Great area of universal, such thought and imagination goes into these areas and you can really tell. It's definitely shows. Worth noting that flight of the hippogriff is a kiddycoaster. I'm glad the staff members let us know as we were going to be in the line for 50 mins. We went back later when the line was shorter and we were so glad that as an adult couple we hadn't waited any longer!

Being a long time Harry Potter fan, it was exhilarating to visit the Wizarding World. Lots to see, the place is small but well built and can make any HP fan happy. You can buy butterbear, souvenirs, wands and candies too. I didn't go on the rides which i truly missed.

As we arrived once the parked opened, we first went to enjoy the wizarding world atmosphere. Short to little lines for butter beer which we had to snag before the long lines started to form. Stores were overcrowded so one bad to be try to step on anyone's toes. The ride flight of the hippogriff had a 40 minute wait time and the ride was no longer than 2 minutes which was very disappointing. Slight rush and strong movements but i was hoping for it to last a little longer. However, the forbidden journey had a much longer wait time but was worth it. Being inside the castle was fascinating. The ride felt worth the wait.

It was just as magical as I hoped it would be. My boyfriend bought me an interactive wand to do the spells, which made it even better. Just know that you should use your wand when the sun isn't directly overhead because it makes the sensors act up and not see you do the spell. If you look in the windows and see where the sensors are and the sun is bouncing back... wait and come back and they will work. Or block the sun with your map if you can. Wands should also not go on rides and need to be locked away. I hope these tips helped! Have fun.

Is there an olivanders wand shop

Hal Nichols | Aug 29, 2018
JonHatesStarWars | Aug 29, 2018

Hi Halaki, Yes, both Harry Potter areas have an Olivanders. Careful though, the wands are quite expensive. The "magic" wands work in specific areas of the park, but I personally don't think they're worth the cost. It's much cheaper to buy the wands outside the park!

Allen Barber | Aug 29, 2019
Philip Teresi | Aug 29, 2019

There are a couple salads available, and I think Butterbeer is only available in one style... But I'm not sure it's flavored naturally. It may be vegan by virtue of Artificial Flavors.

is it worth it..

Frarreola Frarreola | Aug 29, 2019
Lauren | Aug 29, 2019

Absolutely. Remember when you could get into Universal with like $5 and a soda can? And they couldn't GIVE away season passes? I went for the first time in like 2 decades and lemme tell you, I was blown away, by Harry Potter World specifically. It's small but super cute and well-designed. The interactive wand does contribute to the overall experience, but I'm not sure I'd purchase one unless I also committed to a season pass.

Jacob Brewer | Aug 29, 2018
Darren Otto | Aug 29, 2018

Orlando has Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley...2 different areas because Orlando has 2 different theme parks. They are tied together by Hogwarts Express, but you need the park hopper to access the train. Hogsmeade is identical.

isk creative | Aug 29, 2018
Cathy Solis | Aug 29, 2018

There is a choice of 1 or 2 or 3 or more days tickets. There is also a choice of standing in line for hours for each ride or Express Pass. It is better to call or check their website. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter covers two parks, Universal Studios & Adventure Island. I recommend the Two Park Ticket with Express Pass. As far as how many days depends upon one's schedule & one's budget.

Yes so long as you are in Hollywood! (Orlando has multiple parks with multiple Harry Potter themed areas, which means multiple tickets.) However so long as you are in Hollywood there is one ticket for the whole park including the wizarding world.

There are child swap rooms at the head of the queue. It looks like parents do the queue, then one stays in the room with the child while the other goes on the ride, then they swap and the other one goes on the ride. I have tried this myself, but that seems to be what happens.
