Hogwarts Express to Diagon Alley
The journey from Hogsmeade to London in Universal Studios works just like the one coming here, but you’ll see different scenery and eavesdrop on different goings-on in the carriage. Notice the subtle rhythmic vibration of the seats. Hogsmeade Station is not as nice as King’s Cross at Diagon Alley—there’s no air-conditioning and no fun tricks like the Platform 9 3/4 photo op—but trains carry 168 people at a time and new ones load 5 minutes after the previous one departs. Strategy: To board, you must have a park-to-park ticket; if you don’t, there’s a ticket upgrade booth out front—it costs $55–$60.
