We were able to preview The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley expansion at Universal Orlando, and we’ve brought back lots of photos and videos for those who can’t wait to see inside.

Located in Universal Studios Florida, Diagon Alley features shops, dining experiences, interactive elements and new attractions. The new area doubles the size of the land already found at Islands of Adventure, expanding the themed environment across both Universal theme parks.

The event started off with the announcement that July 8, 2014 will be the official opening date for Diagon Alley:

Universal then held a red carpet premiere featuring several stars from the films and a special opening moment, followed by a nighttime look inside Diagon Alley:
