Must Do's For Harry Potter Fans at Universal

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is an incredible experience for all, but holds a special place in the hearts of Harry Potter fans of all ages. 

The amount of detail and immersive surroundings will have you feeling like you stepped into another world and there can be so much to take in, so where to begin? Of course attractions, shopping and snacks abound, but what are those things that will truly make you feel like you are in the Wizarding World? We've picked our top must-do activities.

Entrance to Hogwarts/Forbidden Journey 

View from the Jurassic Park area 

Dine at The Three Broomsticks, Leaky Cauldron, Café L'air de la Siren, & Le Gobelet Noir

All 4 are quick service locations serving up delicious food in immersive Wizarding World environments. You can round out your meal with several specialty beverage (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) as well. Because these locations are often very busy, dining is really the best way to see the details inside. Honorable mention: next door to the Three Broomsticks is the Hogs Head, with a specialty beer you can only purchase there and is entirely worth a stop for the adults in your travel party!
