The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, Universal City CA

Love this world. The staff. The wand stops that you can do to and use your wand. The biggest thing I enjoy is.the food.omg it is amazing.

I haven't been a massive fan, but it's very impressive to walk around here and immerse yourself in Harry's world. I just took some photos of my favorite aspects. The ride inside the castle is immersive, but can make you feel bad if you don't like a lot of motion, so keep that in mind (or just close your eyes while you're on it - like I did). The outdoor roller coaster is fun, but not worth waiting a long time for.

Loved being able to walk around and get a wand that interacts with the town. Overall, this was yet another place to buy Harry Potter themed merchandise that you can get at any other universal store, just with a better atmosphere.

This place is epic! Comparable only to disney. The realism is unbelievable and you can truly get a Harry Potter experience. May I suggest starting at Ollivanders wand shop buy the interactive wands hopefully you get chosen as wand lore is explained. Once you have your wand wonder through the interactive shops and cast spells to reveal secrets throughout Hogsmead. If rides are your thing que up early and make sure you go through the halls slowly to enjoy the stories told by Dumbledor, the paintings and various other interactive sections. After going through once the single line is pretty quick. Unless you have small kiddos you can probably skip the hippogryph ride as it is very short and not overly thrilling.perchance the line is under 10 min go for it.
The shopping in the stores gets repetitive and if you find something in a larger size that fits I suggest not waiting. I also found there was a better selection of Harry Potter gear in the Universal store. As for food who doesn't want a cup of butterbeer? It comes two ways in slush form in a throw away cup, or in its original form in a plastic keepsake cup. If cosplay or dressing up for the adventure is for you by all means feel comfortable it is very common. My last bit of advice as always.be respectful to others, pick up after yourself and Enjoy!

Good luck getting a beer.you can only get one at a time yet the line is 45+ minutes long.the ride (s?) was/were ok at best (can't remember if there was one or two; either way not memorable), although i know nothing about harry the potter.would definitely NOT go back.waste of time, waste of money, waste of stress, and FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE.wish i knew all of this beforehand, but what do ya do except try out the experience.not a good one, unless you like super annoying kids everywhere and 3+ hour ride lines.i know that's not my definition of a good time.especially if i can't get enough beer to deal with it all.hope it's changed to a different ride/ land if i ever go back.thus far, not likely.

A very magical place in Universal Studios, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Awesome rides and stores lots of merchandise and dont forget to try the butter beer (non alcoholic) cold or frozen (frozen is better in my opinion)

I loved the wand activated secret spots in The Wizarding World and I was pleasantly surprised when I found the animatronic owls in Hogsmeade.

Fun place. Decorated really well. Both rides were fun and if you go during the week, there isn't a long wait. Tried the butter beer but it's very sweet. Wouldn't get that again.

The visual details are fantastic. The food is great. The wand stuff is gimmicky and a bit difficult to use. The main attraction, The Forbidden Journey, broke down in the middle of my ride which was unfortunate. The second attraction, Flight of the Hippogriff, was surprisingly short, but very pleasant. Go in, look around, grab some butter beer (the Three Broomsticks restaurant isn't too bad, either), and explore the rest of the park, and maybe ride the rides if they have low wait times. Don't expect to spend a full day here; treat it just as you would any other area of the park.

2 rides and a few shops to visit. As you enter the wizarding world you can see yourself whisk away. A must visit to potter heads.

The place is nice but the Harry Potter ride is bad. Lots of tossing and turning upside down and sudden movements. The ride leaves you feeling sick to your stomach and with a headache

I went into the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" not knowing anything about the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter". I came into a "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" paradise! There were "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" rides! Their were "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" wands! They're were "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" merchandise! Overall, in the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter", I felt IMMERSED, in the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter"! I will definitely be going again to the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter", and spending a lot of time in the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter"! I recommend, and I mean recommend, recommend, recommend, recommend recommend recommend, and I can't say this enough (recommend).

This part of the Universal Studios park was great! The detail and attention on the buildings was very impressive. It felt like being a part of the wizarding world. Just be aware that things are VERY expensive here if you want any extras though. They don't force you to buy anything though, so nickeling and diming is actually minimal (for an amusement park). I would recommend the ride in the castle. The wait can be somewhat long, but they have things for you to look at during your wait.

Expectations are high when visiting the Wizarding World, and it does not disappoint. From the snow capped roofs to the bubbling bathrooms, the atmosphere here is perfect. Nothing beats a cool cup of Butterbeer while browsing Ollivander's Wand Shop. Universal knew what they were doing when they built this addition.

The Forbidden Journey is the premiere ride here, and really the only one you should spend any time waiting in line for.
