that would seem to imply that they take place at the same time (which they cannot)
Ministry of Magic is set no earlier than late May 1998 so we already know that it isn't the same timeline as the other two lands... it really sets the lands to be visited in chronological order from IOA, to UOR, to EU to create the full "trilogy" as they described it. The rest of Wizarding Paris can be exactly the same as it is in Fantastic Beasts so long as they include none of the FB characters. There is no reason to assume that many of the shops and such seen in Fantastic Beasts wouldn't still be around 70-80 years later (Olivander's itself is believe is over 1600 years old by the time of the events of Harry Potter). Someone already posted that Eddie Redmayne would reprise his role, but I guess they could always have him appearing in a portrait or as a ghost or something and still keep the timeline (at least of the EU land) consistent... though honestly, if they included Newt in the "flesh", only the biggest fans would question/complain...
I'm going to assume you meant MIB and the Fear Factor theater, otherwise you're asking for (by far) the largest dark ride ever created (and even that would still be quite large.)MoM could've gone in USF next to Diagon taking over MiB and Simpsons. And, bam, USF is no longer a third tier park.
The Ministry’s plot means it should have been in USF.
The land was originally Ministries of Magic.The Ministry of Magic ride was intended for USF until EU plans started formulating, and I agree it would have worked better (thematically) there, but the idea was too good to go unused and if they built it at USF, they would have had to come up with an equally amazing concept for EU.
