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.

Whatever time of year you go, remember that crowds wax on the weekends and wane mid-week. The time of day also matters, with crowds reaching their peak at the hottest time of the day, about noon to 3 p.m. (so, there are two good reasons to take a break at this time). The resort is quietest first thing in the morning.

keep in mind, they are part if 2 large theme parks that are connected at the back by the Hogwarts Express. the Universal parks offer many fun rides & experiences... so if you want enough time to ride every ride in both parks, 2 days is sufficient, 3 days is good to give you wiggle room to revisit favorite rides.

For Harry Potter fans, yes it is worth it. For younger children, no it probably isn't. It is a lot of money but you can spend an entire day there if you want which makes it seem more reasonable. We hope you found our review of the Harry Potter Studio Tour helpful.

Felt like we were definitely in wizarding world. If you want to see all of Harry Potter at Universal, you'll need to buy tickets for both parks (and that's the only way to ride the Hogwarts Express). Makes it very expensive, but we felt it was worth it after having enjoyed it. Absolutely awesome!

Things to consider: There is A LOT of walking around. We were there for just over SIX HOURS, and most of that was walking. There is a fair amount of queuing as well (see tip two!).

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios Hollywood is great for a concise getaway, but ultimately, nothing beats Universal Orlando when it comes to the full magical experience. Those looking to enjoy the best of all the flavor, fun, and attractions will want to head to Orlando to find it.

Keep in mind that we strongly recommend to plan on going first thing in the morning and again late in the evening; The Wizarding World of Harry Potter lights up at night, and it's spectacular. (If you'd like to see more pictures of the Wizarding World at night, check out the photo gallery below!)

Plus, that one day would be extremely rushed, and it's better to have that extra day to take more things in. I found that two days was the perfect amount of time to see everything in the Wizarding World, explore other Universal lands, and go on plenty of rides.

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.
