30 Magical Secrets From Universal's Harry Potter Diagon Alley

If you're a Potterhead, a trip to Universal Studios Resort is not complete without a visit to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley. From the magical atmosphere to the breathtakingly realised details, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has become the premiere attraction of the Orlando park and with Hogsmeade about to open in California, it should be the first stop on your Universal Studios to-do list.
