The start of the academic year is one of the most exciting times for a young witch or wizard as their journey begins from King’s Cross Station and Platform 9¾ leading to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

“Back to Hogwarts” is an opportune time to showcase your house spirit. Don a robe and strike a pose at the Hogwarts Express or raise their wands in solidarity with their individual Hogwarts house at Hogwarts Castle.

Guests can check off items on that shopping list with “Back to Hogwarts” school bundles available for purchase, including must-haves such as a backpack and journal themed to their preferred Hogwarts house as well as a Hedwig owl plush.

On Aug. 12, a specially themed Iced Biscuit will be available for purchase at Honeydukes within Hogsmeade, plus at Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop at Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando.
