Hogwarts Express question

[sandyplayer]

Hi, Looking to see what time the Hogwarts express closes. If Universal closes at 7 and we want to go to Island for the last hour (they close at 8 pm), is that possible? Can I get on the Hogwarts at 6:30/45 in WWOHP?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

That should work. But check the wait time. I would think as long as you're in the King's Cross station by 6:30 they should let you go to Hogsmeade.
However there may be a lot of other people with your idea, so check that wait time, if it's 90 minutes you may want to be in line by 6:00.

Ok, i will have the express pass from the hotel so the wait should be a bit less i guess.
ty!

Express pass is least helpful on Hogwarts Express of all the rides. I’d say if you are lucky it only halves the wait time. I’d recommend just planning to make your way out of Studios at 6:45 and walk to IOA for that last hour unless you are wanting to specifically do Potter stuff that last hour.
