Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogsmeade, has been wildly successful at Universal’s Islands of Adventure and is the only place in the world where the wonder and excitement of the Harry Potter books come to life! Set to open this summer is the highly anticipated second part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Diagon Alley located at Universal Studios. In anticipation and excitement for the opening of Diagon Alley I am going to post articles for the next few weeks highlighting Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s past, present, and future. Immerse yourself in the fun and mystery of Wizardry and read on to see how Universal Orland Resort has brought Harry Potter from the pages of fiction to reality.
More than five years in the making, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogsmeade was one of the most highly anticipated entertainment experiences ever created. Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s compelling stories and characters, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter features multiple themed attractions, shops and a restaurant – all faithful to the books and films.
The heart of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogsmeade is Hogwarts castle – visible from everywhere within Islands of Adventure. Inside the castle is what may be the most exhilarating theme park attraction ever created: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, guests are completely immersed in this experience. The ride takes guests on a journey where they soar over Hogwarts, narrowly escape a dragon attack, have a close encounter with the Whomping Willow, get pulled into a Quidditch match and more.
Visitors to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogsmeade are swept into the adventure. They can tour Hogwarts castle, shop in Hogsmeade and dine in the Three Broomsticks. Other adventures allow them to fly with Harry, ride on a dragon, sample Butterbeer, eat exploding sweets – and experience all the magic and adventure of the Harry Potter books and films. Visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter leaves you feeling like you are in the movies or on the pages with Harry and his friends.
