The newest addition to Universal Orlando Resort’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Diagon Alley features Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringott’s, which makes riders feel as though they’re literally in a “Harry Potter” film. It also features Hogwart’s Express, which transports passengers between London (Universal Studios) and Hogsmeade (Islands of Adventure). Expect extremely long lines for both rides; wait times began at six hours for the July, 2014 opening of Diagon Alley.
Diagon Alley also offers several shops, including Ollivander’s (also found at Islands of Adventure), along with dining options, notably The Leaky Cauldron, where traditional British fare and everyone’s favorite drink, Butterbeer, can be had.
