It was a lot of fun, and the Forbidden Journey ride was amazing. BUT, you REALLY need to be into Harry Potter to get a lot out of the rest of the place. Worth going once.

Honesty Pierson

So amazing and beautiful! I absolutely loved it! If you are a Harry Potter,you must come here!! Bring money because you will love everything!

Chris Lord

Grab a Butterbeer and walk through the shops. It's all part of the experience. Best themed land!

Keyue Bao

Go later in the day to avoid the crowd (most kids leave earlier), definitely do the ride but the one outdoors is not as worth it. Also, the butter beer is amazing! You can't go wrong with either.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk in you're truly transported from the cobblestone ground to the houses to Hogwart's castle , it's super fun!

JC

Going back just to get my own wand!!! And robe!!! Love this place!!! Heard crying Myrtle down the loo too! It's so fun✨✨✨

Rosy C

Frozen Butterbeer is the best! The best ride at Universal@is located inside Hogwarts. Just don't get on with a full belly. #motionsickness

Abrar Al-Mahfoodh

Like a dream come true ???? The forbidden ride was really amazing.. Try the Butterbeer (it's non-alcoholic)

mizz lin

Its like walking into the movie , there are live musical skits in the open air stage . Once you purchase a wand , stand outside the shop fronts and work the magic !

Elizabeth Perez

Get there in the morning when there is no wait for anything!

Danielle Collier

Imo, the "magic" wands aren't worth the price difference. They really don't do much, at one station a measuring tape either ascends or descends. Maybe I need more magic in my life to appreciate it lol

Abdulrahman Fetyani

Perfect, I spend most of my time here, don’t forget to drink butterbeer .

Denise Wilkerson

The lines are to be expected for the rides and the crowds in the shops but the lines for the food, when there was space inside and outside where it was raining there were five people in line were dumb

JNET

Wand yourself about and see what magic you have! Eat at Three Broomsticks but EAT after rides or chill out before getting on rides.

Aaron Grebner

So awesole! You have to try a Butter Beer . And you might as well shop at all the shops! Be prepared to spend a lot of money.

Jason C

A delightful place that does an amazing job of capturing the imaginations of wizards, both young and old.

Y R

Must visit and try it

Lailanie Gadia

I'm excited this place is here in LA. Butterbeer , HP & Forbidden Journey ride , and Three Broomsticks are a MUST!

Ray Scholl

Frozen butter beer and the fish and chips were great

Phillip Robertson

The walk through Hogwarts Castle while in line is as great as the Forbidden Journey itself.

Rico Sauve

Everything I hoped and dreamed about . Amazing job universal .

Andy Franco

Frozen Butter Beer , Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, and fish and chips !!!

Katherine Coles

Level of detail is amazing! Ollivanders is super sweet and the Butterbeer even sweeter!

Bob Bretall

If you're heavy (I'd say 250 lbs and up) you won't be able to ride anything in Harry Potter world

Jeffrey Glueck

Go Early Admission after buying online, entering at 8am. We got through Hogwarts line in 12 mins, by late morning the line was 2 hrs.

Joey Hernandez

the attention to detail is amazing. check out all the wand trick locations!!

A.N

They made a great attraction from the magical windows

Leonda Levchuk

Want to skip that 110 min. wait? Buy the Front of the Line pass and save a lot of time! More time to drink frozen butterbeers !

Charles T Sebesta

Anything Universal Studios does is bound to be fun! Nothing else needs to be said nor reviewed.

Alharith

Awesome structures & amazing atmosphere

Tema Stankevich

Be ready to buy couple of wands and robes.

Blue

Buy your wand at any of the outdoor stands or wait in line for the full demo at Ollivanders . The interactive wand is so/so.

Hard Rocker

A must visit for the Harry Potter fan.

Jorge Law

Incredible! Don't forget your butterbeer .

Cristina

Very similar to the one in Orlando. Really cool and fun!

Biz Traveldude

Awesome theme park , great job on recreating Harry Potter world

Forbidden Journey is amazing. Flight of the Hippogriff sucks. It last like 10 seconds.

Buying the interactive wand is definitely worth it!

Can't hold a candle to D-Land or Knott's Berry Farm in terms of rides or production values. Exception is the Harry Potter world which was very well done. Fast pass is spendy but a life saver - Brian Strauss
