Harry Potter Theme Park Prices on Tickets and Magical Items

“The Muggle economy is tanking”, that is what we hear all around us. So we thought it would be vital for the visitors of the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, to know how much they can expect to shed out while enjoying and roaming the streets of Hogwarts and the Rooms of Hogsmeade?

Harry Potter Money is Galleons

Harry Potter Money is Galleons

The short answer to that question is Some items are priced fair and some items are priced not for “The Weasley’s”. If you remember the Weasley family were always struggling to make ends meet.

We all know that this “once in a lifetime” trip to Orlando Florida to visit Harry Potter Theme Park, will cost quite a bit. Hotels stays, Airline tickets, Food, all those can add up to a hefty bill that some are not sure they can afford.

A popular saying in this situation is “You can’t put a price on memories”. Well that is exactly what we will attempt to do.

So to start off, you will have to get in the Islands of Adventure. Two options to do that. One Park pass and Two park pass(lets you get inside Universal Studious Orlando, Florida)

One Park Pass is $79 a day for adults and $69 a day for children
Two park pass is $109 a day for adults and $99 a day for children

Once you are in through the gate and passing by the Hogwarts Express, you will find yourself inside the Hogsmeade Village. That is where the fun begins as your eyes start to look at 360 degrees of stores and opportunities to spend some Galleons. At Zonko’s joke shop expect to spend $15 for a pair of Sneakoscopes.

If you have decided to take your young wizards to the Olivander’s magic wand shop and by the way let us urge you to do so, it should be an amazing experience, please read our extended review of it.
You can expect to leave from $25 to $120 depending on the quality of the wand. A very important detail is you DO NOT have to purchase a wand in order to experience the wand choosing process.

Dervish and Banges is where the Wizarding community gets it’s school supplies, Quidditch gear and magical wizarding equipment. You can score a Firebolt broomstick for a hefty price of $300. Plus probably the cost couple of broken vases when your young ones try to master the intricacies of flying it inside the house. Thanks to close supervision by the Potter films’ design team, everything looks and feels precisely right, down to the absurdly high shelves and cramped, English-style layouts. In other words, expect some tight crowds.

    I think this will cost a hell of a lot but I would love to go. I think it would be amazing to go to Ollivanders and to the shops we all know. I think this park is a fantastic idea yet very pricey indeed.I think it will cost you at least a few thoushand.

    That is ridiculous and I think your quite rude actually. This theme park is not going to do well because of its insane prices. The Harry Potter Theme Park may be an amazing idea but it will just turn into a giant financial mistake on the part of Universal Studio’s. I would highly suggest that you lower your prices.

    Has it ever occurred to you guys that not every body has $300 dollars to spend on basically nothing? You know today $300 can do a lot and it’s a disgrace to think that someone would even think about charging this much money on something that is more than likely going to break. Sounds very sensible huh? Some people are in deep need of a reality check. Ugh.

    This is ridiculous. My daughter Samantha was really hoping to come to this park ,but because of these hefty prices my husband and I can’t afford to take her. I think Universal Studios needs to apologize to all the children like my daughter who will not be able to visit the park because of the prices. Please remember that we muggles are in a recession which is why we cant even afford admission.

    I feel bad for those children that will have their hearts broken when their parents can’t afford their wand. You know it’s going to happen quite often with the present wand choosing system that is in place. I also did not go on a busy day. I’m curious how they can truly deal with a massive crowd.

    This was definitely one of the more pricey amusement parks around. Considering it is so specialized and smaller than most.

    The park looks amazing! I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and have read all the books. I wish I could go but my family can’t afford to go at the moment . The park does look incredible though and I’ll be doing all in my power to try to go see it. I bet I’d spend a fortune on all the items for sale. I think you should lower the prices or experience a great financial loss.

    To get to this park it would cost me the deposit on my house. I would have to pay flights, hotel, and everything that comes with getting from the UK to USA. not cheap to start with for 5 people. Then the cost of a family of 5 just to get into the park….then all the extras, I could try and say no..but how many tears!!! the best thing to do is not go. It’s a real same, it sounds a fantastic place to visit, but only if you are really rich…

    July 31st, 2010 at 3:34 pm.

