Even the biggest Harry Potter fans wouldn't know about all the little hidden details in their favorite theme park. These are the must-see attractions when you visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
1. The entrance to Diagon Alley is very similar to the book.
It's by a unmarked wall next to a record store.
2. The perfume ad in King's Cross Station is a little bit different than how it appeared in the Half Blood Prince.
3. J.K. Rowling wrote the titles of all the songs Celestina Warbeck sings in the park.
The titles of the famous pop star of the Wizarding World's songs were all taken from titles Rowling wrote in the book.
4. A chirping bird can be heard from inside the vanishing cabinet at Borgin and Burkes.
Malfoy used one to see if he could make Death Eaters appear at Hogwarts.
5. The menus in the park restaurants were directly inspired by the books.
It took the park's executive chef three years to perfect the menu.

While waiting in line for the Dragon Challenge coaster, guests can see it sitting in the trees.
7. Voldemort can be seen on the Hogwarts Express.

8. The Hogwarts Express was built to look a little worn.
It was built in Switzerland and aged to look like it's been around for years.
9. There's a London-style phone in King's Cross.
Dialing 62442 (MAGIC) connects you to the Ministry of Magic.
10. Moaning Myrtle can be heard wailing in the bathrooms at Hogsmeade.
11. There's a small tribute to the Jaws ride at a shop near The Leaky Cauldron.
