An incredible day out! Every Harry Potter fan's paradise! Make sure to go on all the rides. The ones in the castle & in gringotts are especially good.

Just unreal. No wonder the place is packed all the time. If you have any love for Harry Potter, simply mesmerizing. Do get the park-to-park though; you can't miss Diagon Alley either!

Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! The attention to detail here is unbelievable! Spend an afternoon at this part of the park. Three Broomsticks has quality/affordable food, and the Butterbeer (frozen) is amazing!

The other side of Harry Potter world. one of the best rides in existence (hagrid) and great shops. You need tickets for both parks to get the hogwarts express though, which is also fun.

The detail is absolutely amazing. Top notch and the theming is above and beyond the standard. Absolutely worth it if your in the park. Do not miss.

Great seating behind Hog's Head Tavern was out of the way of the crowd and shaded with an umbrella. One of the tables is near an outlet if you need to recharge your phone as well as your body :).
Brett GarwoodJune 15, 2015
Spend some time here, real fans will need to take it all in slowly. Very authentic and highly detailed.
Marilyne GosselinJuly 28, 2015
What's good? EVERYTHING. The restaurants, the Hungarian Horntail dragon ride, the castle, the show, the shops, the butterbeer... SIMPLY MAGICAL.
Eulo SinocJuly 30, 2012
Forget the long line.If you are a couple, go straight to the single riders line.Chances are, you'll be able to ride it together since there are 4 seats for every ride :) A MUST see for all Harry Fans
MaddyMarch 24, 2013
Pause to take in the details, they worked hard to make this place feel real. Try everything at least once, including Ollivander's and The Three Broomsticks. Be sure to see the choir too!
Julie KMarch 16, 2017
If you have younger kids, buy them a magic wand. You can go to marked locations where they can use the wand to perform "magic" tricks. My kids loved it (even my teenager!)
Dorien RSeptember 21, 2013
A wonderful place for real Potter heads! Get the frozen butter beer and the pumpkin juice. Get your postcards stamped with a hogmeade stamp outside of Dervish and Banges. Fly with Harry and have fun.
Adam DartonJuly 15, 2012
You can save loads of time at the castle ride if you're willing to split up your group and go as a single rider. You can visit the castle afterwards by doing a castle tour (which has no line).
Laur Lo SkiDecember 25, 2015
They did a fantastic job on this part of the park. Highly recommend grabbing a frozen butterbeer and checking out the little shops around the park!
Shelli LutzJune 29, 2017
The best frelling place in the US. Siriusly, it defies description. First time I saw the castle - buckets of tears. It's like coming home. Yes, I'm a Potter geek, and this place is <3
Miriam GoldmanJuly 26, 2015
Amazing place to check out if you love Harry Potter. Important to note that the Hogwarts Express ride is different depending on which way you're going.
Diane BFebruary 14, 2015
Totally lived up to all my expectations! The only drawback is you can't ride the Hogwarts Express or even go inside the station without a parkhopper ticket. Everything else was bloody brilliant!
Jonathon NormanJuly 19, 2011
Forbidden Journey is worth the price of admission. My wife and I LOVED it!! My 6 year old and 9 year old LOVED it!! And make sure you try the butter beer. We took home butter beer mugs as souvenir
Hanan MalAugust 29, 2015
Truly an unforgettable experience! Get a wand and got through the magic spells throughout the area worth it for little and big kids alike 😍
Basmah DkDecember 1, 2014
You can buy 2 type of wands (regular and interactive )There are many spills in front of each shop you can try your wand on . And try to buy the want from the gift shop at the beginning of advent land
Kyle TMarch 6, 2013
Get here early or late to avoid the Potter crazed crowds. The decorations and landscape is amazing! You'll feel like your really there, (just with a thousand other people)!
Alex SchrameyerMarch 6, 2015
Between the Hogwarts Express, Forbidden Journey, and Butter Beer there's plenty to see and do. Come early and again in the evening to beat the queue
Nate StonecipherJanuary 7, 2016
Dont eat here! You can get the same food as the Three Broomsticks in Jurassic World just around the corner, but with more for a lower price. The butterbeer in HPW is worth it though!
Dwayne KilbourneApril 13, 2013
This is a Harry Potter fan's dream world... and still pretty cool for those (like me) who are not the biggest HP fans!
Dawn & Merrisa D.November 30, 2014
The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, in one word, is amazing! Not just great architectural design await you, but also great food and attractions!

