Universal Orlando Resort has scheduled a one-day closure for Hogwarts Express on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026. The train is currently expected to resume service Thursday, Nov. 5.
Hogwarts Express connects Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure with King's Cross Station near Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida. The themed train journey differs by direction of travel, and it is available only to guests with admission to both parks.
Guests visiting on Nov. 4 can still move between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure through the regular park entrances if their admission includes both parks, but the train itself will not operate. Hogwarts Express does not connect to Universal Epic Universe.
The announced closure does not include the resort's other Harry Potter attractions. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts are not part of the closure, subject to normal operations.
