“Can I tour the castle without going in the Forbidden Journey ride?” Absolutely yes. We have walked on the non- rider path through Hogwarts several times. It is a slightly different path that takes you a bit deeper into the castle and up a staircase with talking paintings that is not normally seen on the ride path.

You can walk through Hogwarts™ castle without riding the ride attraction. Fully enjoy the world of Harry Potter™ including “Moving Portrait Corridor” and “The Portrait of the Fat Lady” like Harry Potter™ and his friends did!

It's completely possible to do with a one day park-to-park ticket. I've done it twice now, once with an Express Unlimited Pass and once without. I'm absolutely enchanted with the book series, so when I'm visiting Universal Orlando, this is where I prefer to spend the majority of my time.

Best Attractions at Universal Harry Potter Right off the bat, Islands of Adventure has an advantage because it has 4 rides instead of just 2. Plus, while I'd say the experience is better coming from Diagon Alley, you can ride The Hogwarts Express on either side.

MORE DETAILS

Travel between both lands of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™: Diagon Alley™ in Universal Studios Florida and Hogsmeade™ in Universal's Islands of Adventure. This attraction accepts Universal Express Pass. Additional restrictions apply.

Starting in either park guarantees you a great day — obviously, you're at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you really can't go wrong — but we recommend starting at Hogsmeade, catching the train over to Diagon Alley mid-day, and then coming back to Hogsmeade to finish the night.

Another popular question we receive, is how many days should I plan at Harry Potter World? And as you can imagine there are so many amazing things to do in each section, you should give yourself at least two days to experience everything the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to offer.

MORE DETAILS

The recommended time to complete the entire tour is 3-4 hours. However, if you are a hardcore fan, you might want to stick around for at least 5 - 6 hours for a more in-depth look at the Harry Potter universe.

If you have just one day at the Universal Orlando Resort, we have good news: Doing both parks in one day is possible. You'll need to get up early and stay up late, but it can be done. Let's go over some tips on how to make this happen.

Yes, it is possible to see both Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in one day. You will need a one-day two-park ticket to experience all that the Wizarding World has to offer, since Diagon Alley is located in Universal Studios and Hogsmeade is located in Islands of Adventure.

MORE DETAILS

The experience includes a flight around Hogwarts castle, an encounter with the Whomping Willow and a horde of Dementors, and a Quidditch match. The ride drops, spins around, twists and turns, but does not turn upside down, though passengers sometimes lie flat on their backs.

MORE DETAILS

Featuring Dementors, a fire-breathing dragon, and giant, animatronic spiders, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey may be a bit scary for people who don't like being spooked. If you're someone who hates roller coasters, rest assured there are no big drops, although there are some twists and turns.

MORE DETAILS

The main reason is this is the only way to make sure you see absolutely everything that the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has to offer. The other main reason we think the Hogwarts Express is worth it is that it's a convenient way to travel between the two parks and you can enjoy a different experience both ways.
