Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is the headline attraction of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You walk through the classrooms and corridors of Hogwarts and then soar above the castle grounds, together with Harry Potter and his friends.
The concept
Hogwarts castle towers high above Hogsmeade. Inside, you see familiar places from the stories before you board. Then you take your seat with an over-the-shoulder restraint and set off on a flight with Harry and his friends.
The Experience
According to the park, the ride simulates spectacular aerial acrobatics: you accelerate, stop, turn, climb and drop. It feels as if you are really flying over the castle grounds, past the most thrilling moments from the world of Harry Potter. Four people sit in a row.

Try the test seat
There is a test seat in front of the entrance, so you know whether the restraint fits.
Visitor information
The minimum height is 1.22 metres and the maximum weight is 136 kilos. You keep your head against the headrest and your hands on the restraint. Loose items are not allowed on the ride. There are lockers at the attraction (possibly for a fee). If you find it difficult to step onto a moving belt, there is a stationary boarding point. This attraction is part of Universal Express (sold separately), which lets you use a faster queue.
A must for every fan
This ride is the highlight of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Come back in the evening for Nighttime Magic at Hogwarts Castle, when the castle lights up with music and projections.
