With the exception of your wand, you can buy all of your magical accessories for the Wizarding World ahead of time and save some serious cash. House robes, house scarves, even headbands and tshirts are easy to shop online and will save you money.

And if you don't care about having an interactive wand, you can buy that ahead of time as well.

Instead of paying for Express Pass, take advantage of strategies that will help you maximize your time. Arrive early, ride rides during meal times and plan your trip during times of year when attendance is lower.

Universal Studios tickets are expensive. If you plan to go for several days, or want to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter more than once in a year, look into a Universal Studios annual pass.

Not only will the pass save you on admission if you visit even just a few times, but it also offers discounts on food, merch and hotel stays.
