The staff do an incredible job at making you feel apart of the magic. When I was walking through Kings Cross a staff member approached me and asked me what I was holding (a wand I purchased). I told him a wand and he was like what? At first I was completely confused like ummm you work here how do you not know what this is? Then I remembered he was a muggle and in character. It made the experience that much more special 😊
that sounds so fun. if i were you, i’d play along. i wish i could experience that one day but unfortunately i can’t, due to the covid-19 and travel ban. i also can’t afford a plane ticket to orlando :(

You know that if you ask about platform nine and three quarters the people at the entrance will look at you like you’re crazy to give you the feeling you are a wizard
This my childhood in 4 minutes. They really made this attraction truly immersive. The movement of the train beneath you, the visuals, the pepper's ghost effect for 9 3/4, Hedwig's animatronic....What's even better is the blank stares of confusion you get when you ask ANY of the cast members where platform 9 3/4 is. It's so consistently immersive. They really brought it to life.
It's a beautiful ride, the whole experience is just so immersive
@Mickey Mouse and you're a disgrace to the name Mickey Mouse, you nasty worthless soul
@The Truth hurts he's talking about his childhood, what have you got to remember? no one loves you?
They couldnt get the engine right though
@Mickey Mouse sorry but your the disgrace you uncultured swine
Seeing this video is one thing. But being there is completely another. When I was taking the ride from hogsmeade to diagon alley, I got to see the faces of the people who just had the experience seen in this video. And there were so many misty eyes. I don’t blame them, because I teared up massively as well arriving at hogsmeade station.
It’s so stinking magical, words can’t do it justice. They made the Harry Potter universe come to life with these two theme parks.
Harry Potter sucks...
I wish these Universal workers had created the star wars area at Disney. Just imagine if Universal had bought star wars, how wonderful that area of the park could have been, seeing what a great job they did with the Harry Potter IP.
@@brandonfrisby7456 then why are you watching a Harry Potter video 🙃🙃
@@brimis5349 how's the star wars experience at disney? Is it bad? I heard the rise of resistance ride's awesome
@@MrKimiloh Star Wars fans are pissy by nature. Nothing meets their expectations.
i love how at 3:13 the guy ran like in the movies with a stroller
Ikr it's so funny
That would be me tho
amanda schindler *a&wsrrded
Me 😂
it is a screen
The Hermione voice actor 😂 the effort to sound like Emma Watson could not be lower
^
This.
THEY FIXED IT ❤❤❤
Right😂😂I know they had issues getting the actress and Daniel back for the one ride but I wonder if that was the same issue here too cause I always noticed it everytime I got to walk through that station😂
The walk to get on the ride is longer than the ride itself!
Phillip Steele the walking is a part of the experience
It's not a ride lmao
Phillip Steele a
Oh, you mean lines in theme parks are long? Never would have imagined.
Of course...Harry wouldn't have just been click! oh cool.im boarding the Hogwarts express!!!😅😅😂😂
Imagine being J. K Rowling and seeing your words come to life
She said this in particular made her tear up, I believe.
A dream come true.
Then everyone became gay
Ooff that would get the adrenaline pumping!
@@sufikhoirunisanisa5672 ok what
The attention to detail in the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is so unreal! From the man who peeks through the window on one of the houses next to the station, to the fact that it is a different experience whether you are going from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley or the other way around, we just went on all rides including this one and it was a blast. Totally worth it
I love that they kept it authentic. I was worried that once u stepped in, u would be packed in like a frontier airline flight. And making it into more than a transport and it's own attraction was perfect
As a regular commuter at this station (KIng's Cross, not Hogsmeade, lol), I find it oddly depressing that people are paying money to enjoy walking through a British transport nightmare.
+Jamie Dawkins Eh wat?
***** Lol same, I love the British transport.. xD
I mean a regular commuter at the real station. It's weird that they have made a (quite realistic) mockup.
