The ABSOLUTE GUIDE To The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando

[@ChrissaTravels]

Hello everyone! *CORRECTION* on the interactive wand locations, there are 9 in Hogsmeade and 16 in Diagon Alley. I accidentally counted the shops and restaurants on my map when creating this video *faceplam*. I’m so sorry for the confusion! If you’re going to be spending more time at Universal, then you’ll want to check out my absolute guides to Universal starting at Islands of Adventure that you can find here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6DUgJJqmdajmM0

Awesome video ...my brother has been a couple times and is trying 2 move to Florida so I May be able 2 finally get 2 go. Super excited

[@MsAppassionata]

Thanks for the tour! I’m an elderly, disabled person, but I love the Harry Potter books. I’ll probably never get to visit this location in person, so I just wanted to express my gratitude. ✋🏽✌🏽👍🏽🫵🏽

[@glo6445]

Even though I have visited 15 times, moved to Florida for work but amazingly to be closer to The Wizarding World, I have learned so much from you. ❤

[@ChrissaTravels]

Aw, I can’t tell you how happy your comment made me! As a fellow Harry Potter fan, I wanted to make sure I did this to the best of my ability for you!

My wife & I went when the 1st Harry Potter section opened, absolutely loved it. We’re going back next week for our 50th Wedding Anniversary to see the newest Harry Potter park. Your video was enlightening and informative. TY

The best Harry Potter tour I have seen yet.

[@ChrissaTravels]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.

[@th3emeparkmom856]

My husband and I are taking our son in October 2024 I can't wait I've been but it could never be as magical as seeing my little Potter Head see it for the first time. Watching this helped me plan what we will do on our next trip.

[@youllneverknowmyname]

It is so fun and honestly feels much different compared to videos of it! I’ve been a couple times and it was the best experience ever! I hope you have so much fun! So exciting!

[@TaroZak]

How was it? Going this December and am so excited :)

[@BrandonIslander]

This is hands down one of the best video tours of The Wizarding World! Thank you! We are bringing our 2 sons who have watched all the movies and are visiting for their 1st time. Me and my wife went opening year, but now this section of Universal has grown so much and we can't wait to visit this month!

Aw! Thank you so much! ☺️ Im so happy you enjoyed this. I hope you have a magical visit while you’re here!

Great tips for the area. Really helpful. Just 2:23 isn’t actually a statue of Gryffindor. It’s the castles architect. Just an interesting fact that I thought to ping out.

I have been there a couple times but I’m so addicted to videos like these! I’m always learning more and I swear I’ll never stop learning new things about universal. I’m so excited that they are adding more onto the Harry Potter area! I might just have to go back when it is open!

[@turkishdelight6032]

I'm not even a Harry Potter fan, but I like well-done attractions and amusement parks. Your narration has a great storytelling element to it and made the entire video extremely enjoyable!

[@tillycomedy2194]

incredible video. I want to visit all the Harry Potter theme parks in the world, I hope they build more!

[@TexasPoliticsChannel]

Wow!!! Chrissa, that was an amazing video!!! I didn't realize there was that much to do there. I've read the books and watched the movies and I'd heard about the theme park and even saw some video but, figured it was just a kids thing with maybe a few kiddy rides. Man, after watching that video I want to go there! I know that video took a lot of work but, it was AMAZING!!!

[@ChrissaTravels]

You are too kind! 🥰 Thank you so much!! There are so many little details and so much thought that went behind creating this world. It was a lot of work, but I wanted to make a guide so that anyone who visits doesn’t miss a thing while they’re there. It makes me so happy you enjoyed it! 💛

Your video is amazing I've dreamed with you. ❤️I really don't understand why they don't open the same HP Park in England too, in Europe. HP is english and It would be a chance for all people in EU to see this amazing thing. USA is far and expensive, I mean... it's complicated for us to organize a trip like this 😣 .

[@lindabilobran899]

Hey Chrissa, I really enjoyed your presentation. I am hoping to take my husband and ten children, and grandchildren but I have no clue how to get started. Anyway that isn't the main reason I am reaching out. Yours is the third report I have watched today. No one ever mentions the issues a person with a disability can thoroughly enjoy Not only the wizar ing world but the entire experience!!! I myself am in a wheelchair. My husband and I haven't been to Universal Studios. for almost 47 years for our honeymoon. Some members of our family have never been then. I do not want to ruin the experience for anyone. So if there is anything to share I would truly appreciate it. Thank you in advance, Linda

[@ChrissaTravels]

Hi Linda! How exciting to hear about your upcoming trip. Universal is very accommodating to anyone with a disability. You should be able to fit your wheelchair through all of the ride queues and transfer into the ride vehicle on your own, or with the assistance of someone in your party. If you have any specific questions, Universal has an entire section of their website dedicated to accessibility. You can find it here: www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/plan-your-visit/accessibility-information I hope that helps!

We’re just waiting for minions land to open up before we finish it. So, it’ll be released soon after the minions area is done! I do have an older version of the absolute guide that goes over SeaWorld, but I have to admit it does need updating and does not go as much in depths as these do!

It's by no means official but a theory i have is diagon alley looks a lot like the shambles in york uk i am not sure if jk Rowling went or was just inspired by it but it's uncanny the area realised this to because of the sheer amount of wizarding shops
