Being a long time Harry Potter fan, it was exhilarating to visit the Wizarding World. Lots to see, the place is small but well built and can make any HP fan happy. You can buy butterbear, souvenirs...

This recreation is amazing. Our family enjoyed this place and the rides a lot. The Forbidden Journey ride is spectacular. It feels like you're actually in their world, and when the dragon breathes on you, there's actually hot mist. The frozen butter beer is great, but it just tastes like cream soda. My daughter loved Honeydukes candy shop. Definitely stop by here when in Universal Studios!

No Harry Potter fan will ever want to miss this place when visiting LA! It felt like living inside the movie. It was magical and worth every moment. I wasn’t kidding when I say I took a thousand pictures here. The place was fantastic so make sure to wear your best dress and bring a lot of money because there’s so much to buy!!!
