The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal\u00a0 is full of adventure, and while my family had a ton of fun doing all we could possibly cram into a day, it was these seven must-do activities at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando that really made our day amazing.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Butterbeer, of course! (Pro Tip: Get it at the Hog’s Head)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course you have to try butterbeer, and I’m willing to bet that you’ll absolutely love it. My whole family enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In Hogsmeade, there are a few carts that sell butterbeer and the lines get long. You can also get it at the Hog’s Head pub, which adjoins the Three Broomsticks, and the wait time is significantly less. Both times we stopped in here, there were just a few people in line. It was significantly less wait time than if we had gotten it at the cart outside, just a few steps away.<\/p>\n

Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor (Pro Tip: Try a funky flavor)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For a late afternoon snack, we headed to Florean Forescue’s Ice Cream Parlor, where they have butterbeer ice cream. My daughter really liked it. My husband had a combo of chocolate chili and chocolate raspberry. (Tip: You can get two flavors even if you’re only getting one scoop.) I had apple crumble and for my second flavor I opted for sticky toffee pudding ice cream. They have other unique flavors like Earl Grey tea & lavender. The line stretched outside but it moved pretty quickly. There is no seating in Florean’s so we did what most people seem to do and enjoyed our ice cream on the steps across the alley between the Magical Menagerie and Gringott’s. It made for fun people watching.<\/p>\n

Hop On Sirius Black’s Motorcycle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember how Hagrid borrowed Sirius Black’s bike to transport baby Harry to the Dursleys in the first chapter of the first book? It’s in Diagon Alley!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

When we ate our ice cream, I was surprised to see that for a long period of time, not one person stopped at the motorcycle with the side car parked next to Gringotts. The first time we saw it, there was a line of people waiting to hop on for a fun photo. A few hours later, no one seemed to take notice. Don’t miss it.<\/p>\n

The Frog Choir<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you’re over in Hogsmeade, you can catch a Frog Choir performance, it’s a croaking good time, and the performers are quiet talented.<\/p>\n
