The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade 6000 Universal Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32819

"Such a magical place. However, I do prefer Diagon Alley a little more over Hogsmeade. There's more shade. Hagrid's ride is also really hard to get on."

"I am not a typical Harry Potter fan. I have never known about Harry potter until now & I enjoyed the wizard world in universal. The scenery was beautiful! I feel it's worth the stop if your visiting the park for the day. I had so much fun. I also never knew about butter beer & since I tried one I needed more! They are so good. I missed out on a lot to never want to get into the Harry Potter spirit. I went & visited the store & purchased two Harry wands. Your able to use the wands through the wizard world & do some magic!! They do work. If you purchase one make sure to save your receipt cause if something happens to it your able to get it replaced The work at all the parks that have the Harry world in them. The rides are sooo fun!! You must ride them all. It's a great time being there & something interesting to see if you've never got into Harry potter. You don't gotta be a total fan to have some fun! Just check it out & you'll he happy you did."

"This was our first time to Universal Studios and we had a great time. We actually preferred this park to Disney. It was clean, well laid out, and there were some actual normal stores - not all themed. We didn't realize when planning you needed an upgrade to visit the other parks, so we stayed at the main Universal Park, which didn't give us access to the Hogsmeade part of HarrY Potter or the train. We also didn't get to go on the Jurassic coaster, which was a bummer. We loved the Jimmy Fallon ride, Gringott's Bank ride, and the Bourne Stunt Spectacular can't be missed. It blew us away and I hate to say it, but I enjoyed it a lot more than the Indiana Jones Stunt Show at Disney. My son loved the Rip Rocket Coaster. The bad: most of the rides are motion cars while you watch a 3-D screen and have to wear glasses, which get annoying. A few of the rides look terrible and need new video, especially The Simpsons ride. The transformers ride is cool, but the screen again seems blurry and not very crisp. The Men in Black ride is a fun shoot aliens with a laser gun type ride. With such a big lake in the middle of the park they need a Jaws ride or attraction! Overall we recommend this park, but get the multipark ticket for two days (unless you want the waterpark- then do 3) and get the lightning pass. We did the one where you can jump the line once for every ride, but you can pay even more to do it as much as you want."

"Hogwarts was amazing. For $60 you can buy a wand and roam the area with a map to cast spells to interact with your surroundings. Brilliant! The attention to detail really made you feel like you were in Hogwarts. The downside was the part was way over sold, and you had to swim through a sea of people to get anywhere. 2 hours minimum wait on every ride. The sidecar ride (a major attraction) broke down after waiting in line for an hour. So, for the price of admission, we only got to ride a few rides. Was it worth the ticket price? No... I still gave them 5 stars as what we got to enjoy was amazing. Try to go when it's less crowded. Good luck!"

"I'm writing this as someone who has never seen the films, or read the books. This place was packed but it was moving very well. Butterbeer is very good and the food here was best in the park. Lots for the kids to see and do and the train ride over was very well done. Very nice attraction and I hope they continue to build on it. Very well set up. Nicely done. As I write this review Audible begins Book 1 The Sorcerer's stone."
