Can you do Universal and Harry Potter in one day?

What You'll Need. First, you'll need to know that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter encompasses two parks (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure), so the first thing you'll need is a 2-park 1-day ticket. That will cost you around $164 per adult and $159 per child.
