Welcome Muggles

Being a potter maniac, didn’t you always want to drink the butter beer, take a ride on the Hogwarts’ Express, and have your own vault full of gold at the Gringotts’ Bank?
Muggles! All this is about to be true. You all have been accepted at the Hogwarts’ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Come summer of 2014, and Universal Orlando will let us into a secret world named The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley at Universal Studios, Florida.

The coolest part is the locality. It’s hidden! The outside area of this park is a mesh of skyscrapers, masking the entrance to the Diagon Alley. Once inside, you’ll be awestruck by the exquisite and perfectly detailed magical world.

Some of the major attractions are:

  • Gringotts (the goblin run bank in the series) - It will be having a multi-sensory thrill ride across its vaults. The dragon atop this bank will be blowing off real fire from time to time!
  • Hogwarts Express – The train which takes Harry to the world of magic, will shuttle people around the park. You can take the pleasure of the British countryside along the way.
  • The 3 broomsticks – The Hogsmeade bar will serve you delicious butter beers and appetizers.
  • The Leaky Cauldron – The popular wizarding pub and inn will be a fine British dining experience.

Other cool hangouts are Ollivanders Wand shop, Madam Malkin’s robes, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. There will also be many places which author J K Rowling provided the studio that were unseen in the book.

Ticket cost:

Place Price (Kids) Price (Adults)
Admission + Diagon Alley $86 $92
Additional Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Express $122 $128

So put on your robe and steady your wand, mount your broom and get ready for this exponential experience of the magical world of Harry Potter!
