Any visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is an out-of-this-world experience, but thanks to these new magical enhancements, Harry Potter fans can live their wizarding and witching fantasies in a whole new way.

From 1st March, visitors can try out new interactive spell-casting across different sections of the parks, such as Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure, Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida, and – once Epic Universe opens later this year - Place Cachée in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic too!

Previous visitors to Universal Orlando Resort may be aware of the interactive wands already (in fact, you may already be an expert!) but now, you’ll be able to cast even more spells and discover new ways to unlock magical moments.

Available in four designs, these new special wands will give guests an even more immersive experience while visiting the parks’ locations. Using unique light and haptic effects, budding spell-casters can use the Universal Orlando Resort App to try out the magic, thanks to the app’s new feature, Universal Play. And there will be opportunities all across the park to cast spells, from tackling pixies in Hogsmeade to conjuring a Patronus in Knockturn Alley.

With every spell that you cast, you’ll even gain Hogwarts house points within the app, competing against fellow park-visitors during your stay. What competitive fun!

And you’ll be able to unlock new spells and document all your magical skills too – which will all appear Iin an interactive Magical Spellbook.

Visitors will be able to find the Second Generation Interactive Wands at Ollivander’s Wand Shop (naturally) and across various other locations in the resort.
