ICYMI, MuggleNet was one of the lucky fan sites to host a sweepstakes that awarded one entrant four tickets to attend the VIP/media preview of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley. Our lucky winner was Letha, a wife and mother of two from Wyoming. This is her account of their whirlwind trip to Universal Orlando Resort.
Over the last year I’ve eaten a few times at the Hog’s Head in Hogsmeade. The food is good yet traditional, and I would say that holds true for the fare at the Leaky Cauldron. I love that Universal is providing visitors with two mostly completely different menus, new drinks, new desserts, the works. It makes both restaurants an absolute MUST for visitors. Just save room for the Butterbeer soft serve.
You’ve read the books. You’ve seen ALL the covers: original, reissue, limited edition, international, and anniversary. Now, you can win a limited edition print signed by Kazu Kibuishi from our friends at Gallery Nucleus!
This last week, MuggleNet was down in Orlando, Florida, at Universal Orlando Resort for a VIP/media preview of the all-new Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley expansion. No doubt you’ve seen the trailers, the photos, the interviews, and the endless pictures of people standing on benches trying to get a glimpse – and all of that stuff is great. But what you can’t see is the absolute best part of the park – the inherent magic.

It’s nearly time! The walls at London, which hide the magical Diagon Alley, have come down overnight. Muggles still aren’t able to walk through the area, but thanks to our friends at “Attractions Magazine”, we have a plethora of gorgeous pictures to share with you. ENJOY!
