early entry for Hard Rock Hotel

[ggroup]

At the present only Universal Studios allows early entry, correct?. Is it possible to ride the Harry Potter ride st the Studios and then take Hogwarts directly to Islands of Adventure before IoA opens? Is there then a queue at IoA to wait for Harry Potter to open? Will this work to avoid the line at the turnstiles at IoA?

Thanks for the details!

I just got back. Currently studios opens at 8:00 for normal so early is at 7:00, plenty of time to ride the ride and do just about everything you want to do in Diagon Alley. Unfortunately our second day it was down so we didn't get to ride it. We q'd for Hogwarts express around 8:40 and they let us into the station around 8:50, train did not leave until 9:00 on the dot. You do arrive around the same time the mad rush is making it into Hogsmeade. Hope that helps.

Hogwarts express isn't open for early entry and doesn't start running till IOA opening .They let you board earlier, but it doesn't leave the station for IOA till official opening time