    One. The broomsticks that cost $300 are MOVIE REPLICA QUALITY broomsticks. Yes, they are expensive… but to some fans, it is worth the cost.
    Two. They have less expensive broomsticks that run about $25-30. They are the same size, but at a lesser quality than the $300 broomsticks. Your kid can still get a broomstick without having to spend $300… so stop complaining and DO YOUR RESEARCH.
    Three. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to run a theme park? Not only are you buying all the food, drinks, toys, souvenirs, etc.. in order to re-sell them… but you have to pay the staff, maintain all the roller coasters and other small rides to keep them safe and up to code.. and the list goes on and on. I mean, really, if you think these prices are outrageous, then you should probably go out and get a job. By truly budgeting yourself and saving money for a year or less, you would be able to afford this. Unless you’re in massive amounts of credit card debt, which you probably are… because you’re American. You fail.

    This is soo annoying! I have 3 sisters so that means my parents would have to go to and we will all want some joke toys , a broomstick and a wand (plus every thing eles they are trying to sell with a huge price tag) And then there is the flights and hotels and food! It will all cost too much!
    As soon as I saw the adverts i really wanted to go but now i know that i will never be able to ! :(

    Dont care abt cost, this is the life time experience. If u do like – “oh that is too costly” then wht will u experience. Lets suppose it costs 1billion-billion USD to make all 7 parts of Harry Potter and Hogwarts , and if god give me a wish to choose betN 2 billion-billion USD and in other hand Harry’s world then i’ll choose Harry coz i m nt selfish and u cannt compare Harry’s world. I m feeling so bad for those who cannt afford this. :-(

    I just love Harry Potter, I have read each of the books at least 10 times, and seen each of the movies made so far (still awaiting Deathly Hallows to be released in theatres). I really want a Gryffindor based room, and was thinking the best place to buy Harry Potter things would be Harry Potter theme park… Sadly though it sounds extremely expensive so I will probably never be able to make it :( Still, I keep wishing to be able to go to the world of my dreams :) It all just sounds crazily amazing!!! Kudos to everyone who can afford to go and live their dreams in the real world.

    I wish, but no hannah. you have to go to hogwarts training for them to actially work. but inside ollivanders, the wand does work only for those 3 spells. (someetimes lol)

    September 15th, 2010 at 11:48 am.

    A Disney one day pass is $87 and change, so it’s just a matter of which park you think will give you the best bang for your buck. Yes, it will be a once in a lifetime experience for most, but not so out of line prices when compared to other theme parks.

    And would I buy a broom at $300 if it DID fly? If it gets me back and forth to work faster, I’d buy it.

  30. Linzi

    September 20th, 2010 at 1:07 pm.

    I would love to go but if the shops are going to cost so much, I don’t think I’ll bother.
    We recently found out about a school trip to Iceland that’s going to total £720 for five days and that’s probably cheaper than spending one day at this theme park.

    Why wait for a recession before opening such an expensive park?!
    It’s careless planning.

    I don’t understand why everyone is complaining. The regular park costs are the same if not close to these prices anyways. And as far has flight and hotel. You don’t need to stay at universal studio’s hotels. You can find a much cheaper hotel close by to stay at and walk maybe 10 or 15 minutes, or even god forbid take a local bus. Now when it comes to flight you can go on expedia.com and find a cheap flight. Like the other guy said……DO YOUR HOME WORK!!!. I think that the prices are just fine. Ok fine you can’t take your child to the park right away. So save up your nickles and pennies and go in a year or two. The park isn’t going to disappear. I think that they facility looks incredible and I will continue to be successful for many years to come. This is one of your best ideas yet. I works for children and parents. I doesn’t matter what age you are. If you have read the books and love them then you will love it just as much and be able to appreciate the intricate beauty that is the harry potter adventure!!! Thank you Universal Studio’s!!!!!!!!

    My kids would dearly love to visit the Harry Potter Theme Park, and my youngest is full of excitement at the idea of the experience. Unfortunately looking at these figures, it is going to be out of our price bracket, and undoubtedly many others will feel the same way. My family would love to experience the Harry Potter magic, but unless there is a serious price review from Universal, we aren’t going to get that opportunity. Shame.

    I have just purchased flextickets for our visit to Orlando next week. We paid £163 for 14 day unlimited passes to universal studios, islands of adventure, wet n wild, sea world & aquatica. This works out as roughly £11 a day on parks – it needn’t be expensive if you know where to look!

    I am coming from Universal Studio this is my 2nd time going to Harry Potter and I have 3 kids and husband we ate at the 3 Broomsticks for 89.00 and got on all the rides brought gifts we were in the park will Harry Potter. There is a line to get in you have to wait 2 hours before you get in “That is the money maker for Universal Studio so many people you have to wait in line for everything.” Very popular my kids enjoyed themselves and it cost me about 200.00 for food and gifts no wand and no broom lines were too long wonderful place will go again

    See a few shows, ride a few rides, spend even more on JUNK you could get from the Noble Collection at cheaper and better quality rates!!!

    You know, the theme park got A LOT of funding for this, and it’s a shame it’s not better. I expected more.

    And to everyone who asked, brooms and wands do NOT work! Duh.

    To those of you complaining out costs, here are some options:

    - get over the cost of admission…these kinds of parks always cost a lot to get into! Try getting a multi-park pass to cut the costs
    -with regard to food…it is always overpriced in big amusement parks! Consider going to the local grocery store and making lunches to take into the park with you.
    - souvenirs are also always overpriced…try setting a maximum amount per kid. Children get bored with souvenirs after a month so there is no point putting yourself in debt for a $100 wand or $300 broomstick if you cannot pay for it at that moment. Perhaps, being limited on what they can have will be a good lesson for children who expect to get everything they want…the real world doesn’t work that way! For the parents that can pay for the $300 broomstick…go for it!

    AND to all the people complaining about total cost of the trip…sorry holidays (especially with children) are costly! If you can’t do it this year, start saving up for next year.

    Okay, I have to say the Harry Potter Theme Park is awesome, and that I totally LOVEEEE Harry Potter, but seeing from all the stuff you have to pay for, I’m kinda having second thoughts about it. P.S Does the broom really fly because if not, your practically just buying a broomstick for $300.

    February 9th, 2011 at 3:03 pm.

    This is so silly! Me and all my friends were planning to go here for our holiday to have a good time but we cant afford to get in even though we have been saving and saving. This is an awful price tag and must be put down for the real fans benefit! Everytime we see the advert on the telly we just cringe, I bet they are too scared to put the price on and nobody will come! Such a rip off and all these people and children who really want to go have their Harry Potter dreams crushed infront of their eyes when they see the price of this theme park.
    DISGRACEFUL!!

    My husband and I are bringing our three children to Harry potter world in august, we’re coming from Australia to see it so please don’t complain about the hefty price as most of you are locals, you’ve known for as long as we have that it was being built so let’s face it real Harry potter fans have had a very long time to save for this amazing park, we have nothing like this in Australia so we think you’re incredibly lucky over there and so what if a broomstick will cost $300 (don’t buy it, it’s that simple). 24 weeks to go and counting down the days

  49. Cindy

    March 8th, 2011 at 4:05 pm.

    People complaining about the prices obviously haven’t even been to Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure, etc. If you go one theme park then you should know how the rest work. Theme parks are not cheap. At all. Just because they are selling a $300 broom doesn’t mean you HAVE to buy it. And they have cheaper ones. If you’re taking kids then have a limit on what they can buy. If you’re going with friends then save up. And try to LOOK UP prices on MULTIPLE websites instead of seeing one and then making up your mind not to go. Also you don’t have to go to the park immediately. It will still be there. And you can get a fairly decent priced hotel right across the street of Universal AND most will have a bus shuttle that will take you there and pick you up for free. Look into things before freaking out and complaining that you can’t go or refuse to buy something.

    Also the “does the broom really fly/does the wand really work?” questions are ridiculous. Do you really think they do?

    March 21st, 2011 at 5:04 pm.

    Don’t even get me started on Harry potter. That is my favorite book/ movie/ tv character/ etc. We all love all this and now they made a theme park to go with it. I want to go there so bad and basically cannot go one day without thinking about half of this stuff. It makes me sad to think I will probably never be able to go there. Although I live in Florida so I could drive 2 and a half hrs to get there and not have to buy a plane ticket, I’ll only have to get a cheap hotel nearby and can pretty much afford my own pass to the park. My older sister already went on a school trip and my other sister is too young to be into this stuff. My mother would take me she could buy her ticket. As you can see the things tere are pretty privy as well but keep in mind the park has to make money some how. So when and if I go, I will buy a limited amount if things. That will be enough memoryand then take pictures of all the rest. That would make me the happiest person on the world. Well one if then I still am OBSESSED with the Harry Potter cast and would die to meet them. Pray for me to let all this come true. I’ll wiln pray for you all as well. Best of luck to everyone and maybe I’ll see you there! Talk to you soon, Kaitlin

    It is really shameful that so many Americans are on this site just to complain about the prices. Who cares if you are the biggest Harry Potter fan in the world? So is every other person reading this post. Just because you feel like you deserve to pay less for the park doesn’t mean that it’s going to magically happen. So parents, suck it up. Make your teenage kids get jobs (like we did in the good ole’ days) and help you pay for the trip.

    Why is it in America when Harry Potter is a British film. That’s what I want to know. My partner and I would love to go to this but in reality won’t be able to afford it, which is such a pity. But to be honest, with a broomstick costing $300, it seems like a dangerous idea to go anyway!

    I would love to go to Ollivander’s too, but as soon as the man gave me my wand, I’d have to have it! I couldn’t not buy it after that ceremony, and I’m 20. Imagine how a child would feel if their parent didn’t buy it for them because of the price. You should lower it for definate. The park looks amazing though!

    We’ll sounds wonderfulll, except for the prices of course, I’ll just have to hope that my dead parents left me some money in ther bank. XD (and do you guys really think they could get the brooms to fly? Thats all movie magic its just gonna be a highly decorated thing to sweep the floor with.)

    why do we have to get a park pass? do we have to get a new one every day? will the pass let us into all of disney land? how much is a hotel in orlando? is there hotels in disney land? ALL THIS NEEDS TO BE COVERED ON THIS WEBSITE.

    If the park’s prices mean that the only wizards and witches who can afford to attend are from the house of Slytherin then you must wonder who’s running it.

    Everything is so expensive, make things more affordable or else I dont believe you would get a lot of people with such absured prices, unlike most people there are actually people who want to go there to enjoy it, spend money, but in my case we will be dead at the end of the year just because of a one day trip. Please make this more affordable… like you said this is a once and a life time chance and Im already using all of my piggy bank money.

    This tells me nothing. What’s the difference between one park pass and two park pass? And how much is it for hotels around the area? Stuff like that. I want to know a general amount for EVERYTHING.

    Will the theme park be showing the last film on the 15th of July? We are visiting Orlando from Scotland and would like to see the film in Orlando

    The park is way too expensive! How do they expect familys to pay these sort of prices? Kids around the world must have been joyful when they heard about the park but now must be dishearted to find out that their parents can’t afford to take them. Its like saying only rich families can go, and poor people like us have got no chance, not unless you sell your house and car if you own them! its pass a joke!
    The theme park knows that every kid would want a wand so they put up the prices highly and why would you buy an broomstick if all it does is sit in a corner of your room? you may has well make your own wand and firebolt – it would be much cheaper!

    Yes, it is sad that some persons will not be able to go(I can still hope!) I hope in the future I might be able to go,There is no reason to argue over a price you can’t change. If you really wanted to go you’d save the money then go! Ive been saving since I first heard of the park!

