10 Ways Universal Orlando Proved To Be The Home Of Harry Potter

5. You Can Travel Hundreds Of Miles In A Matter Of Minutes

If you are used to taking the slow moving British rail system, then the idea of getting a train from London Kings Cross to the Scottish Highlands would probably fill you with dread. This is certainly not the case at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

The Hogwarts Express takes you on a journey through hundreds of miles in a matter of minutes. Hop aboard the Hogwarts Express at either the London Kings Cross area of Universal Studios or in Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure and sit back and relax.

Naturally the journey is filled with magic, so keep your eyes peeled on the window, you never know what or who you might see.