Jamie Dawkins It's not weird. It's the connection between the Diagon-alley end and the Hogwarts and Hogshead end. The iconic steam engine has been rebuild and it's a cool experience.
But it is weird if you know the real King's Cross. I agree it looks like a cool ride.
you know it's not England when the trains are listed as 'on time'.
Lol everyone just walks through to platform 9/3 quarters and the man in the red shirt has da hole trolley and runs through,but this rlly cracked me up, the fact he walks back out again to do it again 😅😅
I was searching for this comment! Best dad award goed to the man with the red shirt!
SchleichHorsies BEST DAD EVERRRR
That guy is now a legend
Lara Skyfeather maybe he's a squab!
I would do a full on sprint 😂
They get nervous if you ask about Voldemort
Really?
oh yeah!!! I've been there!! its amazing they act like there really in hogwarts its sooooooo cool!!!
I'm glad to hear that. What is your favorite house at Hogwarts? My parents, me, my older cousins and most of my friends like Gryffindor.
They should...
Andrea Patane my hubby is Hufflepuff and I am Slytherin.
Did you see some of the kids faces when the got off the train,they looked disappointed,i think they were hoping they were in Hogwarts,lol
😨 that made me sad for some reason.
It does take you there. The train takes them to hogsmade in islands of adventure.
@@Punk-Mask that comment was totally in the spirit of Luna. Always there to shed the light. :)
Maybe they just still upset and feeling sad from the Dementor attack! Not everyone knows about eating some chocolate to feel better!
THarrison004 6uij
The coolest part is that the train actually moves! Bringing you accross the theme park!
I definitely enjoyed the whole experience riding this train, it was worth the wait! The detail put into the stations and the train itself is so impressive.
After the ride when people came out....they weren't looking exited or happy....they looked as if they came out of a metro...
eva wasnik I’ve rode this multiple times and I don’t blame them lmao. It’s honestly kinda a disappointment. Also it smells really bad in there. 😂
@@breakfastburritos19 that's _way_ too realistic ...
🤣
Sounds to me like they didn't put a whole lot of effort into the interior of the ride itself.
I was super disappointed by this ride. When I realized the Main driving wheels on the locomotive were not even touching the ground I knew that they had also messed up the rest of the ride.
The dad walking through the wall with the baby in the stroller lol he was too excited 😆
I haven't been to Disney in 22 years. Everything has changed so much. We went every year when I was a child. Seeing my children at our first ride made me cry like a baby. Going to Universal made me feel like a child experiencing Harry Potter. My family will be back every year now. We will purchase a different interactive wand each time... 😁
You do realize Harry Potter is NOT Disney?
@elfcane
Disney's Magic Kingdom was fun, I enjoyed it a lot. But being an American Anglophile I will enjoy Harry Potter World even more. I'm going to ask my BFF to please take me to Harry Potter World someday.
@@haxozr yes but they're in the same campus/complex/neighborhood.
the dementor effect was genius!
I asked a HP fan what was that and she responded in a British accent " that is a dementor you muggle " than pause followed by " you must be new to the fandom what house are you " I responded " Slytherin " and she said " oh you must be working with he-who-must-not-be-named " and I said " you mean Voldemort? No "
8:38 Hedwig's Theme, Hogwarts, train's whistle... perfection. The reorchestration of John Williams' themes in this attraction is wonderful.
Yes
I CANT STOP CRYING HOW BEAUTIFUL THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER IS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Anything from the trolly deer?" "We'll take the lot!"
I’m really happy that they are bringing universal studios to Britain it has been long enough and everyone will enjoy it
I use King's Cross daily(the original one in London) and I have to say that this King's Cross is pretty authentic
it's so weird in a way that there's a copy of a perfectly ordinary english train station in a theme park in america
Neb Htims ikr. I literally could just go to King Cross if I wanted to.
