After what may have been the highlight of my nerdom, I’m bringing you the Fairytale Traveler report and guide to Universal Studios Diagon Alley. This is an easy-to-read resource of shoppes, attractions, Harry Potter spells list, tips, and the inside local scoop on the best time of year to visit and avoid the crowds.
From my Butterbeered lips to your spells of magic, here’s all the wizardry that Universal Studios Orlando and the Harry Potter books have brought to life.
Guide to Universal Studios Diagon Alley
I made my way past King’s Cross Station, the Knight Bus, the Eros Fountain from Piccadilly Square, and to the hidden entrance behind Leicester Square to Diagon Alley. As I entered the brick hole in the wall my eyes scrolled along a cobblestone street laid between towering shoppes. My eyes widened with every inch, every window, and every sign as they led to a fire-breathing dragon perched upon Gringotts Bank.
