Stylistically designed to be authentic to the tone and feel of the Harry Potter films, the website invites guests to virtually sample the land’s many shops, establishments and attractions through an artfully recreated parchment map.

The website touts the area’s “multidimensional thrill ride,” Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which will make its U.S. debut in hyper-realistic 3D-HD to further immerse guests in the already captivating storyline, and Flight of the Hippogriff, which will be Universal Studios Hollywood’s first outdoor rollercoaster.

You’ll also preview the area’s Potter-inspired specialty retail shops including Honeydukes, Ollivanders, Owl Post, Zonko’s Joke Shop, Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment, Dervish and Banges, Gladrags Wizardwear and Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods, along with such famous eateries as Three Broomsticks and Hog’s Head pub.
