Start saving your galleons and make sure you practice apparating, because pretty soon itâll be time to head to California to visit the newest Harry Potter park, and we now have a look at all it has to offer.
Universal Studios Hollywood has put together a video for the newest The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, set to open next spring in 2016. The video starts at Hogsmeade, where the Hogwarts Express is in the station, and the trainâs conductor offers to guide us to the âbest stops, places to feast, and even where Harry Potterâs wand chose him.â
We get to see The Three Broomsticks, where weâre told to look out for the house-elves running around, and Hogâs Head, where you might grab a glass of butterbeer. We also get to see Honeydukeâs where you can get your favorite magical candy, or the Owlâs Post, where you can send a real letter with a âgenuine Hogsmeade postmark.â Thereâs also Zonkoâs joke shop and Ollivanderâs wand shop.
From there you can head to Hogwarts itself, in all its majesty, but weâre told to make sure to stop by Hagridâs hut where we can learn âto properly greet a hippogriff.â
There are already two other Wizarding Worldâs of Harry Potter, one at Universal Orlando Resort, and another at Universal Studios Japan, but weâll gladly take a chance to experience the magical world of J.K. Rowling with that Southern California weather as the backdrop.