    I went to the Harry Potter theme park recently and it was AMAZING! From the cool rides…to the butterbeer (tastes better frozen)…….we only went for a day but we got to see everything! The shops were very small but everything was sooo worth it!

    Look, you can’t seriously expect the one of a kind Harry Potter theme park to be cheap. Seriously, is Universal Studios cheap? No. Is DisneyWorld cheap? No. So why would this be? Oh and do you seriously think you can fly on a broomstick that you buy from there? Seriously?

    My boyfriend is 38 and I’m saving up for him to go on his next birthday. We’re driving down there and back but also getting a hotel for a few days. This site didn’t really tell me anything useful but thanks anyway. It’ll be a wonderful experience for the both of us. Good thing we’re both adults and understand we can’t have everything in the world. We make enough just to get buy so I’ll be saving for a year before we can go, but it will be worth the wait.

    The brooms do not fly… If you think they do, you’re obviously not the brightest.

    For the people complaining… Get a job, save some money, and be responsible. If you can’t afford it, then get over it. Not many people can and I couldn’t afford it instantly either. I need to save and save before I get the chance to go. Just be thankful for what you have.

    The only smart comment I read was the one about why they made the theme park in the US instead of the UK. Probably because Americans spend their money easier. Though there are a lot of cool parks and rides in your neck of the woods too.

    Everyone who is being RUDE to the people who are saying the prices are ridiculous-SHUT UP!!! Just because you CAN afford it doesn’t mean everyone can. Everything is highly priced, maybe not unfairly so because it is an expensive idea but did you ever consider that they don’t have the money and are expressing their opinions? As for the prices-the park will probably get more visitors if the prices were lower. Everyone who is commenting on this is a Harry potter fan so respect them if you are too. If your not, get off this website and go harass other people.

    Good god!! Firstly I was there when the Wizarding world had only been opened A few days and its not that expensive!!! If your are from the uk your not going for the day you will be on your hols anyway and if you had any sense you would have bought the 14 day pass for £180 per person. It is only a part of a theme park! It’s no more expensive than disney or even Alton towers, the wands were saw were all around $30 which didn’t seem extortionate and the stuff in the shops wasn’t overpriced. Berth botts beans were about $10 a box, not much more than a normal pack of jellybeans. If your planning on visiting Orlando then your likely to be spending, it’s a given, if you don’t like it DON’T GO!!

    I just want to go into Dervish and Banges and buy every article of clothing that is Ravenclaw related AND most importantly: a Quaffle. Ah I’d really love to go. If I won the lottery I’d bring over about four empty suitcases and buy everything :) Until then I think I’ll survive ;)

    I think it is a great idea but quite pricy but they need that money to run the theame park. If you don’t have the money don’t go and stop being bitchy on your stupid comments.

    Everyone moaning on here probably lives WAY closer than me. I’m from England and your looking at £400 for one way to America…

    Also I’d guess all of you are older than me- I’m personally saving up so I can go here, Harry Potter has been my childhood. If I had kids and they wanted to go- I’d save up for them and bloody take them.

    Oh btw- for all you people who have commented if the brooms are real… I’d be doing my paper round on one if they were…

    HARRY POTTER = MY LIFE <3 BUT THIS PRICES ARE SILLY !! :'( I dont live that far from orlando, I live in Guatemala… but anyway the airline tickets are expensive, and all the other costs are as well ! I've had dreams with this holidays and I barely sort of cry when I wake up. this trip woul sound extemely expensive even for the malfoy's, and i'm not that, neither a weasly, but can be sure that perhaps more than half of harry's girnggots vault would be emptied in this :'(
    I'll tell my parents to save next year, wait till the park's less crowdy and hopefully prices lower !!! :D IM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD FOR THAT DAY :')

    For all of you complaining about prices just to be jerks, shut up and don’t go then! They have to make money to keep it going! Use your tax money to take you child(ren) I mean you can save money if you don’t blow it! We don’t make a lot I’m a stay at home mom, but we take our son to the beach every year and we decided we wanted to save up and go to the WWHP and yeah prices are high but your child having the once in a lifetime experience shouldn’t have a price tag!