Hog's Head Bar is a MUCH SHORTER LINE for Butterbeer than outside at the cart. It's also much colder and AIR CONDITIONED INSIDE!
Madeline RamosFebruary 4, 2016
I love the new additions to Harry Potter world. Butter beer is a must. Go to Diagon Alley. Take the Hogwarts express, to and from. Unbelievable! Makes me feel like I'm the movie.
Megan BurkeMay 26, 2013
If the line is long and you don't mind missing walking through "Hogwarts" go through the single rider line. It cut a 80 minute wait down to 15 from start to walking out the gift shop.
Mitty ChangAugust 14, 2014
Go on the Hogwarts ride experience, and then don't forget to take the Hogwarts Express over to Diagon Alley when you're ready! Much more to see there. (You will need a park hopper ticket)
Alan BruceJanuary 30, 2016
Best part of the parks! Make sure to get the butter beer all three ways and to get a wand and explore the secrets!
Doug McCulloughFebruary 16, 2016
Everything. One of the best area I have even seen. Bank ride is awesome.
Brandon SargentJanuary 6, 2012
Get the early park admission passes. The line for Forbidden Journey is normally like 2 hours but if you get the early admittance you can get in in ten minutes. Worth every penny.
Kinan WirastaniFebruary 23, 2013
Get some frozen Butterbeer, Chocolate Frogs, and a collectible or two of your favorite house. Don't forget to ride all of the attractions, they were EPIC!
Wesley JonesSeptember 2, 2011
The butterbeer is nasty. Skip the outdoor roller coaster and focus on the hogwarts castle. The scenery and ride are pretty amazing. Breakfast at the local tavern was actually pretty good as well.
Basmah DkDecember 1, 2014
Buy the wands from the gift shop at the beginning of adventure land . They present them all so you can pick the shape you like.
MyraApril 8, 2015
There's an outlet to recharge your phone or electric chair/vehicle on the side of the half wall facing the Sirius Black wanted sign (between Hog's Head and Three Broomsticks).
Bahama BreezeJuly 26, 2013
There are tons of gift shops and restaurants so you can get the full experience. Keep an eye out for the tiny details that really make it seem like Hogwarts.
SiobhánFebruary 18, 2018
Diagon Alley had more overall going for it but Hogsmeade is much more spread out from the village down below all the way up to Hogwarts at the top.
Nathanael SheltonMay 6, 2012
If you get a ButterBeer (which you absolutely must!)... DO NOT USE A STRAW!!! You will lose all of the Wonderful Foamy Deliciousness!!! :) Have a magical day!
Ashley ButterworthJune 20, 2012
Loved Hogsmeade! Less crowded between 7-9 p.m. especially in Honeyduke's. Also, the Hog's Head has a very short line for frozen Butterbeer or Pumpkin Fizz.
Ellen DeGeneresSeptember 8, 2010
I got a sneak peek of this wizarding world before anyone else and I brought along a couple of knowledgeable friends. Now you can step into the shoes of Harry! - Ellen Read more
Madeleine HogueNovember 24, 2015
You deff have to try the frozen Butter Beer and the pumpkin juice. Both are super tasty and amazing.
Shaundra RothMarch 14, 2012
Totally predictable for a pit stop, but trust me on this!! Everyone should visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter once in their life! ButterBeer is out of this world
Emily CunniffMay 6, 2013
The happiest place on earth ! The line for the ride gets long quickly but it doesn't feel like it because of the magic that is Hogwarts <3 oh, and butter beer !!! <3
Petra MervartováOctober 20, 2015
Perfect! Dragon Challenge and Hogwarts are top! I love this so much I want to live here hehe
Marilei DenilaJanuary 19, 2011
The frozen butterbeer is better than the cold, both still great! Closer to park closing is when the lines are shortest. Go to Finch's Emporium in the back for souvenirs first, will save you time.
Kyra KilianJuly 25, 2019
It’s amazing what they have done. Just walking around you feel like you are in a whole new world.
Alicia ProfettoSeptember 1, 2010
at first glance when you enter, your jaw drops! the place is gorgeous and the detail they put into making the stores is awesome! the food there is okay, right now the lines are long to get into stores
