Hogwarts has four houses, and these hourglasses keep track of the points earned by each house over the year.
Eventually the queue heads indoors.
You can buy beers in the queue line.
A large section of the queue goes through the Herbology greenhouses. Every major theme park ride inevitably has a section of switchbacks like this, but obviously an effort has been made to work it in with the overall theme.
The first bit of the queue takes you through the dungeons. Down here is where you drop your loose items off in the free fingerprint operated lockers.
The entrance sign takes some cues from the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, with the name of the attraction magically spelled out with fibre optics.
Some clever use of forced perspective makes the castle look very imposing.
Otherwhise, one cannot fault the level of detail.
...Just avert your eyes from the back of the ride building though.
The attraction takes guests into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is the flagship attraction in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, featuring extensive immersive theming and one of the most complex ride systems ever built.
This dueling is now a part of history.
The ride previously dispatched both trains in tandem to provide a dueling effect with trains sweepign past each other at 3 near miss points. However a guest injury saw this feature removed in late 2011.
The attraction is themed around a task from the Triwizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where Harry Potter had to face off against a dragon to collect a prize.

Dueling Dragons became Dragon Challenge as part of the shift to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Honeydukes is well worth a visit if you have a sweet tooth and a bit of cash to spend.