@@brandonchutt312 You wouldn't have wanted to go to Boarding School. Reading Potter as a child it's what me incredulous the most. They were famous for harsh treatment, cattiness between children and overall being dire. They aren't normal either. At the time JK was writing most children went to comprehensive schools. Boarding schools are explicitly for those who can afford it.
@@brandonchutt312 the uk is hardly over crowded lmao we have country side for days considering Wales,Scotland and England are such small countries
@@brandonchutt312 also boarding schools are not common at all lmao
Even the bins!!
Uuuugghhhh they so need to make a wizard world. Us Harry Potter fans need a much bigger theme park to go. They made Disneyland and Disney world. They could be a whole lot of different section to the wizard world such as a bigger diagon alley, a hogwarts castle that we can actually browse through, a forbidden forest, Azkaban prison etc. also add a theme of fantastic beast across from hogwarts like they did to Disney California across from Disneyland.
Mickey Mouse Calm down
JK Rowling actually came to Disney first to build a land based on Harry Potter. Had the deal went through, we likely would've have something bigger.
If Walt was alive I guarantee he would have made it worth J.K Rowling’s while....I’m just trying to imagine the Harry Potter music with Its a small world after all playing together? I don’t think there would be enough aspirin in the Western Hemisphere if that happened.
@@2410jrod oh and a Hogwarts hotel resort I PAY MONEY TO STAY IN A SLYTHERIN THEMED ROOM
@Mickey Mouse whats a twat
I cannot believe that all these amazing things used to be the imaginations of J. K. Rowling once!
I cannot believe that some of her fans turned on her for merely stating science, facts and reality. How one side calls the other "anti-science" while they themselves completely deny biology is funny to see.
@@TheIndependentLens right is funny how people is pathethic trying to deny biology and Common sense for fantasy
@MontcomHorror czcams.com/video/96wJsJ1kKlM/video.html
It's not that simple. It's never going to be that simple. But they want you to belive it is.
I am so thankful that these videos are up on CZcams, because now I can determine which rides and attractions are worthy of skipping before getting on them.
I was really hoping to get to see the view from that bridge where they meet the dementors. Especially glass starts to freeze, maybe dim the lights and make the cabin colder too. It's also that same bridge when Ron and Harry was on the flying car.
The silhouette on the glass is awesome! I'd never had thought of that.
+holohulolo It's fantastic, a very well thought out attraction
lol for real it was amzingly wicked!!!
The real bridge is the Glenfinnan Viaduct overlooking Loch Sheil in the Highlands of Scotland.
@@dennis12dec thank you for refreshing my memory about Glenfinnan Viaduct. My brain is foggy and hazy and I don't remember names as well as I used to. I was calling it "the beautiful bridge to Hogsmeade" and racking my brain to remember. The various forests and the Glenfinnan Viaduct are the best parts of the ride to Hogwarts. (I have watched lots of HP ASMR videos.)
Death Eaters? Dementors? IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO JUST HAVE A PEACEFUL RIDE TO HOGSMEADE?!?!
XDDDD
Ikr
LegolasNordark Go to Hagrid's Hut, Fluffy will take you soaring in a peaceful way ;)
At least it isn't a rail replacement bus service. :-D
LegolasNordark vx
Being there, at Universal Studios in Orlando was ...er, magical! I remember playing it up to the kids in my party, trying to get Harry and his friends to join our group and asking the trolley lady for some snacks for the kids.
Thank you so much for filming this and giving us this incredible experience
Aaah! Nice touch with them vanishing through the wall! We travelled on the Hogwarts Express coming TO Kings Cross from Islands Of Adventure so didn't see this effect. It's great to see that you get 2 differing experiences depending on which side that you travel to/from. LOVE it!
what i like about the hogwarts express is that it goes passed Hogwarts castle but the girl's voice at 6:41 sounds nothing like hermonie
+chels jones Which is weird because the boys sound like themselves and I rode it and it sounded like Emma Watson... maybe they hadnt yet gotten her sound bit or it had somehow not been working because it didnt even sound like a true british accent...
