Top 5 Reasons to Visit Harry Potter's Wizarding World As if Orlando and Universal Studios weren't exciting enough, fans of best-sellers and blockbusters can venture into the wizarding world of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando.
5. The dragon challenge On this thrilling roller coaster, named after the Triwizard Tournament task, you climb aboard one of two dragons that whiz through the intertwined tracks and take several close hits. When you queue up to ride the world's only inverted roller coaster, you will see many items from the world of Harry Potter, including the Triwizard Cup and the Goblet of Fire. 4. Ollivander's wand shop Cynics may see it as a gimmick to sell merchandise, but a nice touch on the attraction is the Harry Potter wand in Ollivander's wand shop, where a group of visitors can enter the shop and Ollivander finds a matching wand for the volunteers. The lucky wizard can buy the special wand from him in the gift shop. 3. Have a Butterbeer Book fans will be excited to hear that you have a chance to enjoy a butterbeer. The butterbeer at the Orlando attraction comes in the form of a caramel cream soda, served cold with ice or in a frozen
beverage. In the books, butterbeer can be served hot or cold, but makers probably thought a cold drink would be a bit better suited to the Orlando heat than the hot version. 2. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey Sure, this attraction is the highlight of any visit to the world and offers you a walking tour of Hogwarts Castle, viewing props from the movies and interacting with the characters. Then climb onto a magical bench that takes you outside the castle, where you can dodge Dementors, see the Hunting Willow, and take part in a game of Quidditch. 1. It's a Harry Potter theme park! The last reason to visit is that it is a Harry Potter theme park attraction! Certainly, there is nothing better for Potter fans than getting carried away by the world itself. A lot of time and care has been put into recreating parts of the world in the most realistic way possible and you will really feel like you are stepping into the world of Harry Potter. Nothing prevents you from visiting more than one Orlando attraction. So why not take a trip to Disney World, too? There are a host of great attractions in the area and enough to keep most families busy throughout their vacation with many other collectables and Harry Potter wands in the UK.
