Universal Orlando Resort will officially open Diagon Alley, the expansion of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, on July 8.

The new themed land is inside Universal Studios Florida, while Wizarding World opened in Islands of Adventure on June 18, 2010.

Both are collaborations between Warner Bros., which owns the rights to the Harry Potter film franchise, and Universal, which operates the theme parks.

The Hogwarts Express train connects both lands and provides access to guests who purchase park-to-park tickets. A one-day park-to-park ticket costs $136 per adult.

Diagon Alley recreates locations in and around London from the Harry Potter books and films. In addition to the narrow streets of London’s Diagon Alley, attraction will include Gringotts bank, the Leaky Cauldron restaurant and Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes store.
