The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley now officially open at Universal Orlando

The day that witches, wizards and muggles around the world have been waiting for has arrived.

This morning, Universal Orlando Resort officially opened The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida. Confetti, fireworks and a red carpet lined with dozens of cheering Diagon Alley team members welcomed thousands of excited guests as they entered the all-new land for the very first time.

Diagon Alley brings even more of Harry Potter’s adventures to life at Universal Orlando Resort. This fully-immersive area expands upon the global phenomenon launched by Universal Orlando when it opened The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure in 2010.

You may choose to arrive aboard the Hogwarts Express, which takes guests on a journey between the two lands of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and be transported into a highly-themed environment. The new area includes shops with windows full of magical surprises, authentic food and beverages, a towering dragon that breathes fire and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, a new attraction thrill ride through the Gringotts vaults.

We have over a dozen videos from inside Diagon Alley available to watch in our playlist below:
