Lets face it, not many lands are concealed like this. Reminds me of The Safe House, a spy themed restsurant in Milwaukee.
Happened to stumble upon this this tweet earlier. Is this actually a problem?!
In the era of GPS many people have forgotten how to use a map. Then there are those who never bothered to learn or just don't bother to use them at all. Sigh.:blank:When I worked Hogwarts Express I was astounded by the number of people who wondered where Diagon Alley was since they had been at the Studios all day and never found it.

Since they quit teaching Geography, they can't find France, China or Japan on a world globe or map either.In the era of GPS many people have forgotten how to use a map. Then there are those who never bothered to learn or just don't bother to use them at all. Sigh.:blank:
Now where could they find a world globe at Universal? Hmm.Since they quit teaching Geography, they can't find France, China or Japan on a world globe or map either.
Sometimes. I have seen them before pointing people at the hole telling them it's the entrance to Diagon Alley.This is such a funny topic. Is there an attendant TM standing outside the hole in the wall?
As someone said before, when it first opened back in 2014 there were attendants out there directing people to go in. On my last two trips, I don't recall any attendants being vocal outside the entrance. They may have been there but they were relatively quiet if they were.This is such a funny topic. Is there an attendant TM standing outside the hole in the wall?

If they don't find DA this trip then they have a reason to come back again. It is all a clever Universal plan.We used to joke about this happening with 'dumb tourist's' probably not bothering to go back there through the walls, until we actually witnessed it for real one time. We were sat on the benches at the London waterfront and a family walked past us saying 'oh look, it's the Harry Potter place'. The teenage daughter said to the parents 'what is here?' and the response was 'oh it's just that bus and some building's'. They looked at it for about 30 seconds and then walked off towards Springfield.
They're out there folks.
I thought it was worth the money. When you buy it, a map comes with it, showing all the markers.Hello! I have been planning a trip to Universal Orlando and we might be going in about 3 weeks and my son has been excited about Diagon Alley and I want to buy him an interactive wand. So, few questions, is it worth the money? and is there a video or something to tell me where to find the "markers" to set off the spells? I want to not miss anything if you get what I mean :tongue: He also have been working on a mini project on Diagon since he is excited, on minecraft and he's doing a good job in getting most of the details from photos and videos. So that would be helpful haha.
Thanks!
When you buy the interactive wand it comes in a nice antique looking cardboard box, and it has a antique looking map inside with all the locations, wand movements and incantations. The interactive areas, especially the ones in Diagon, are a blast & lot's of fun. My GF is an adult, I bought her one, and she runs around like a little kid with it, having tons of fun. So much fun. Don't miss it. (Also, the HP area on Universal's website used to have a list of the interactive areas, but I don't know if it's still on the site).....Welcome to the OU Forums.Hello!
