Yes you can walk through without riding. There is so much to see and do in both parks for Harry Potter.

The typical family of four seeking to see all the best of the Wizarding World should budget, in addition to their Walt Disney World budget, around $750 for two days of Universal Orlando park to park tickets. (Skipping one ride, the Hogwarts Express, will let you save about $40/person by getting single park tickets.)
