Next to Charing Cross Road is Grummauld Place, the home of the Black family, and (non-functional) replicas of the Leicester Square tube station and Wyndham's Theatre. This includes the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron restaurant. Next to the station is a frontage designed to represent Charing Cross Road. As you walk around the lagoon from the San Francisco area of the park, the first facade you'll come across is that of Kings Cross Station, which will act as a terminal for one of the land's two new rides: the Hogwarts Express. Universal has dubbed the area the London Embankment, but actually it will be a mish-mash of different icons from the city.
So the front of the second Wizarding World will be a recreation of several London landmarks. Of course, in the movies, Diagon Alley does not face onto a lake. This means that it faces onto Universal Studios Florida's main lagoon. The new land has replaced Amity, the former site of the Jaws ride. Let's take a look at each of those areas in turn.
We've added our own indicators of where two areas that have been announced but were not marked by Universal on the map will appear. Instead, it's made up of several different sub-areas, which are shown (somewhat crudely) in Universal's official map below. The layout of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alleyĭespite its name, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley consists of much more than just a recreation of the Diagon Alley shopping street seen in the Harry Potter books and movies.

That's why we've produced this complete guode to Diagon Alley, which is divided into several parts. We've collated a huge amount of information about the rides, shops and restaurants that will feature in the new Wizarding World, and we thought it was time to organize it into a single, comprehensive resource. The first, which is a recreation of Hogsmeade village and Hogwarts Castle, is located in neighboring Islands of Adventure.
First, the basics: Diagon Alley will be the second Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. After months of speculation, we finally have a good idea of what to expect when the expansion makes its debut in summer 2014. Exictement is building ahead of the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.
