Can you meet Harry Potter characters at Universal?

You'll never see Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, or Albus Dumbledore walking around The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but there are opportunities to meet other Wizarding World characters. For example, you can meet the performers of the Frog Choir or Triwizard Spirit Rally after a show.
