In Universal, one of the best places in the parks is definitely The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
Today I will be telling you some of the best things that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to offer!
I would recommend buying your very own interactive wand. These wands can be used in the parks too! When you buy a wand, it comes with a map of the entire world of Harry Potter. You walk over to a spot that was on your map and wave your wand the way it says. Then it starts moving!
You can buy your very own interactive wand at a store called Ollivander’s.
You should take the Hogwarts Express between the two Universal parks.
There are two Harry Potter lands in Universal and if you want to do both you should go on the Hogwarts Express. The inside of the train looks just like the magical train that was in the Harry Potter movies!
You will have to get on the train at Kings Cross Station at Universal Studios and then get off at Hogsmeade Station in Islands of Adventure. I would also recommend riding the train the other way around too because the experience is different.
You should go to Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes!
This is the exact same store from the Harry Potter books that was owned by Fred and George Weasley. This is a great store to look around in and some of the snacks from this store are the same snacks that are talked about in the books!
I would recommend riding Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts. Escape From Gringotts is an indoor roller coaster ride in Diagon Alley. I also really like the cue for this ride.
Another great roller coaster is Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. In my opinion, this is one of the best rides in all of Universal Studios. This roller coaster is outside and goes really fast, so if you are someone who does not like super fast roller coasters, this might not be the ride for you.
Don’t forget to pay close attention to the dragon in Diagon Alley. There is a dragon on top of the Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts ride that, every ten minutes, breathes fire!
I hope that this article helps you have a great time while in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
