Amazing experience. If you're a Harry potter fan, you have to visit.

Hogwarts was amazing. For $60 you can buy a wand and roam the area with a map to cast spells to interact with your surroundings. Brilliant! The attention to detail really made you feel like you were in Hogwarts. The downside was the part was way over sold, and you had to swim through a sea of people to get anywhere. 2 hours minimum wait on every ride. The sidecar ride (a major attraction) broke down after waiting in line for an hour. So, for the price of admission, we only got to ride a few rides. Was it worth the ticket price? No... I still gave them 5 stars as what we got to enjoy was amazing. Try to go when it's less crowded. Good luck!

I went with students for a grad bash night and this is a terrific thing for students to do as a senior class together. You actually can do many rides this way. I don’t like these big parks because you usually only get to do very few things because of the crowds so this was a rare and special thing that the park does for students. This is the first time I’ve gone and the Harry Potter experience was way more excellent than I thought it would be. I think I would even be okay in lines for these things because there is so much to look at while you wait. I really loved the hulk roller coaster and all of the simulation experiences that we did were really good.

Amazing! You truly feel like you’re in Hogsmeade. We do wish there was more space because when it gets packed it’s difficult to walk around and enjoy it but it truly looks beautiful nonetheless. Make sure you get a frozen Butterbeer from the stands, They’re delicious! And don’t miss out on Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike adventure, truly one of the best rides at the parks

Absolutely loved Hogwarts! I am not a Harry Potter person at all (the wife is) but I was blown away on how great of a time I had. All the rides were great, therein was out of this world, super clean, no breakdowns and of course that frozen butterbeer! Coming here made me a bigger fan of HP for sure!

Absolutely amazing. As my first time it was incredible. Rides, food, drinks etc were all spot on. The special beers were delicious and all of Diagon Alley was exceptional. Well done!

This was our first time to Universal Studios and we had a great time. We actually preferred this park to Disney. It was clean, well laid out, and there were some actual normal stores - not all themed. We didn't realize when planning you needed an upgrade to visit the other parks, so we stayed at the main Universal Park, which didn't give us access to the Hogsmeade part of HarrY Potter or the train. We also didn't get to go on the Jurassic coaster, which was a bummer. We loved the Jimmy Fallon ride, Gringott's Bank ride, and the Bourne Stunt Spectacular can't be missed. It blew us away and I hate to say it, but I enjoyed it a lot more than the Indiana Jones Stunt Show at Disney. My son loved the Rip Rocket Coaster. The bad: most of the rides are motion cars while you watch a 3-D screen and have to wear glasses, which get annoying. A few of the rides look terrible and need new video, especially The Simpsons ride. The transformers ride is cool, but the screen again seems blurry and not very crisp. The Men in Black ride is a fun shoot aliens with a laser gun type ride. With such a big lake in the middle of the park they need a Jaws ride or attraction! Overall we recommend this park, but get the multipark ticket for two days (unless you want the waterpark- then do 3) and get the lightning pass. We did the one where you can jump the line once for every ride, but you can pay even more to do it as much as you want.

Amazing experience. Second time with my wife for vacation and was blown away both times by the detail put into this place. The castle is amazing and the rides were awesome. Not a huge fan of the breakfasts as they had powdered egg for the promotional meals. Definitely try the butter beer! Make sure you bring a poncho or something to keep dry as it rains suddenly in the afternoon. There are plenty of places to go if it does rain but it is good to be prepared. I usually bring a ziploc sports bag to keep everything dry.

Hands down the best area of the parks. Love all the details they put into it. Could spend the entire day looking at things and embracing yourself into the wizarding world.

I'm writing this as someone who has never seen the films, or read the books. This place was packed but it was moving very well. Butterbeer is very good and the food here was best in the park. Lots for the kids to see and do and the train ride over was very well done. Very nice attraction and I hope they continue to build on it. Very well set up. Nicely done. As I write this review Audible begins Book 1 The Sorcerer's stone.

Such a magical place. However, I do prefer Diagon Alley a little more over Hogsmeade. There's more shade. Hagrid's ride is also really hard to get on.

When I walked into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I couldn’t stop smiling. It is every Harry Potter fans dream come true. Hogsmade village is beautifully recreated, every detail is mesmerizing. The shops, the restaurants, the butter beer, it’s all Harry Potter perfection.

This alone is worth the trip. It's not a huge park, but it is remarkably well done! Enjoy a butterbeer or breakfast at the three broomsticks, ride rides, watch shows and spend money (and you will).

Franchise defining part of the amusement park. It's good but gets too crowded during the late morning and early afternoon! For those parents who want to stay economical during the park visit, get your wands from any online retailer and save on the expenses. The franchise markets their products very aggressively and you end up spending a lot.

What to say? If you're a HP fan you're going to love it! It's just so fun geeking out and reliving your childhood dreams of visiting Hogwarts.

I am not a typical Harry Potter fan. I have never known about Harry potter until now & I enjoyed the wizard world in universal. The scenery was beautiful! I feel it's worth the stop if your visiting the park for the day. I had so much fun. I also never knew about butter beer & since I tried one I needed more! They are so good. I missed out on a lot to never want to get into the Harry Potter spirit. I went & visited the store & purchased two Harry wands. Your able to use the wands through the wizard world & do some magic!! They do work. If you purchase one make sure to save your receipt cause if something happens to it your able to get it replaced The work at all the parks that have the Harry world in them. The rides are sooo fun!! You must ride them all. It's a great time being there & something interesting to see if you've never got into Harry potter. You don't gotta be a total fan to have some fun! Just check it out & you'll he happy you did.

