What else to do in Diagon Alley?

Taste Butterbeer

Be sure to test out Butterbeer, a great frosty cream soda tasting treat for those hot Orlando afternoons, served in a cute souvenir mug. You can find the frosty drink at several locations including The Leaky Cauldron, The Hopping Pot, and The Fountain of Fair Fortune.

Dine at The Leaky Cauldron

The Leaky Cauldron is the main restaurant in Diagon Alley. Here you can enjoy British favorites like Fish and Chips and Bangers and Mash. The setting is set to resemble that from the movies, with replicas of the artwork.

Try Butterbeer flavored ice cream

Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour allows you to test out Butterbeer flavored ice cream!

Overall there is just so much excitement and magic that makes a visit to Diagon Alley such a memorable experience for Harry Potter fans. Everywhere you look you will see signs, merchandise, shops, and characters from your favorite movies and books. So much thought was put into the design of the shops, restaurants, and rides. Additionally, being able to keep the experience going by enjoying themed food and drink really adds to the experience. And all the shop and ride assistants do a great job of playing their roles.

If that isn’t enough, you can’t walk a few feet without seeing a park guest casting spells with their wand, dressed in Harry Potter robes, all while enjoying the lively atmosphere. Talk about feeling like you are really there! Even those who have never seen the movies can’t help getting into the Harry Potter spirit.
