As If by Magic, These Videos Let You Ride the Wizarding World Attractions at Universal Studios

Whether you had a vacation planned to one of the Universal Studios locations or you just feel like a little bit of Harry Potter magic right now, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter isn't totally off limits despite both the Orlando and Hollywood parks remaining closed indefinitely. Thanks to previous visitors to the parks, there are tons of first-person videos of each of the four main rides you can experience at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (there are only two rides at the California park), and to be honest, it still feels pretty thrilling to "ride" them without actually moving yourself.

Keep scrolling for a video of each ride, but first, strap the kids into a laundry basket or couch cushion, then pop one of these videos on so your family can virtually ride these Universal Studios attractions together!
