Potter fans to experience Hogwarts Express

A new 'Harry Potter' area opening at the Universal Orlando Resort theme park this summer will allow fans to ride the Hogwarts Express and experience the British countryside just as characters did in the series.

Revealing details of the plans for the first time, Universal said guests will appear to magically pass through a brick wall and board a train with steam and a whistle.

Riders will have two different experiences – one on the way to the new London-themed area at Universal Studios Park and another on the way to the original Wizarding World of 'Harry Potter' area at Universal’s Islands of Adventure park.

If fans want to see both parks, a two-park ticket will be required.
