HP Newbies - Which Park First?

[CodeGoddess]

We have not been to US or IOA since well before Harry Potter was built. We have two days scheduled, one of US and one for IOA. For the two days we are going crowd levels are exactly the same across both parks. Is there a better park to do first or are both so unique it's doesn't matter?

Follow the books and movies.

US first and take HE to IOA.

I agree with pp....If I could visit for the first time again I would go to Diagon Alley at US, just walking into that was jaw dropping. Then take HE to IOA and Hogsmeade. Just a note it will take twice as long to go through everything at Diagon Alley, then at Hogsmeade. Also the Olivanders experience is the same at both locations, to be more authentic go to the Olivanders in Diagon Alley. Have fun!!!
