<P> A completely functioning full - scale replica of the Hogwarts Express was created for the Diagon Alley expansion, connecting King's Cross Station at Universal Studios to the Hogsmeade station at Islands of Adventure, manufactured by Doppelmayr Garaventa Group in the form of a funicular railway people mover . The Hogwarts Express King's Cross Station features a wall between Platforms 9 and 10, where guests can "walk through" to get to Platform 93⁄4, like in the first film . </P> <P> Other than the main rides, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is also home to gift shops and restaurants . Several of these are recreations of locations in the Harry Potter books while others have been created specifically for the park . A recreation of Hogsmeade is housed at Islands of Adventure while a recreation of Diagon Alley is housed at Universal Studios Florida . </P> <P> In the book series, Ollivanders wand shop is located in Diagon Alley, not Hogsmeade; however, installations of the shop are present in both areas of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter . The Hogsmeade area recreated the shop as "Ollivanders", portraying it as a branch of the original where Harry purchases his wand in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (known in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone). Unlike other shops in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, visitors are admitted in groups of 20 to experience the premise from the Potter series, that "the wand chooses the wizard". Similar to the first film, the wand keeper and a selected guest test a variety of wands until the right one is found . Effects include flowers drying out or a thunderstorm erupting inside the shop . Shoppers can then purchase souvenir wands . </P> <P> A recreation of the Hogwarts Express lies at the entry to Hogsmeade . The recreation features "billowing steam and an iconic whistle" and is accompanied by the conductor of the train . In the Harry Potter series the Hogwarts Express is the train used to transport students from London to Hogwarts . The "Owl Post" is a working post office (where postcards and letters will be delivered with an authentic Hogsmeade postmark) that also sells stationery, writing implements, stamps, and owl - related gifts . </P>
