The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley: An Overview

 

OVERVIEW:
Welcome to London, home of cobblestone streets, red telephone booths, and.......a secret magical community? It's true. There is are many hidden surprises hidden in this seemingly ordinary town. From a train ride to Hogsmeade to a journey into the Ministry of Magic itself.

However, the biggest attraction here is Diagon Alley. Here, guests go through the brick wall and into the streets of the Wizarding shopping district. Here is where they can buy all of their magical supplies, whether it be wands, robes, or school supplies.

But don't be fooled by the calm atmosphere. Deep inside the vault of Gringotts is a multi-sensory thrill ride, where peril resides in the vaults. And don't forget the dragon on top of the bank, which breathes real fire!

Do note that this is a smaller version of the area than its Orlando counterpart. There is no covered market area, even though the stage where entertainment plays is found near Gringotts.
