For the first time ever, muggles are allowed to board the famous Hogwarts Express. Guests will travel on the iconic steam engine through the urban outskirts of London to the charming village of Hogsmeade, in Universal’s Islands of Adventure. This train journey connects the two locations in the two theme parks.
- It really brought the books and movies to life.
- I was amazed how in depth this ride was. From the startling views of the London Underground and Station 9 ¾ to your arrival at Hogwarts (and vice versa) to the open fog filled fields of England you can see it all.
- This was such a magical ride, and a fun way to get back and forth between the two parks.
Tips & Facts
- The Hogwarts Express takes you on two very different journeys, so this is one ride that you’ll definitely want to board twice.
- You must have a two-park ticket to ride The Hogwarts Express. This is because the train travels to Hogsmeade in Universal’s Islands of Adventure. There are ticket booths to upgrade your one-park pass at the station entrance if you need to.
