This ended up being my favorite Harry Potter attraction/ride (we were there before Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure opened). I loved the bank and the themeing through the whole queue. The elevator ride and the ceilings in the cave. The ride to me was unexpectedly great because it's a mix of thrill ride coaster 4d screen and unexpected effects like water and heat. We rode it probably 4 times.
Pros:
Themeing and variation of ride interaction.Cons:

I like Harry Potter, and was excited to experience this ride. The trouble started once we got to the seats. Why is Universal so bad at creating ride vehicles the accommodate people of all sizes? I had a hard time fitting in the seats, which was very disappointing. We had just done all the Disney parks and had no issues, but as soon as we got here, I had difficulty on THREE different rides. They were able to get the seat to close, but it was very uncomfortable and I nearly cried. Yeah, if you're a Harry Potter fan, you should ride. But not fitting in a ride vehicle will break you emotionally.
Pros:
Harry Potter themed attractionCons:

My favourite out of the Harry Potter rides (bear in mind I haven’t ridden the new Hagrids Motorbike Adventure yet due to living in England). I love this ride, ESPECIALLY when you’re placed at the back. The g-force in the drop with Bellatrix is crazy good!
Pros:
Incredibly immersive and the theming is fantastic.Cons:
I have nothing.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/24/2021

This ride could’ve been better. I found it quite lackluster , compared to the other awesome rides in the Wizarding world. The first drop was pretty cool, but then it’s blah from there. I would recommend going through the queue line if you are an HP fan. It’s better than the ride.
Pros:
Amazing queue line.Cons:
Boring, not innovative, no strong plot line.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 12/29/2020

Love it, but watch the motion sickness
Pros:
When you pay attention to where they point you it is an amazing ride.Cons:
I was so enthralled with the mechanisms used to give you the flying feeling that I got soooooo motion sick. I don't ever get sick until I was at the end seat and watched the mechanisms not what they wanted you to see. My daughters begged to go on again, I fought through the sick feeling(luckily one hour wait) and truly enjoyed it when I rode the second time.Reviewed by StephanieSchatz Review Date: 09/30/2020

The queue for the ride is so realistic! The ride itself is great. The drop at the beginning of the ride builds suspense, but the drop itself is short and goes quickly. The ride is the perfect combination of thrills and imagery. It's one of my favorites!
