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!).
What is the best time to visit the Harry Potter™ Studio? A. The best time to visit the Harry Potter™ Studio, in London, is on a weekday. It is also recommended to take the tours between November and March.
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.
Hogwarts™ Castle WalkYou 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! *Please ask crew members about the operation hours.
Studio Tour staff will advise visitors who have missed their Allocated Entry Time of the next available time slot but at busy times it may not be possible to find a time on the same day in which case it will be necessary to re-book an Allocated Entry Time.

The Harry Potter Film Locations in the City tour starts just outside exit 3 of Bank Tube Station (by the war memorial in front of the Royal Exchange). Meet the London Walks tour guide there.
This outdoor light trail, inspired by the iconic Forbidden Forest, will have you reliving some of your favorite moments as you explore after dark the sounds, lights, and special effects that bring the wizarding world to life. How long is the experience? Your adventure will likely last 60-90 mins.

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.
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.
It's incredibly convenient to travel on the Hogwarts Express between parks and it gives you way more flexibility if the weather throws a wrench in your itinerary. Either way though, you're going to need 2 days to see both areas of Harry Potter World.
Although access to the Butterbeer Bar is free with a ticket to the exhibition, buying Butterbeer here is most definitely an additional cost of your ticket. The Butterbeer Bar in London charges £6.95 for a Butterbeer but this does include a FREE plastic Butterbeer Tankard which you can take home with you as a souvenir!
