The Wizarding World of Harry Potter first opened in 2010 with Hogsmeade, which marks the moment Universal Orlando Resort brought the wonder, excitement and adventure of Harry Potter to life for the first time. The expansion of the global phenomenon continued in 2014 with the launch of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida, which allowed guests to experience even more extraordinary moments from Harry Potter’s ever-expanding world of magic and butterbeer.
As an added bonus, the Hogwarts Express connects both of the attractions, providing guests the opportunity to board the iconic train and relive Harry’s unforgettable journey. In doing so, Universal Orlando has created the world’s first centrally themed, multi-park experience.