+blissfullycat02 Daniel Radcliffe also wasn't a voice actor here, but Rupert was. They casted the voice actor for Radcliffe very well..
chels jones xxx
chels jones EXACTLY!!
Universal Orlando
Not ashamed to say that I cried when I rode this and Hogwarts came into view with the theme song playing. A childhood dream come true.
In the cabins, they should have had the pictures on the walls feature moving images. Would have given it a more Harry potter feel.
That happens in the Hogwarts ride. Doesn't make sense on the Hogwarts Express, since that's still part of the 'Muggles' world.
Or made them move
It wasn’t in the books or movies tho so it wouldn’t really work. For a Potterhead like me it would be a little overkill and take me out of the experience tbh
I unkommentiert nimm L L hip lip loll
That wasn’t a part of the books
Yes! I love this so much!
So, I never had watched Harry Potter, don't worry Potter fans I will, my mom told me that we were doing this. I went on this ride, and omg, it felt like I was actually in the movie! The effects were so cool. It wasn't a scary ride. Just a sit down ride to enjoy. Outside our train door was Harry and his friends talking. They did something, not gonna spoil it! Awesome ride! Luckily we went when there wasn't a lot of people entering the subway.
Great video! x
I have to ask my BFF to please take me to Harry Potter World someday.
It's just fantastic and it makes you feel so immersed in the world of universal and the wizarding world
The florescent lights and metal bars everywhere are super magical
As if the Malfoys would have allowed a dirty great railway to cut through their estate!
Wizarding NIMBYism
My thoughts exactly lol
Can't believe they had the audacity to show Malfoy Manor on this
@@orikinzg1212 i love the manor I want to live there i just have to marry Draco
@@theroadtocosplayandcomicco5840 astoria malfoy is going to murder you, anyway he won't marry a mud...ahem muggle, meanwhile lucius malfoy wants to know your location
This is an epic ride/attraction, loved it.
6:42 that doesn't sound like hermione
cause its a different voice actor
jjperceval Just sayin it doesn't sound anything like her
TheShining Katana yeah
MY GOD THE VOICE IS SO HORRIBLE
MANCHILDS PATHETIC
Probably the best themed Doppelmayr creation I've seen.
What? I'm not crying. You're crying. Who'd cry at something like this?
glittery_cucumber uh Harry Potter nerds?
glittery_cucumber lol
glittery_cucumber don't worry i cried as well, especially when i heard the music theme 😭
Harry Potter lol
glittery_cucumber You
Unattended packages everywhere!
That's what I thought, too! Gods forbid the day an officer from the British Transport Police happens to ride this! :-D
Amazing. Wonderful.
If this were realistic, the driver would have been on strike and you'd have to take the replacement bus.
😂
I wonder if the Hogwarts Express ever has that problem...
+Kougaji Sciacallo Not to my knowledge, but this is mainly because the Hogwarts EXpress drivers are members of the Magickal Transport Workers Union (MTWU) and *not* the Railways, Maritime & Transport (RMT) Union! :-p ;-)
Also: As the trains leaving Kings X, look carefully in the background for the plumes of black smoke left by Eurostar Traveller "Care" staff commuting to the office! :-D ;-)
The train is not being driven by a muggle.
YEP
When the music swells when it shows the castle is a chefs kiss
so many muggles. bloody muggles everywhere
mark Leeds united that’s racist to hermione
i know right, wtf
Yes, I am A squid Not a Nomag (American Term for no magic)
Hi It’s me squib
Hi It’s me And Nomaj
That was bloody brilliant!! My childhood dream was always to go to Hogwarts.
This made me cry. Thank you so much. My childhood has been brought to life
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE RIDE.
3:15 OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT MEN WITH THE BABY AHAHHAHAHQH!!!!!!!!!!!
