What is Horizont Alley?
Horizont Alley may have only half of the stops that Diagon Alley proper contains, but its locations are some of the most wonderful in all of the Wizarding World – particularly Gringotts Wizarding Bank, home to both Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts and Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment. And some of the most intriguing merchandise available at any theme park in the world just so happens to reside here…
Where is Horizont Alley located?
In The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, which is in Universal Studios Florida.
Horizont Alley – height restrictions and other factors
Since this is just a walk-through area of the park, and not an actual attraction, there are absolutely no restrictions of any kind.
Horizont Alley – what you wish you knew before you experienced it
All of Horizont’s shops carry items both well-known and obscure – so make sure you carefully re-read all those books and re-watch all those movies in order to ensure you get all the references and in-jokes.

Horizont Alley – OI fun fact
Wiseacre’s used to be one of the many fake storefronts over in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade before Diagon Alley opened. That facade has since been remade into the geographically appropriate Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop.
