Do any of the HP rides / experiences in the park "spoil" how the HP story ends?

I have an 8 year old and 5 year old. The 8 year old will be finished with the books / movies by the time we go, but the 5 year old will not.

He will not be tall enough to ride Hagrid's or HPFJ. So I guess I'm wondering if Escape from Gringott's touches on anything from say books 4+.

Also, is there anything else that might "spoil" how the story ends?

We won't avoid anything, but if I know it's coming, I can run "interference" haha

Thanks
 
not as such, no. The rides borrow certain parts of the books and translate them into well.. rides( I must note I have not done Hagrid yet, it was down for us every time we were there 2 years ago). But the final battle isn’t referenced at all.
the train has a different storyline in each direction, so be sure and ride it both ways( park to park tickets are required).

Escape from Gringotts is centered around the events in book 7 though the line works just fine for someone who only knows book 1. While I was worried it'd spoil it for my youngest, it really didn't. I'm sure he wondered what was going on but it didn't impact his enjoyment of the books. There's a big fire breathing dragon on top of Gringotts that's impossible to avoid so you'll have to figure out how you're going to handle that. Once you figure that out, apply the same logic to the ride. :)
eta- it won't ruin the ending of the series at all.

Thanks. Ya, the dragon can be explained away as "dragons live in this world"

Based on what you said, I think we'll be fine....as long as my oldest can keep his "spoiler" mouth closed!