The voice acting for Hermione sounded horrible.
Ikr?! It sounds nothing like her! :
Don’t be rude
@@Autistic_Homo I’m not being rude, I’m saying they should’ve gotten a voice actor that sounded more like Emma Watson. This one sounded nothing like her.
@@user-gr1xi4kd7o Emma could’ve sued them if they tried to impersonate her so better to be safe for them I guess
I agree. I wonder why the actors didn’t send in voice over’s for it. They had them act out for the rides, why not send in voice clips for the train? Makes no sense
Being a railroader, I enjoyed this video, very well done. The staff made it feel so real. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went on this train ride this past December, and I loved the effects on the train. Especially the silhouettes of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the Dementor.
Oh is THE holograms
If there's one thing I've noticed about Universal, they are excellent at making ride lines look and seem shorter than they actually are. They have to have some of the freakin' longest lines of any theme park I've ever been to. Even if there's no wait, it takes forever to walk through them.
James Zagorski The Mummy ride in particular was torture compared to everything else. And that was during October when hardly anyone is in the park.
This was my favorite ride there cause it felt as though you were in london traveling to hogwarts for your first year! I love riding it! Im a huge potterhead and its seem quit reel
Quite* real*
Thesnackthatsmilesback or a huge pothead. Jk jk!
Peters angles tell me why I read this in a British accent😩😩
Yeah this was pretty cool, I like the windows which show scenes like you're going past places, very good effect
@@echogaming2082 True but the places they bulit look nice and real
Last time my parents and I went to Orlando, I was about 14 and they were just about to open this whole harry potter area and we were gutted to have missed it! I live in London and go to Kings Cross station pretty much daily and just watching this video reeeeaaaally excited me..it really is a very good replica!!!
Imagine being a fan of Harry Potter, reading all the books, seeing all the movies. And wishing so hard for all of it to be real only to go to Universal and realizing your wish came true.
that’s me, i’ve been here before. and i can’t wait to go again. i get there are complaints, but i loved riding this
Although most of it is smoke and mirrors, and it's happening in your head, why does that make it any less real? ;)
I want to go. But since I don't want to travel alone I will ask my BFF to please take me to Harry Potter World. Virginia (where I live) is not THAT far from Florida.
I love that the dude took the chance to push the stroller into the wall like Harry pushed the trolley
Same
This place was so magical and amazing , can’t wait to come back!
I wish this had been around when I was a kid. It would've blown my mind.
Forget the kids, should see my face everytime I get on the ride I swear It’s like I still believe in magic secretly.
Nice to see Hull listed on a Departures board in the States (0:26), though it must be an illusion as it says "On Time"...
I did notice that one train - the East Coast 17.57 from
Platform 7 going to York, was cancelled altogether.
Terrible !!!!!
Typical British Rail !!!!!
LOL!
Thank you for posting this.
I've been on this ride in the past and I love it!!!!
With the exception of the sliding doors that's not a bad replica of proper BR Stock.
8:01 there's my boy Hagrid
Thank you for sharing this.
I'm not a Harry Potter "Huge Fan" I sat and watched them with my nephew as he made me and I thought they were "pretty neat" movies. I WAS VERY EXCITED to take him on vacation and ESPECIALLY on this ride which I knew he had been dreaming about!! Having said that, I was BLOWN AWAY with how unbelievable the entire thing was!! I was blown away with the park!!! Those were two days we spent that I will NEVER forget!! I am very glad I allowed him to talk me into spending two days at the park! I have successfully locked up the position as favorite uncle EVER and for that more than anything could not be happier!!! ha
Wow! Real English weather too!
Wait.
Where is the lady who sells candy on cart like in the 1st movie?
Aw man. That was one of the things I was thinking that was gonna be on the ride.
2/10, no magic chocolate frogs coming to life to and running about.
shut up, nerd!
