Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Celebrates One Year Anniversary
One year ago, Universal Orlando Resort opened The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley at Universal Studios. Diagon Alley is an all-immersive, magnificently-themed land where the wonder of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world is brought to life.
In Diagon Alley, guests can watch a 60-foot Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon breathe real fire from the top of Gringotts bank, be put right in the middle of the action on the groundbreaking ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, experience the darker side of magic in Knockturn Alley, cast spells throughout the land with Interactive Wands and more.
Many of the Harry Potter Film stars, including Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, Warwick Davis, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps and Bonnie Wright, were on hand to celebrate the opening of this incredible new land last year. They were as astonished and enchanted with Diagon Alley at Universal Studios as the guests were!
Here’s video to relive the excitement of July 8, 2014!
