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, fun

Cons:

Must have a park hopper ticket

I know you may say "if I want and Hogwarts Express experience, i should ride the Kings cross one". But I´m telling you a like the plot on it more! YES! The experience is different and you need to ride both ways!

Pros:

Immersive, good for beat the heat and chill.

Cons:

If you´re short on time, just ride the King Cross one

Love the theming here as it seems you step right into the movie - everthing looks exactly like the set. And the train ride is as if you are arriving at Hogwarts yourself. Love the vintage train as well. British style carriages. Awesom!

Pros:

Authencity of the attraction.

Cons:

Too short of a ride.

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 3/4s

Cons:

The queue might be a very long wait

Cons:

If you’re not into hp, you’re not going to get it

Nothing bad about this ride. It’s a different show each direction so ride both ways if you can!

Pros:

Relaxing, smooth, entertaining

Cons:

I guess some would think it boring

What a fun experience, I mean who doesn't want to take the train to a wizarding school (unless you can take a giant carriage pulled by flying horses or a magic boat).

Pros:

Interactive experience Great visuals and effects Cool and relaxing

Cons:

That's not Emma Watson . . .

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 Express

Cons:

None
