By , About.com Guide

The "Harry Potter theme park" is in Islands of Adventure, one of two theme parks at Universal Orlando. The 20-acre "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" has two main areas: Hogwarts Castle, and the village of Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade's lanes have quaint shops, such as Dervish and Banges, themed to the last detail from the Harry Potter books. Within Hogwarts Castle is the state-of-the-art attraction The Forbidden Journey of Harry Potter; the line-up for the ride is a tour through the Castle. The Harry Potter theme park also has the Dragon Challenge dueling roller coasters and the quick-but-fun Flight of the Hippograff.
