The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a fantastical theme park that immerses visitors into the beloved wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. This magical destination is located within the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida and is split between two main areas: Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.


Hogsmeade is based on the quaint, snow-covered village from the Harry Potter books and movies. It is located in Universal's Islands of Adventure and features a replica of Hogwarts Castle, complete with the thrilling ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. The village of Hogsmeade is also home to a variety of shops, including Honeydukes, where you can find sweet treats like chocolate frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, and Zonko's Joke Shop, which sells magical pranks and gags.


One of the most exciting characteristics of The Wizarding World is the interactive wands that guests can purchase. These wands are modeled after the wands used by characters in the Harry Potter books and movies. Foodies will also be delighted by the many dining options available at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, from traditional British fare at the Leaky Cauldron to the iconic Butterbeer. This park truly transports visitors to a world of witchcraft and wizardry like no other.
