Hogwarts Express

Muggles get ready for the 8th July 2014...

For the very first time guests are invited to climb aboard the famous 'Hogwarts Express' to experience the journey of a lifetime!


With a Park-to-Park admission ticket you can travel from Kings Cross Station London inside Universal Studios and travel to Hogsmeade Station located inside Universal's Islands of Adventure, or ride in back in the opposite direction.

Enter Kings Cross Station off Diagon Alley, like the real thing you'll walk through passageways and tunnels to the platforms. Guests have to pass between platforms 9 and 10, where you will magically walk straight through a 'Solid Wall' onto Platform 9 3/4!

As you arrive at Platform 9 3/4, take in the sights and smells of this iconic train as it billows out steam and listen out for the guards whistle. A Prefect will guide you to your passenger compartment on the train, each compartment seating 8 guests at a time.

Sit back and let your imagination run wild on this magical journey by steam train from London, travelling through the English countryside, to the quaint Hogsmeade village, just like Harry Potter himself on his way to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

From the windows watch the adventure unfold before your eyes, who knows what mischief will happen! Look out for the Weasley's, Hagrid and Hedwig as they fly past...and who's that lurking in the shadows of the corridors?

The Hogwarts Express is a fabulous experience not to be missed and is a unique way of travelling between Universal Studios and the Islands of Adventure, linking the two Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter.

Ride opened: 8th July 2014
