Universal Orlando Resort offers an Express Pass for certain attractions, including some (but not all) of the rides in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The Express Pass allows you to skip regular lines and access shorter lines for participating rides and attractions. That includes all of the Harry Potter rides EXCEPT for our favorite ride, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, which gets brutally long lines that were 3+ hours long when we were there in December. Oh, and even if you have early entry to the park by staying at a Universal resort, the Express Pass doesn't work until 9:00 (so after you have already been there for 1 hour), so use that hour wisely before the Express Pass kicks in by queuing for Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure or by taking advantage of the much less crowded areas of the park for photos early on before the rest of the crowds arrive and fill in every possible space. Whether you need an Express Pass depends on your preferences and the time of your visit. If you want to minimize wait times and have a more convenient experience, the Express Pass can be beneficial. However, it comes at an additional cost and it's definitely not cheap. In fact, depending on the time of year and the estimated crowds, the Express Pass can double or triple the cost of your ticket into the park!
