During Spring, I attended a preview of “Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle” inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood. The illuminating projection show during the summer is a little darker and even more spectacular than their traditional Christmas projection show.

Now through August 11 on selected nights, Hogsmeade village is open for guests to explore shops, see the multi-media show and experience the land’s signature rides, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” and “Flight of the Hippogriff.”

Enjoy hearty Scottish fare, Butterbeer and Gilly Water, as well as Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Tickets are available at Universal Studios Hollywood.
