    It was a lot of fun, and the Forbidden Journey ride was amazing. BUT, you REALLY need to be into Harry Potter to get a lot out of the rest of the place. Worth going once.

    Grab a Butterbeer and walk through the shops. It's all part of the experience. Best themed land!

    Go later in the day to avoid the crowd (most kids leave earlier), definitely do the ride but the one outdoors is not as worth it. Also, the butter beer is amazing! You can't go wrong with either.

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk in you're truly transported from the cobblestone ground to the houses to Hogwart's castle, it's super fun!

    Frozen Butterbeer is the best! The best ride at Universal@is located inside Hogwarts. Just don't get on with a full belly. #motionsickness

    The lines are to be expected for the rides and the crowds in the shops but the lines for the food, when there was space inside and outside where it was raining there were five people in line were dumb

    Wand yourself about and see what magic you have! Eat at Three Broomsticks but EAT after rides or chill out before getting on rides.

    Its like walking into the movie , there are live musical skits in the open air stage . Once you purchase a wand , stand outside the shop fronts and work the magic !

    Imo, the "magic" wands aren't worth the price difference. They really don't do much, at one station a measuring tape either ascends or descends. Maybe I need more magic in my life to appreciate it lol

    A delightful place that does an amazing job of capturing the imaginations of wizards, both young and old.

    If you're heavy (I'd say 250 lbs and up) you won't be able to ride anything in Harry Potter world

    So awesole! You have to try a Butter Beer. And you might as well shop at all the shops! Be prepared to spend a lot of money.

    Buy your wand at any of the outdoor stands or wait in line for the full demo at Ollivanders. The interactive wand is so/so.
