Additional attractions include:
- Dragon Challenge – a dual roller coaster that zooms guests through selected scenes from the Triwizard Tournament.
- Flight of the Hippogriff – a family-friendly coaster that flies above Hogwarts castle
- The Owl Post – where guests can send out letters with a Hogsmeade postmark!
Other shops include: The Owlery, Dervish and Bages, Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods and more – all with official Harry Potter food, candy and “magical” merchandise available exclusively at Islands of Adventure!
There’s also the Three Broomsticks restaurant plus Hog’s Head pub, where they’ll be serving nonalcoholic Butterbeer!
