Everybody enjoys familiar comforts; some old favourites have made their way over from Orlando, including the ability to use an interactive wand to cast spells around the village.

Universal Studios Hollywood also welcomes its first outdoor rollercoaster, with the return of the family friendly ride, Flight of the Hippogriff.

You can still visit your best-loved stores, such as Zonkos Joke Shop, the Three Broomsticks Pub and Honeydukes Sweet Shop, which is still the ideal place to pick up a chocolate frog or a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

The good ole Butterbeer carts are still there allowing you to purchase both regular and frozen Butterbeer.

There's nothing quite like a deliciously sweet, non-alcoholic beverage that is perfect for a hot Californian day.

Also, guests can try the new potted cream version of Butterbeer with their meal at the Three Broomstick pub.