I love happy potter world. The train was amazing. An amazing experience. I love the butter beer . you can get it iced, frozen, or hot. i love to get the frozen. The light show in harry potter world is amazing and very good. the ride was good and i had such a magical experience

The atmosphere recreation achieved here is incredible. It worth coming in the day and in the night, specially if you get to watch the show "The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle" which runs on select nights. The show consist of high resolution projection over the facade of the castle and some limited fireworks. This nighttime spectacle begins at dusk (start times vary) and continues approximately every 20 minutes until park close. For us the best place to see the show is near the statue of the snowman's statue.

Such a magical place. I love all the details they put into the decorations and the rides, you really feel like you're in a magical world. You forget you're in universal until you step out of the gates. The light show on the castle is 10/10 definitely worth staying to watch.

I am sure I would have loved this...but this area was so crowded you couldn't see anything. The wait times for the rides were not possible with our group and the gift shop in the castle is so dark we had to use flashlights just to see the merchandise. The Hogwarts Express train ride was the best part of this area. Oh and the Butter Beer was Delicious. Maybe next time we go I will get the experience I was looking for, didn't happen this trip 🫤

This place was AMAZING. I had a blast reliving my childhood. Sonia at Ollivander’s was absolutely lovely and so helpful. She has such a cheery disposition and was really knowledgeable about the different customizations of the wands. Definitely elevated the whole experience.

I was very excited to come to the park, but walked away disappointed. The ice cream was half melted when served to me. The bank happily took my money and exchanged for paper gift certificates instead of galleons. When I asked for my money back, they told me I had to go to the front gates to talk with guest services. The interactive wands were fun and cute to see all the small details responding to the wands. Definitely made it feel more magical. However, the array of merchandise was very disappointing as there were more choices outside the park than inside! Be sure to ride the hogwarts train both ways for different experiences!

So well built. The queue to the ride (simulator - forbidden journey) is amazing, and they allow people who don't want to ride to walk through as well so that you don't miss out on the experience! Incredible how the pictures all talk to each other like they do in the films. Ride was fantastic, not too jerky, bumpy, very smooth. Tilts back a fair way, but not upside down. Probably my favourite ride of the day. I would have done the Hippogriff ride, but it was a long wait for a quick ride. The harry potter shops were incredible.

A terrific experience. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan so this was truly heaven for me. Made exactly like the set in movies, the attention to detail is very impressive. Even though the gift shops are overpriced, it is still work getting a few mementos - the wands and the cloaks I bought reminds me of the amazing experience we had here. Really impressed and definitely recommend.

My family and I visited the Wizarding World for the second time this summer. We loved it just as much as the first. The park is incredibly realistic and creates a wonderful feeling of home. In terms of accessibility, the park is very crowded. It is a popular attraction, and you must have patience with large crowds. If you are concerned about the number of people, I recommend visiting at a slower time of their season. You can see in my photo below what a typical day looks like in the village of Hogsmeade during the month of August. Overall, the food is great, and the rides are fun. If you are looking for an accessible ride for all family members, I strongly recommend Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, located in the Hogwarts castle.

Universal has done such an amazing job a recreating Harry Potter. Both sides to the world of Harry Potter are just as good. The detail and effort put into each building is amazing. The rides in the world of Harry Potter are just as good. One thing I like is when you purchase a Harry Potter wand you can interact with objects and items throughout the Harry Potter World. The Three Broomsticks is by far the best food in the park. It’s a rustic tavern in Hogsmeade with a basic menu. I think if given the space, Universal could have made an entire park just for Harry Potter and it would be amazing. Entry to the park includes entry to the World of Harry Potter.

Harry Potter experience was mind blowing amazement! Being able to fully immerse myself in a world I've loved for so long was wonderful. Such remarkable re-creations! I can't wait to go back again and explore even more!

The buildings are cool…. And that’s about all the good that I can say. The guests are rude, the employees are worse (minus one in Madam Malkins Robes, that was awesome (Barbara C?)). Everything is run so inefficiently. Three brooms is the worst run “restaurant” I’ve been to. Get in line to get in line to… you guessed it… get in line! I will admit, it’s going to be over-crowded and frustrating regardless of how it’s run, but they could do so much better! The icing on the cake was standing in line for over an hour for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, when they made announcements for 45 minutes saying the ride was down and would be up momentarily, finally saying it was down until further notice, with no estimated time to fix. I bought season passes, and am here for a week… highly unlikely to ever go back, at least not in the summer.

It was a cute area. The one is universal was bigger. My granddaughter went inside the castle and she loved it. She showed me pictures she took inside. It looked pretty cool. We ate at one of the restaurants in the Harry Potter world and the food was amazing.

Super cool. Really enjoyed it. Maybe more than my 7 and 8 year old did. Wish they weren't out of fast passes or I would have done more rides. Butterbeer was good. Get the frozen. Also, definitely buy the park hopper pass so you can take the Hogwarts Express between Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

Coming here was like a dream come true. We saw Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. Hogwarts is actually a ride but if you don’t want to get on the ride, let the staff know you just want to walk through and you can follow the path of the riders and see all of the cool rooms. On a busy day I recommend getting on the Express line to tour the castle. Hogsmeade is just as quaint and true to movie form as Diagon Alley. If you’re hungry, stop in for a bite to eat at The Three Broomsticks. We got the rotisserie chicken with roasted potatoes and corn on the cob. It’s pricey but so flavorful. They even have turkey legs! Which made my husband happy. They also have a kids meal if you’re traveling with the kiddos. There can be a bit of wait to get into the restaurant and then you order off the menu and the staff find you a table. There are no wait staff.
