Hogsmeade village is located in universal Orlando studios at the far end of the park. At the entrance to the Hogsmeade village is Hogsmeade station. As you enter the village you get to see Hogwarts express and pose with it. Have a chat with the friendly driver and click few snaps with Hogwarts express in the background.

As you go inside, you get to see the snow-capped village. The snowy look gives the whole village a picturesque touch. There are carts selling butterbeer, pumpkin juice, and other goodies. Don't forget to get butterbeer in the souvenir mugs and get clicked with your frothy mustache ;) Its lined with colorful shops. The notable among them are Olivanders and Honeydukes. Get yourself a bag of treats from honeydukes full of chocolate frogs, or Bertie Bott every flavored bean, peppermint toads or the jelly slugs and then move towards olivanders to witness the wand choosing ceremony and get yourself a magic wand. It's very interesting to see it and the little magic threw along with it. Note strange looking muggle devices(read phones and camera) are discourage also it's not the wizard/witch who chooses the wand, the wand always chooses the wizard/witch.

You will always find a queue for entering olivanders but its worth the wait. Have your lunch at the three broomsticks and get a drink at hogs head pub. It's amusing to look at the owls at Owl post and at the caged monster book of monster which snarls and moves. Also, don't forget to visit the restrooms there where you will hear moaning myrtle singing :) Just as Hogsmeade ends, you get to see towering castle which houses Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. There is a bridge beside the castle which takes you to the entrance of Jurassic Park. This offers the best view of the castle and is a perfect place to capture your clicks with the dreamy castle as the backdrop.

Hogwarts houses the ride - Harry Potter and the forbidden journey. This ride mandates that things must be stowed away in the lockers provided at the entrance. On your way to the ride inside the castle, you get to see the talking and moving portraits, go by dumbledores office to the defense against dark arts classroom. Dumbledore's office is marvelous with each and every detail in place. The ride is a simulated one with sudden movements and jerks where Harry, Ron, and Hermione guides you around from the castle to forbidden forest to a Quidditch match. You get to witness dementors, the giant aragog in the forbidden forest and swoop past the castle into the Quidditch field to catch the golden snitch cheered by Hogwarts students and staff from the stand. The nighttime lights at Hogwarts which starts at dusk till park closing time is the icing on the cake. Its a must must watch. The music and the lights are treated to the ears and eyes. It feels absolutely magical to watch it.