Me too
Jarred Taylor no u
I know I’m late, but on the ride back there are fake chocolate frogs hopping around on the glass. Wayyyy too cool.
She is, but i believe she is on the train ride from hogsmeade to kings cross
just got back from this a couple of weeks ago, watching this is one thing but being there is another................def recommend especially if you have your robes and your wand. SO MAGICAL
So kind of you to film this! Looks amazing and saved us $40!
five minutes walking around in circles before you even get to the ride. SHEESH
the guy who was so ready to ram his baby into a wall lol
Hows great & nice sharing this video thanks!!
That looks so cool literally the effects on the windows were so realistic
when my family went I was maybe 13. I wanted to be a smart ass, and I yelled "I'm going to hagwarts!" I decided running into a wall was a great idea. ya I broke my nose
lol
I think that's actually called being a dumbass 😉
9:07
"NOW APPROACHING: HOGSMEADE STATION!"
The presentation was really brilliant!
I remember riding this. I rode in the off season so It was not as filled with people to ride. It was amazing. Im not a big potter fan. But I loved what universal did to it so much I became a fan.
Cool vid...
Best trick in this video is how you made that two hour queue dissapear.
This was the coolest thing I have ever experienced when we went a few years ago.
THAT IS SO COOL!!
thanks i just convinced my 6 year old sister that im going to hogwarts by showing this video, especially when you guys walked through the wall.
+Dummy Account Awesome, I hope you have a good time!
Dummy Account awwww! So cool!
Lol cool
People are saying it's a dumb ride, but it's not really a ride. It's more like an experience, an interesting way to travel from one park to the next. But I will say tho, if the line to get on the train is so long, I'd rather just walk to the other park then take the train. I'll waste less time that way, it is just a train ride after all
It actually sort of works as transit, because it connects the backs of the parks, and otherwise it's quite a hike to get from one end to the other. But only if the lines are short (when I rode it, it was a week when few states were on school vacation, and they were nearly nonexistent).
Aside from being a way to hawk park-to-park admission, it fills an important niche: it's a big signature Harry Potter ride for people who are too timid or little for Gringotts or Forbidden Journey.
IT IS!!!!!!!😛😡😤😠
Josue Martinez why not use your broom.
Crazy55 rider - the muggles would see! Maybe if you had a invisibility cloak but that’s still dangerous!
Anna G hearts at you.
this is soooo awesome. magnificent reenactment.
I HAVE BEEN ON THAT TRAIN BEFORE!!!! It’s amazing
I cried a bit... Sorry not sorry
Bano D'ut im 37...i cried when the dad ran through the wall with the stroller :^)
Same here 😭❤
At least they could hirse the real actors so Hermione would sound much better than this.
The original actors did NOT want to come back!
They all got other things to do than do this 24/7
I went they’re last year and it was an amazing experience! 100 hundred percent recommend! It was so cool, so real, and if your a Potterhead you’ll absolutely love it! I can’t even explain it! It was so realistic!
Very surreal to hear Foxton and Royston mentioned. Foxton is such a small little village (nice place though), and Royston is, well, Royston… but regardless of Royston’s state, they’re close to my home in Letchworth and I ride past them both when I travel to Cambridge on the train. I think they did an incredible job replicating King’s Cross from the outside, and while the inside looks a little less like its real-life counterpart, I can see they did the best possible job with the space they had.
3:14 lmao i like this dude
8:21 “And too this day, the Flying Car roams the Dark Forest, helping any poor, lost souls, lighting their way.
Well, now that I've watched this video (which was very well done), I have no need to ever wait in a long line for this ride! I feel like I've gotten the gist of the experience just from the video.
Even though I watched the video (and fervently enjoyed it 👍) I still want to go. I'm going to ask my BFF to please take me to Harry Potter World someday.
Thank you so mych for the video. I kust live that train ride.
I'm Finally Going On It First Time In December
