Absolutely amazing. I don't care what the wait is it is worth it. We had a 1hr wait it was worth it and the line constantly moved. This experience is almost indescribable. Make sure if you go don't skip this one. I've never seen any of the Harry Potter movies and it was still wonderful and made me want to see them.

Love that place. Get in single line if you can. Pay attention to red carpet with unicorn on the wall, it will be on the left side of you right after a portrait with an Fat Lady ❤️. So authentic and beautiful. Love sounds in the castle when you wait in the line for your turn to ride

Incredible artistry and experience throughout this iconic structure. The walkthrough was well worth any wait and it was fun to see the moving pictures, and see Ron cause a snowstorm in the Defense of the Dark Arts class. As for the ride specifically the story is very lackluster. It feels like they shoved literally everything they could into this short ride. Ride gets a 1 star, but everything else was incredible!

I wish you could tour the castle because there were so many cool rooms that I passed through too quickly because the line was moving too fast. What a great complaint to have! lol

Always impressed, excellent infrastructure, meticulous and realistic decoration… if you are a Potterhead, trust me you will love this attraction

💫 Nothing Short of Magical 💫 While the inside is *even more* breath-taking than the outside, the Hogwarts Castle is an absolute must-see during any visit to the Orlando theme parks. A combination of scale and clever perception tricks make it look simply massive as it towers overhead and you enter through its iconic gates, guarded by winged boars. At night, the castle transforms into a see-it-to-believe-it projection show display of lights and sounds. The show changes a bit, depending on the season (Christmas has its own spectacular), but all of them are worth seeing. All four Houses get represented on the castle, and the dark sky alights with lasers as the face of the castle transforms into flitting, familiar shapes.

Amazing area to explore. One of my favorite. Attention to details is outstanding. You actually feel like you are stepping inside the movies. Just wonderful. One the most popular areas in the park so is always busy here. Well worth it. The ride inside the castle is pretty good and original as well.

This was really good, it is an interactive video ride, it is really intense in places. I feel like docking it a star, but I also feel that’s unfair, only because it gave me major motion sickness, like no other ride in the park. Am I just getting to old for these things or is just a bit to visual, if there are lots of other reviews saying the same then if you get even the slightest motion sickness and I am not a big sufferer maybe just give it a miss.

It's a great ride as long as you are not prone to motion sickness. The visuals are amazing and the feel of flying is fun. As a bonus, the castle is cool and visuals from the movie are everywhere.

Going into Universal the first thing I wanted to check out during my vacation was Hogwarts Castle. After seeing the movies and booking tickets with my GF I have to say the experience was not a let down. The ride inside of it isn't as thrilling or fast as Hagrids side car ride, but what it lacks in speed it makes up for in character. Every part of waiting on the line was filled with a highly detailed experience the whole way through the line. The wait time flew by because of this! Went around 10 am and the wait on a Monday was only around 15 minutes.

What a amazing ride. Waited roughly 20 minutes but it was well worth it

I have been a wizard from the first moment I read the first book, now 20 years or so ago. Coming to universal for the first time, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Overall I’m not impressed with universal I am however blown away by the recreation of hogwarts. They did hogwarts justice and they did Harry Potter justice. The experience was magic I’m so many ways. A must visit. A butter bear is also a must experience. It tastes sweet like butter scotch with a foam on top. Try the frosted version to balance the Florida heat.

Harry potter ride is so much fun. It is not a roller coaster 3d moving ride. It moves up and down side to side. So much fun. Perfect ride for those that dislike coasters.

Wow! Amazing to see! The castle and area makes you feel as if you are actually in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

A great sight to see. It resembles that of the movie extremely well. They did a great job in the design. It's always a great time grabbing a butterbeer and just stopping and looking at it. Go on the ride itself and experience the inside of the castle. It truly is a must see even if you aren't a Harry Potter fan.

grand and beautiful! i wish there was more to explore but the facade is gorgeous!

The best ride I’ve ever done. First time was in 2019 in LosAngeles, enjoyed it that time and this time in Orlando, truly enjoyed it again. Having said that, I’m not a Harry Potter fan or even interested in the story more than anything regular in my life but the reason I loved the ride was the quality of the animations, moves, reality of the pictures, 4th dimension effects and all those tricks which makes a ride as enjoyable as possible. Also the design of the castle 🏰 itself is amazing both inside and outside, which the ride takes place. Everything was nicely designed depicting everything in Harry Potter books and movies with a great craftsmanship.

Amazing experience!! It was magical to watch the light show on the outside of the castle! As you walk through the inside, every twist and turn there is more interaction, which makes the line go by so fast! We really enjoyed this at the park!

Best area of the park and best experienced at night!

I very wonderful site to see the movie come alive just wish I could of gone up into the top.

Great to shoot from the outside and far away 😂 the crowds just get a little too rowdy around there. It's almost impossible to walk through at times. I will say it's a beautiful castle and that Universal spared no expense with Harry Potter World. There is a feeling of just authenticity. I think that any fan would obviously love to check it out, even if you don't make it on the ride.

Still one of the best rides in the park and with lower wait times these days too! Just really good fun, great line entertainment, they really did a good job here! They changed the video to a more high def version one which was the right thing to do as it was originally the only real let down.

Absolutely amazing! Very pricey to go from one park to another to get the experience and if you want the express pass to the rides the price was ridiculous! It's why I give it 4 star.
