Take a stroll down Diagon Alley

Ever since The Wizarding World of Harry Potter first opened at Universal’s Islands of Adventure back in June of 2010, thousands of people have entered Hogsmeade and — after spotting that stationary version of the Hogwarts Express (which was parked at the entrance of this theme park land as a photo op) — exclaimed: “Oh, wouldn’t it wonderful if we could climb aboard that train and actually go someplace like London or Diagon Alley.”

Well, as you can see by this exclusive piece of concept art, starting in the Summer of 2014, that dream will finally become a reality. Building on the success of Hogsmeade, Hogwarts Castle and the award-winning “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” attraction, Universal Orlando Resort and Warner Bros. Entertainment today announced an expansion of historic proportion with the addition of an entirely new themed environment, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley.
