Hi everyone! Just got back from a week at disney/universal. Spent an entire day in WWoHP. I have a few things to point out to anyone that might be interested 
I don't know what happened, but it was not crowded at all! We rode forbidden journey 3 times- once posted as 45 minutes (~30 in reality), once single rider (two couples were in front of us and did not realize that meant they couldn't ride together
) and then another time with a 25 minute wait (accurate).
After riding, it totally makes sense that you can't bring any bags on- i had my sunglasses clipped to my shirt and almost lost them! It really is an amazing ride though! We just paid $8 for a locker in front of the park to store our bags and such all day.
Ate lunch at 11:45 at the 3 broomsticks, and it was not crowded at all either. Had to wait for two people in front of us to order, and then there were tables inside and outside available. I'll give them credit here- they're extremely organized with this!
Flight of the hippogriff lasted about 10 seconds. Also not much to see while waiting on line. I wouldn't wait more then 5 minutes for it (and that was time posted at around 5:30).
We did olivanders first thing in the morning, and the TM said it was about 45 minute wait. She also said that closer to park closing, there's no one there and they try to get people to come in. When we left around 6:15, there was still a line, probably ~15-30 minutes though.
I think thats pretty much it! Hope everyone else enjoys their time there as well!
