Went to both Universal and Islands of Adventure. You must have both parks to get the entire Harry Potter/ HOGWARTS experience. This particular section was the most crowded with ride wait times between 1.5 to 2 hours during OFF season of February. I can t imagine and wouldn t recommend going during the summer months. The ride wait times outside of this area were not nearly as bad. 15 minutes to an hour depending on the ride. If you need to choose a park, I enjoyed the Universal side better and probably a great choice for adults and small children. I think Islands is more suited for adolescents. The food is great. Expensive as hell but very good. We ate in Diagon Alley. And The Mummy is absolutely my favorite ride! You MUST go on it! Everything is ridiculously priced though. Be prepared to spend $30 to park and a frickin cookie is $6. One single cookie. Crazy!
