Program Overview

Universal Orlando is a theme park that
allows its visitors to go behind the scenes
and wander around some of their favorite
movies and television shows in a unique
and entertaining way.
One of the main attractions at Universal
Orlando is the Wizarding World of Harry
Potter. Universal Orlando has replicated
the extraordinary magical details of the
Harry Potter movies and brought these
beloved stories to life. Visitors will get
to see many iconic Harry Potter features
such as the Hogwarts castle, Honeydukes,
Ollivanders, and more as they stroll
through the theme park.
The park is split into two different sections, Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. Be
sure to purchase a park-to-park ticket so
you can board the infamous Hogwarts
Express to easily transport yourself
between the two.
