This one is amazing! I love how the team members get into the theming and act like Muggles. The train itself is iconic and satisfied all my deep desires to ride the Hogwarts Express.
Pros:
Immersive, great way to get between parksCons:
Very long linesReviewed by PotterfanHB Review Date: 04/06/2021

The Hogwarts Express offers a magical experience that you must ride both ways. Any Harry Potter fan will absolutely love it.
Pros:
Different experiences based on whether you start in Hogsmeade or London. The experience is truly magical.Cons:
Must have a park to park pass to ride. Often has long lines.Reviewed by Alyoop Review Date: 04/04/2021

If you are coming to the parks as a Harry Potter fan you absolutely have to do the train both directions. They really thought out how to make it worth it and enjoyable to hop between both parks in a magical way.
Pros:
The magic is not lost between parks and you get to see the train up close and take pictures with it.Cons:
Sharing the small space with other families can sometimes be awkward but it's still worth it 100%Reviewed by Nobody Review Date: 03/16/2021

Worth it. You have to do it in both directions atleast once. It is best to start in diagon alley but works nicely if either direction is your first time.the Hermione voice actor has to go.
Pros:
Fun, impressive scenes and effects. Puts you into the story.Cons:
Long wait typically. The Hermione voice actress isn't working out.Reviewed by KWeber24 Review Date: 09/30/2020

This is great and I suggest using this as your mode of transportation between parks. You also have to ride it going both ways because it is a different story both ways. Harry Potter world is just out of this world.
Pros:
Theming, funCons:
Must have a park hopper ticketReviewed by Disneyfanaticx3 Review Date: 09/22/2020

This ride is an absolute must-do!! If you are a Harry Potter fanatic like me, you need to ride the Hogwarts Express. the queue was cute but unfortunately it is a popular attraction so you might be waiting in line a while. I waited an hour and a half one of the days I went. BUT there's nothing like being able to say you went through platform 9 3/4s!!! Super fun! Definitely feel like you're in the movie.
Pros:
It's got 2 different "scenarios", going to Hogwarts, and leaving Hogwarts. You feel like you're in the movie! Getting to go "through" platform 9 and 3/4sCons:
The queue might be a very long waitReviewed by Morganne Review Date: 09/22/2020

Must do! Love that it's different both directions, very immersive and feels like you're really on your way back to London. I'd highly recommend doing Kings Cross to Hogsmeade first though to get the true experience.
Pros:
It's the Hogwarts ExpressCons:

Even though this isn’t a roller coaster or thrilling attraction, if you are a Harry Potter fan, I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s a fun way to go back and forth between parks and puts things from the books and movies into an immersive experience that is fun for the whole family.
