Whether you’re a Harry Potter™ super-fan or you’re not familiar with the story of the boy wizard, you can’t fail to be astounded when you set foot in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Diagon Alley™.
Located at Universal Studios Florida, this is just about as close to actually living in the enchanting world of wizards as you can get!
Enjoy a cold Butterbeer™ at the Leaky Cauldron™, shop for your own wand at Ollivanders™ and hold on tight for the exceptional multi-dimensional thrill ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™!
Plus, with a 2 or 3 Park Explorer Ticket you can travel between both lands of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ by riding the Hogwarts™ Express# between King’s Cross Station in Universal Studios Florida and Hogsmeade™ Station at Universal’s Islands of Adventure!
Min Height: 42”/3ft 6″/106cm
You definitely don’t want to miss this ride.
The adventure begins before you even enter Gringotts™ bank, as you pass beneath the massive fire-breathing dragon at the far end of Diagon Alley™!
Inside, walk past the hard working Goblins in the bank’s detailed marble lobby and keep a look-out for the 4 chandeliers that are made up of nearly 62,000 crystals!
The inside of the bank is exciting enough, but just wait until you get to the vaults…. You’ll be taken on a perilous journey through cavernous passageways that lead deep underground, trying to evade malicious villains along the way.
It’s every Harry Potter™ fan’s dream come true – you can actually take a real train journey on the Hogwarts™ Express!
The Hogwarts™ Express connects the two lands of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, so when you take the journey you’ll be travelling from Kings Cross Station in Universal Studios Florida to Hogsmeade™ Station in Universal’s Islands of Adventure or vise versa. Even the departing train stations are true to the Harry Potter™ books and films!
If you’re taking the journey from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ – Diagon Alley™, you’ll board the Hogwarts™ Express at King’s Cross Station. Just like in the books and films, you’ll walk straight through a brick wall onto Platform 9 ¾™ and be shown into your passenger compartment.
The view from the train windows and the overall experience are different depending on which way you’re travelling, so be sure to take the train in both directions! Along the way you’ll have views of the English countryside and London, as well as some unexpected surprises along the journey!
*To ride the Hogwarts™ Express you need an Explorer ticket – these include admission to both Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida and are available to book with FloridaTix. Additional restrictions may apply.
This is the wand shop where wizards and witches can be chosen by their wand.
Ollivanders™ has a special collection of unique wands, as well as the original favourites. Some of the wands you’ll find here include:
