Harry Potter<\/strong> is a major cultural element of the 20th century; whether you\u2019re a fan yourself or the parent of one, chasing experiences related to Harry Potter can tally up quite a bill.<\/p>\n

Credit card rewards and points can greatly help us offset those expenses.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios” google_fonts=”” el_id=”the_wizarding_world_of_harry_potter_at_universal_studios”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

The Universal Studios<\/a> theme parks are the best way to immerse yourself in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.<\/p>\n

As a super fan, the moment you step in Hogsmeade and hear the movie\u2019s instrumentals playing in the background is magical and you\u2019re instantly transported to snowy Scotland.<\/p>\n

In Orlando<\/a>, Universal Studios<\/a> is a resort with different parks that are connected with none other than the Hogwarts Express. Yes, you can ride on THE train! How cool is that?<\/p>\n

The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride in the Castle was a good and memorable one; I felt like I was flying around the grounds! This ride is popular but the setups you go through while you wait is amazing. You pass across Hogwarts’ castle before reaching the ride.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”236043″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”236047″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”236045″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Also, you get to buy your own wand (as long as it chooses you) and flick it around specific spots to do some magic!<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re hungry or thirsty, you can grab a bite at the Three Broomsticks or have some Butterbeer.<\/p>\n

Universal Studios<\/a> can be quite expensive with those $8US Butterbeers, but there are a few tricks you can pull off to make your Harry Potter<\/strong> holiday more affordable.<\/p>\n

\u00adBack in 2016, the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play was written based on an original story. The tale focuses on Harry Potter<\/strong>\u2019s life and family after the end of the book series.<\/p>\n

The two-part play was initially only performed in London before moving on to Broadway in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”236053″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

Tickets were very expensive back then; if I remember correctly, it was nearly half a grand to see both parts of the show. In 2021, there have been new productions in several locations such as in Toronto<\/a> and San Francisco<\/a> that are more affordable.<\/p>\n

This Harry Potter<\/strong> play is currently still running as we speak in Toronto and is a must for any fans.<\/p>\n

Last summer, Amex gave a sweet $50 credit<\/a> for purchases above $250 at the Ed Mirvish Theatre<\/a> which is the venue for the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play.<\/p>\n

That translates to a 20% discount and you can redeem your Membership Rewards<\/a> for a statement credit to cover the cost of your tickets.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”236059″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_single_image image=”236061″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow”][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

While that offer has ended, we may see it again as the show is still ongoing until March 2023 at the least. So it would be wise to sign-up for an American Express credit card<\/a> and savour amazing bonuses and perks besides potential offers and credits like that one.<\/p>\n

Toronto<\/a> is also simple to get to from other major hubs in Canada with reward points. For a mere 6,000 Aeroplan<\/a> points from Montreal, you can spend a weekend there and enjoy the play along with the city.<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of things that can bring out the wizard in you throughout England and Scotland.<\/p>\n

The author, J. K. Rowling, is from the UK and wrote the first chapters of Harry Potter<\/strong> in a coffee shop in Edinburgh, Scotland. You can still visit it nowadays.<\/p>\n

Edinburgh itself can transport you to the world of Harry Potter even if their castle isn\u2019t exactly Hogwarts.<\/p>\n

Also in Scotland, you can hop on the Jacobite Steam Train, which is the train that is used as the Hogwarts Express in the movies! The iconic photo of this train can be taken from the Glenfinnan Railway Viaduc.<\/p>\n

The main spots are in Oxford and in London even if you can find sites around the country.<\/p>\n

In Oxford, you can locate a lot of historic buildings and backgrounds that were used in the Harry Potter<\/strong> films.<\/p>\n
