The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Harry Potter was my childhood. I enjoyed this part of the park. And also enjoyed the Butter Beer! Didn’t get a chance to dine in this area this time. I certainly look forward to returning!

Professor, is this all real? Honestly, it felt like I was actually in Hogwarts. Harry Potter is my favorite since I was a child! I’m obsessed with Harry Potter and it’s like a dream came true. I loved EVERYTHING about it! I visited it early in the morning, it wasn’t crowded but after 12:00 it is. There are plenty of activities, rides, attractions, shops. Exceeded my expectations, that’s why I visited Universal Studios a second time. After drinking my butterbeer, eating chocolate frogs and Bertie botts we left full of joy and thrilled!

An incredible place which every Harry Potter fan should visit once in lifetime! Really you can feel you're inside Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Every detail in the rooms, streets and shops are perfect! You must visit it!

Favorite part of universal!! Butter beer was delicious and the rides were fantastic!! I literally felt like I was walking through a Harry Potter book!!

Nicely done theme park with a pretty good ride. Few things to know. You have to pit your bags and stuff in a locker to get on the ride, bigger lockers cost $5. There’s also a single rider line which bypasses the vast majority of the actual line. The ride also gave a little motion sickness though it is still a really good ride.

Very cute scenery for all Harry Potter fans. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get on the two rides due to my size (stomach lol) However the cast members were super sweet and decided to let me walk through the castle instead. I didn't but it was nice of them to offer.

This was a really cool experience to just walk through and see all of the different shops around the place. They did well at making you feel like you’re walking through the world of Harry Potter

Universal Studios has two interactive areas of the park that are initially fun but overall disappointing and ridiculously expensive: the magic wands inside of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the power up bands in Super Nintendo World. The wands were $60 a piece (plus tax) and absolutely not worth the investment for your whole family. If you REALLY want to try them consider buying one and sharing before you go all out (they get boring quickly unless you're buying just to have the souvenir). There are several places inside the land that you can use them to make "magic" things happen but honestly getting them to work it isn't easy or intuitive, we found one very helpful attendant but even then needed lessons for almost every single one. Oh and they're not refundable, but they won't tell you that before you buy them. ☺️ The butterbeer is worth trying, I recommend the regular kind we didn't really like the frozen option and the rides were worth riding once or twice. I honestly would have been more in awe of the area but last year we visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Japan and it was bigger and so much better in my opinion (the wands were also half the price). Just saying 😉.
