Two lucky fans will receive an unforgettable trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort, with the chance to showcase your love for J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World as part of the entry on social media!

Universal Orlando Resort recently added the incredible Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and is home to both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, joined by a track frequented by the Hogwarts Express. The park today launched a social media competition, looking to gift two fans unforgettable trips to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Evanna Lynch gives all the details in a new video:

As Evanna explained, entry is simple: Post a photo on their social media channels of what you’d wear to the parks if you won the prize. We’re talking all-out Potter fan, so get out your Hogwarts House robes, pull out your face paints or craft your best Weasley sweater, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The two winners will be able to bring along up to three guests, and their trip will include:

  • Accommodations at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel
  • Early Park Admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter one hour before the theme parks open every day of their visit
  • 3-Day Theme Park Admission with Universal Express Passes 
  • Air travel and ground transportation from the airport

And much more!

Straight from Universal Orlando Resort, here’s how to enter, and the terms and conditions:

  1. Take a photo showing what you would wear on your visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter 
  2. Follow Universal Orlando on Instagram or Twitter
  3. Post the photo and include #WizardingWorldOrlando and #Sweepstakes

Fans must be 18 years or older to enter and only a maximum of two entries on one single social media platform will be counted.  All entries must include both hashtags and there’s no cost to enter. The sweepstakes ends on Saturday, September 28, at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Winners will be chosen at random and notified via social media following the closing of the sweepstakes. Travel dates are subject to approval by Universal Orlando, travel must be booked at least 60 days prior to the departure date and the trip must be completed by August 28, 2020.
