This video and guide will walk you through the spells that you can perform with special interactive wands at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade at Universal Orlando.

Listen up, Harry Potter fans! We've got the complete guide to Interactive Spells at the Wizarding World! Find out where they are and see our best tips for doing all of them on your next trip.

Throughout Diagon Alley, you will find 16 interactive wand spell locations. Eleven in the greater Diagon Alley area and 5 in Knockturn Alley. Hogsmeade has 9 interactive spell locations.

You can follow along with my family in the video as we try each of these spell locations at both Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley and Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade. You can see how to use the spells and the special effects!

The interactive spells are marked with a brass medallion embedded in the ground. When you purchase your interactive wand, you will also get a map. You can follow the map to find the different locations and then look for the brass medallion embedded in the ground. Here is a list of all of the spell locations at both parks.

Diagon Alley Harry Potter Spells Locations

INSIDER TIP
There are some “hidden” spell locations! They do not have medallions marking the locations of these Harry Potter spells. Be sure to ask around to see if you can find some of them. I’ll give you your first one, it’s at Scribbulus in the second window.

Although he, his wife, and two kids visit this area quite often, they’ve also traveled to Peru, Costa Rica, on an 8,600 mile road trip around the U.S. (yes, two kids and parents in a car for 8,600 miles!), and cruises through the Caribbean. Tim has worked in the travel industry for 17 years and is currently planning his next adventure! You can follow Tim and all of his travel adventures on Jones Family Travels.
