Calling out all the muggles out there!
Your dream of going to Hogwarts Castle will now come true. Behold, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan. Join me as I look through what's inside this wonderful, wizarding journey in the Harry Potter World!
TICKETS
There is no separate ticket if you just want to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWoHP). The attraction is already included when you buy the USJ pass. You can buy passes on the day itself at the ticket booths in front of the park.
If you want to avoid long lines at the booths, you can get tickets in advance if you’re staying at partner hotels or through travel agencies. Through research, Filipinos can buy tickets through Voyagin or Reli Tours, it will be more expensive but very convenient, especially if you hate waiting in line for too long!
WHERE TO GO:
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
A ride wherein sitting four abreast on an enchanted bench, riders follow Harry Potter and Ron Weasley as they fly on broomsticks from Hogwarts Castle to a Quidditch match. Along the way, riders encounter giant Aragog spiders, a massive Basilisk snake, a horde of Dementor phantoms, an angry Whomping Willow tree and a fire-breathing Hungarian Horntail dragon.
Who wouldnt want to pass through Professor Dumbledore’s office, the Gryffindor common room and the Defense of the Dark Arts classroom, the mysterious Mirror of Erised, and encounter the talking headmaster portraits and the sorting hat?
Flight of the Hippogriff
Remember the scene from Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, when Hagrid's class went to the woods to see the Hippogriff? This ride takes you back and let you experience what it feels like to ride a hippogriff. The coaster also rooms around Hogwarts Castle wherein you can overview the scenery of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
WHERE TO EAT:
The Harry Potter movie inspired diners are here! The Hog's Head and Three Broomsticks are serving witchcraft foods that purebloods and mudbloods eat on a daily basis.

You can also have it in a frappucino style (frozen butterbeer) costing around ¥600 for a regular cup and ¥1200 if you want it with a souvenir plastic beer mug. So basically, butterbeer anywhere, butterbeer everywhere!
