The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios is a dream come true for any Harry Potter fan. From the cobblestone streets of Hogsmeade to the majestic Hogwarts castle, every detail is perfectly recreated. And, one of the most magical things you can do at the Wizarding World is cast spells!
To cast spells, you’ll need an interactive wand. Now, you can purchase these wands at Ollivanders or at gift shops throughout the Wizarding World. Once you have your wand, simply point it at one of the many spellcasting locations throughout Hogsmeade and say the corresponding spell.
The Spells
There are over 25 spellcasting locations in Hogsmeade, so you’re sure to find one that you’ll love. Some of the most popular spells include:
Wingardium Leviosa: Levitate a feather in front of you.

Aguamenti: Make water pour out of a fountain or spout from the mouth of a frog.
Reparo: Repair a broken object.
Incendio: Light a torch or fire.
