The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley™
From Magic Wands to Butterbeer
Diagon Alley is a re-creation of the magical shopping district where Harry Potter and other “wizards” shopped for magic wands and other essentials. The expansion was created in the space previously dedicated to the Jaws ride at Universal Studios and features a wide range of shops and eateries made famous in the Harry Potter series. Guests can purchase everything from interactive wands that initiate special effects, to Butterbeer-flavored ice cream.
The book and film series captured the hearts of millions and now, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is the only place in the world where the wonder, excitement and adventure comes to life. Where else can you ride on a dragon, eat exploding candy and experience wizard Magic?
An Immersive Theme Park Experience
From the entrance to Hogsmeade, with the Hogwarts Express billowing steam and whistling its arrival, through each shop and attraction, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is a one-of-a-kind, fully immersive theme park experience and the only place in the world that brings the magic of Harry Potter to life. Guests can explore some of the most significant and familiar locations from the books and films and find themselves in the heart of the excitement. Harry’s journeys will become their own.
The 20-acre area includes the village of Hogsmeade featuring Zonko’s joke shop, Honeydukes, the Three Broomsticks, the Hog’s Head pub, the Owlery and Owl Post, Ollivanders and Dervish and Banges. Just beyond Hogsmeade is Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods and three attractions that place guests right in the middle of Harry’s world: Dragon Challenge, Flight of the Hippogriff and located within Hogwarts castle, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

All Aboard The Hogwarts Express
All you need is a Universal Park-to-Park admission ticket (for entrance to both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure). Then, you can pass through Platform 9 ¾™ and board the Hogwarts™ Express* from King’s Cross Station in London, located inside Universal Studios Florida® theme park, and be magically transported to Hogsmeade™ Station, located inside Universal’s Islands of Adventure® theme park. Of course, you can ride the train in the other direction, as well – a unique and seamless journey that offers the best of both Harry Potter worlds.
Hogsmeade to London - Board from Hogsmeade inside Islands of Adventure, and from the Hogwarts Express train windows, you can enjoy the scenery of London as well as the magnificent British countryside. But stay alert as you will also enjoy enchanting encounters with some of the characters featured in the Harry Potter books and films. You may also encounter a bit of mischief before arriving at your final destination of Kings Cross Station in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ — Diagon Alley™, located inside Universal Studios Florida®.
London to Hogsmeade - “Muggles” who choose to board the Hogwarts™ Express at King's Cross Station inside Universal Studios, will walk straight through a solid brick wall onto Platform 9 ¾™ where they will find the train. From there, a Hogwarts™ Prefect will be waiting to lead you to your passenger compartment. The iconic steam engine train will take guests through the urban outskirts of London to the village of Hogsmeade™, where you can explore the area where Harry Potter went to school and his life at Hogwarts. As the train winds through the British countryside, be sure to keep an eye outside your window. You never know who, or what, you might see flying or lurking outside.
