A must for any Potter fan. The line is worth walking through. Amazing props to see. Must ride at least once even though it made me sick.
Pros:
The line if it isn't too long of a waitCons:

Personally I think this is the best ride at Universal Orlando. The creators spent a significant amount of time to make sure everyone can enjoy the ride multiple times and it feels as if you have been inserted into the movies.
Pros:
Coolest queue I have ever seen. Actually would wait in line and not ride the ride as the line goes through multiple Hogwarts scenes and very interactive. Can spot something new in the ride every time you ride.Cons:
Scary scenes for small kids that involve spiders and dementors. Lots of motion so can induce motion sickness. Does not fit many tall people. Ride operators will stop you multiple times to make sure you can fit the ride.Reviewed by Desiree630 Review Date: 09/22/2020

Even my roller coaster hating nephew (who hasn’t seen any Harry Potter) loves this ride. You do get gently spun upside down for a minute so don’t leave anything in your pocket at all. You really got the illusion of flying. Such a ,ahi always ride
Pros:
Smoothly moves you aroundCons:

This ride is so cool! You get to walk through Hogwarts and see lots of Harry Potter details! The ride contains many elements from the books and films and has a very unique ride system.
Pros:
Entertaining, fast-moving, well themed.Cons:
Ride seats are somewhat narrow and the ride may cause motion sickness.Reviewed by rmayorga130 Review Date: 09/22/2020

The OG Harry Potter ride has fallen by the wayside in favor of the newer rides, but this ride is still a lot of fun. The unique ride system is still a wonder, and if nothing else, it’s worth it just to walk through the queue which happens to be Hogwart’s Castle. If the ride seems a bit intimidating, at least walk the queue.
Pros:
One of the most unique rides you’ll go on; Hogwart’s Castle is amazing.Cons:
Can make you nauseous from all the screens and moving around.Reviewed by PrincessNicole Review Date: 09/15/2020

If you are a Harry Potter fan, you have to do this ride. From the the scenes you go through in the ride to the classrooms you walk through in the queue, this ride does not disappoint. It's incredibly immersive. The only downside to this ride is that it is scary. They really bring you up close to some of the scariest creatures the Wizarding World has to offer. If you are with someone who easily scares, I would warn them that they are going to come across some dragons, spiders, and deatheaters. Each seat gets very close to one of these things, so if there is something you really want to stay away from, you may look into which seat you'd like to avoid. I'm pretty terrified throughout the whole ride but I still ride it every time I go.
Pros:
Immersive, exciting, must do for all Harry Potter FansCons:

Soooooo good for HP fans. You can walk through Hogwarts without riding if you want because walking through Hogwarts is a must do! Sooo many HP finds along the way: Dumbledore’s office with pensieve, Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with trio siting, Fat Lady, Sorting Hat, etc. And that’s just on the walk through. The actual ride is unlike anything else. You get to fly on a broom and attempt a quidditch match and even see dementors, plus more. Biggest concern on this ride is motion sickness. If you are prone to or occasionally have motion sickness, you may want to skip the ride or just ride without eating or drinking first. Also, seats are small for plus size people but they have a modified seat that they will sit you in or you can request.
Pros:
- all the Harry Potter finds - unique experienceCons:
- motion sickness - motion sickness - small seats but modified seat availableReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 09/14/2020

This ride takes a simulator to the next level! It is such a unique experience with amazing theming. I personally don't get motion sick but I understand if you get a little sick, but walk through the line anyways if you don't want to ride it. I do recommend this ride and I've never been on anything like it.
