This multi-generational attraction brings the magic and excitement of some of the world’s favorite literary characters to the U.S. West Coast.

Come to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ at Universal Studios Hollywood to experience firsthand the magic and wonder you’ve delighted seeing over and over in J.K. Rowling’s fantastic books and movies. Attention to detail, state-of-the-art robotics technology and some wizardry make this theme park an authentic recreation of the worlds that Harry, Ron and Hermione inhabit.

All magical things start at Hogwarts Castle. Take a ride on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ in 3D-HD, the park’s star attraction. Travel by Floo powder, soaring high above the castle. Participate in a Quidditch match, have a close encounter with a Whomping Willow and fight off a dragon. Filmed action scenes, special effects and 360-degree pivots along an elevated track make this whirlwind ride a truly exciting adventure.

Nearby, ride the Flight of the Hippogriff, Universal Studios Hollywood’s first outdoor roller coaster. Between rides, enjoy foods fit for wizards at Three Broomsticks™ and Hog’s Head pub and Magic Neep and Butterbeer™ carts. Make a visit to the retail shops for wizarding clothing and supplies and other souvenirs. Look for Ollivanders™, of course, as well as Honeydukes™, Owl Post™, Zonko’s™ Joke Shop, Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, Dervish and Banges, Gladrags Wizardwear and Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods™.

8.4/10 Very Good! (2,326 reviews)

The Glendale Hotel is a decent place to stay. It is average in every way. It will not Amaze you in any way. The rooms are big but old the staff is friendly but limited, the area has many food options but not particularly nice. Possibly unsafe for women after Dark. In a nutshell I would describe this day as quote "it gets the job done"

8.6/10 Excellent! (819 reviews)

Guy at the front desk who checked me in was super awesome and the rooms are SO nice. Actually was going to give this property five stars and say I was blown away…. Until I checked out and had an unfavorable experience at the valet. The attendant who pulled up my car straight up stared at me and watched as I struggled to get all my luggage into the trunk — didn’t even attempt to help, which was strange for a 5-star hotel. I honestly don’t know why I still tipped him.
