Wizarding fans and Potterheads unite! Hogwarts is a lot closer than you think when you visit Hollywood Studios! We love being fully immersed in this land that was only in our imagination as children, and it has now been fully brought to life for you to enjoy.

Attractions:

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey: This ride begins in the queue which takes you all through the Hogwarts castle! Watch the portraits move, visit Dumbledore in his study, and take a peek at the sorting hat. You will then be whisked off on the ride vehicle as you fly around Hogwarts, through the Forbidden Forest, avoid dangerous creatures, and try to make it safely back to Hogwarts!

This ride is a mix between screens and interactions with real life animatronics. There is a lot of bouncing and moving around, if you are prone to motion sickness this may be one to skip. If you or someone in your party can’t ride, there is a waiting room right where they load the ride vehicles. Plan to take your party member through the queue with you so they can enjoy the inside of the castle, but then leave them in the waiting room with all loose bags and/or children too small to ride.

Flight of the Hippogriff: This is a fun, smooth coaster for even small riders. Kids as small as 39” may still ride. The only thing to keep in mind is even though this little coaster is really fun, it isn’t a very long ride. We would suggest using an express pass or planning on it first thing in the morning, you don’t want to wait very long for this short ride. However, if you have big kids on the Forbidden Journey, this may be a good time to take the little one on something fun while you wait.
