    Who doesn't love getting away from work and away from all that stress and going into a world that is full of magic and wonder? Another great job from Universal. Yes, this is smaller than Florida but still worth the visit. Love the shops and the fun rides. It looks just like the movies and books that I grew up on and they really brought this to life. Highly recommend this place to visit and check out the shops and rides.

    Be prepared to spend around $50 for a wand. Try the different types of butterbeer. The cold butterbeer was my preference. It tastes like cream soda to me. The only one we didn't try was the frozen butterbeer. My guess is that it's more of a slushy type. So many things to check out. Use the bathrooms in Hogsmeade because you can hear Moaning Myrtle. Check out the pre-show before you visit Ollivander's wand shop. Loved the choosing of the wand ceremony. Stores get pretty crowded, but that's not surprising. They had a light show at night that was pretty amazing.

    SO COOL, absolute must for any Harry Potter fan. I loved it even though I'm staunchly anti JK Rowling (screw TERFs all my homies hate TERFs). Anyways, Hogsmeade really transports you into the world of Harry Potter! From the Hogwarts Express and the conductor, the interactive "magic" if you have a wand, the moving storefront displays, the intricate decor and design for each of the shops, the wizards walking around helping us Muggles, the architecture and the Hogwarts castle itself. It's all very beautiful and stunning to take in. ESPECIALLY during the holiday seasons, the buildings are capped with snow, there's tinsel and wreaths galore, and lights at night with the Hogwarts Christmas lights and fireworks show at night! Huge crowds were already forming to watch the show, but since we were lucky enough to have the park to ourselves from 6-9 PM, there was plenty of space for arriving 5 minutes before the show started! Unfortunately when I went this time around they did not have bottled pumpkin juice, just bottled Gilly Water. Drats, next time! Make sure you try some cold butter beer, it's a must if you haven't already !

    It's a good place to eat if you want to feel like you're eating on theme with Harry Potter. I definitely enjoyed the fish and chips since it was meaty which is always nice! The ribs were alright, very saucy.

    How beautiful it is, especially during the holidays! Probably my favorite time I've been. Potter fans will feel immersed in the story, the setting, and the magic. During holidays they delight of the school at night and it's really cute and awesome, with a merry touch. The entrance of the land is controlled by staff to prevent overcrowding but it moves and still worth the wait. I've only been on the Forbidden ride, it was scary abs thrilling and gave me some nausea - because I'm prone to motion sickness. It's a cool ride I just don't feel the need to ride it again lol. Likes for food here get long, but if you want butterbeer there are carts that sell it from why I remember.

    Castle!

    Man, this place. They did it so well. Feel like you really are in the magical world of Harry Potter while you're here. The rides are great and the castle and town look absolutely breathtaking. The hippogriff ride was nice and super quick and only lasted about 30 seconds but the other ride in the castle was like 4 minutes and went and saw a lot of the castle and a ton of the enemies in the Harry potter universe! A must try when at universal

    Take me back !!! I just wanna live here! Ok in all honesty Hogsmeade is SMALL. You can be done walking around in less than an hour. BUT...if you explore every nook and cranny you can take up to two. My friend and I took photos galore in our house colors and we got to see muggles use their interactive wands. It was really interesting to see what they did with them! Muggles...so easily amused aren't they?? There's a few shops and they all pay great attention to detail. I really loved the little alleys and the window displays were absolutely gorgeous. Although I wish the false storefronts were actually real stores . At least they had the courtesy of putting "closed" signs! If you're in Hogsmeade you MUST stop by the 3 Broomsticks for a bite to eat before heading to Hogwarts. Also Butterbeer is sold at a few spots, you can have it cold or slushy style. Remember to speak to the conductor at platform 9 3/4, he's very charming! Thanks Universal, for bringing a fantastic place to life!

    If you're here, it's almost a sin to not get a butter beer! (No actual beer in it). They have a few stands selling it throughout Hogsmeade. Most stands sell it from both sides too! There are two types of butterbeer-frozen or non-frozen. I got one of each to try them both out. FROZEN BUTTER BEER: Definitely on the sweeter side-too sweet in my opinion. Would prefer the non-frozen more personally. NON FROZEN BUTTER BEER: Still sweet, but definitely less sweet than the frozen one. Would prefer this one. It's also carbonated and the foam accumulates as you drink more and more of it (I have no idea why and thought that was super cool)! Definitely would recommend sharing with someone as it's kind of a lot for one self, but if you don't believe in sharing then you do you! Haha (:

    A-ma-zing! I was in awe when I stepped into Hogsmeade grounds! The wand shop with Olivander's pre-show before entering the actual wand shop, was delightful and I felt like a kid at heart again! Get there early because it can be quite crowded when everyone is shopping for their wand or the wand is looking for their owners in the magical world! I splurged and got the collections of HP, Dumbledore and Voldemort! I splurged on the grounds basically! I got a lot of souvenirs and that couldn't be helped! Been dying to go here since it opened with my family! I loved the entirety of this place and stayed here for most of the morning and afternoon! Love, love, love. The kid in me, felt fulfilled and happy, undoubtedly.

He also loved the few rides he could get on, waiting more than 1.5 hours for some. I think you can pay for a pass that gets you on a ride faster, but we are not rich. The food served there is very good and all enjoyed it. The stores are so expensive, no thanks. The staff is nice and they try to do a good job and I thank them for that. They also changed the hours on us at the last minute. I bought the tickets and read the hours. But they put up some event cutting us out of several hours. That is not okay.
