The staff do an incredible job at making you feel apart of the magic. When I was walking through Kings Cross a staff member approached me and asked me what I was holding (a wand I purchased). I told him a wand and he was like what? At first I was completely confused like ummm you work here how do you not know what this is? Then I remembered he was a muggle and in character. It made the experience that much more special 😊

Seeing this video is one thing. But being there is completely another. When I was taking the ride from hogsmeade to diagon alley, I got to see the faces of the people who just had the experience seen in this video. And there were so many misty eyes. I don’t blame them, because I teared up massively as well arriving at hogsmeade station.

It’s so stinking magical, words can’t do it justice. They made the Harry Potter universe come to life with these two theme parks.

This my childhood in 4 minutes. They really made this attraction truly immersive. The movement of the train beneath you, the visuals, the pepper's ghost effect for 9 3/4, Hedwig's animatronic....What's even better is the blank stares of confusion you get when you ask ANY of the cast members where platform 9 3/4 is. It's so consistently immersive. They really brought it to life.

The walk to get on the ride is longer than the ride itself!

i love how at 3:13 the guy ran like in the movies with a stroller

The Hermione voice actor 😂 the effort to sound like Emma Watson could not be lower

Did you see some of the kids faces when the got off the train, they looked disappointed, i think they were hoping they were in Hogwarts, lol

[theboix]

I love that they kept it authentic. I was worried that once u stepped in, u would be packed in like a frontier airline flight. And making it into more than a transport and it's own attraction was perfect

Lol everyone just walks through to platform 9/3 quarters and the man in the red shirt has da hole trolley and runs through, but this rlly cracked me up, the fact he walks back out again to do it again 😅😅

Uuuugghhhh they so need to make a wizard world. Us Harry Potter fans need a much bigger theme park to go. They made Disneyland and Disney world. They could be a whole lot of different section to the wizard world such as a bigger diagon alley, a hogwarts castle that we can actually browse through, a forbidden forest, Azkaban prison etc. also add a theme of fantastic beast across from hogwarts like they did to Disney California across from Disneyland.

The attention to detail in the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is so unreal! From the man who peeks through the window on one of the houses next to the station, to the fact that it is a different experience whether you are going from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley or the other way around, we just went on all rides including this one and it was a blast. Totally worth it

[evawasnik]

After the ride when people came out....they weren't looking exited or happy....they looked as if they came out of a metro...

[James-gcif]

As a regular commuter at this station (KIng's Cross, not Hogsmeade, lol), I find it oddly depressing that people are paying money to enjoy walking through a British transport nightmare.

Imagine being J. K Rowling and seeing your words come to life

[Brand-pnyz]

The coolest part is that the train actually moves! Bringing you accross the theme park!

The dad walking through the wall with the baby in the stroller lol he was too excited 😆

I was really hoping to get to see the view from that bridge where they meet the dementors. Especially glass starts to freeze, maybe dim the lights and make the cabin colder too. It's also that same bridge when Ron and Harry was on the flying car.

The silhouette on the glass is awesome! I'd never had thought of that.

I definitely enjoyed the whole experience riding this train, it was worth the wait! The detail put into the stations and the train itself is so impressive.

I haven't been to Disney in 22 years. Everything has changed so much. We went every year when I was a child. Seeing my children at our first ride made me cry like a baby. Going to Universal made me feel like a child experiencing Harry Potter. My family will be back every year now. We will purchase a different interactive wand each time... 😁

it's so weird in a way that there's a copy of a perfectly ordinary english train station in a theme park in america
