Hogsmeade & Diagon Alley Expert

My wizards & I at Hogwarts

Do you or your children love all things Harry Potter? If so, a trip to magical Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley are in order!

Snack on a chocolate frog from Honeydukes, grab a butter beer from the Hopping Pot, or try a strawberry peanut butter ice cream cone from Florean Fortesque's Ice Cream Parlor. Once you've tried all the delicious wizarding treats, it's time to explore the Hogwarts Castle, ride on a Hippogriff, take a motorcycle adventure with Hagrid, or perhaps open an account with the goblins at Gringotts! 

Not into rides? Visit Ollivander's for a wand, and practice your magic skills all around Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. Be careful - you may end up in Knockturn Alley where you could run into dark wizards at Borgin & Burke's! If you are just a squib who can't do magic, you can always check out the witches and wizards who perform in the Tri Wizard Rally, the Frog Choir, or watch The Tale of the Three Brothers. 

Finally, you really must take the train from King's Cross to Hogsmeade. It's quite an experience to watch as your wizard peers disappear through the platform. Enjoy the quick ride to Hogsmeade, but be sure to watch out for spiders and dementors on the train!

With so many wonderfully magical things to see and do, you could spend many days exploring this magical world. You might even have time to visit Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure, too!
