Hogwarts Castle — Attraction in Osaka

WICKED!!!! Harry potter fans will love the place. Unfortunately when I went the hippogriff ride was closed down due to maintenance work but I still enjoyed the whole experience. The harry potter section of the park recreates hogsmeade, so you'll be able to find shops like zonko or honeydukes. Grab dinner or lunch at the three broomsticks.

Everything of course is really expensive but worth it if you're a fan. The ride of the castle was really entertaining and queuing time wasn't too bad, because basically you queue through different sections of the castle: dumbledore's room, gryffindor's common room and a classroom. Crazy attention to detail made the whole experience absolutely fantastic. Great souvenir selection, both in the castle and in the various shops. If you buy a wand you can make spells throughout the area. Also there are 3 dedicated street show: the frog choir, the Triwizard tournament and one with spells .

Don't miss the Triwizard tournament's one, it was the best in my opinion.

Pumpkin juice was great, compared to butterbeer which was waaay to sweet. If you must try it I suggest frozen butterbeer or butterbeer ice cream.

I hope I'll be able to visit this...

AMAZING!!! If you're a Potterhead this place will make you squeal with joy! This place decipts hogwarts and its nearby village during winter, expect snow-capped rooftiles. Several places will let you test your magical abilities if you have a magic wand and chant the right spell. The castle itself is perfect. Came in from underground passage, if you look up, the corner of the stones will look wet. The paintings will comunnicate with you. The attention to details of this place is superb. I suggest you to visit early in the morning (make it your first stop) or late in the evening (your last stop) because then the queue would be the shortest (only 40 minute wait, which inside hogwarts it will feel like just a blink of an eye!) The main attraction is the forbidden journey. Hands down the best attraction of the whole place. I don't wanna tell you much about the ride, let's just say the ride is nothing short of magical! Ps. If you're DEATHLY afraid of spiders then you might want to consider...
