We have never been to Universal or Islands of Adventure, but we really want to see all the Harry Potter attractions. Other than the Harry Potter attractions, what is your favorite ride or restaurant or detail?
 
Absolutely The Mummy!
Character meet and greets are really cool too. If you see one happening and want to participate hop in line ASAP because they don’t last long.
Stop and watch street performances.
Hang out on Knockturn Alley as well as the Hogshead Inn patio.

The Harry Potter attractions are defintiely the best and you should love them.
Outside of them I agree with Mummy being a highlight. But also I would add Spider-Man and Transformers (same ride systems). They are some of the best dark rides anywhere.

I’m no help because I pretty much love everything about the entire Universal Orlando Resort, so much to enjoy something’s better than others but myself and my family have grown to love UOR so much!

Nostalgic favorite is ET

Newest favorite is Hagrids

Animal Actor’s is a must watch

Favorite restaurant in the parks Lombards

Thanks! I will look up Animal Actor's and Lombards!
 
I'd definitely also say Spider-man. It's amazing that a ride that is now over 20 years old still ranks as one of the best rides in the world IMO.
 
I think we will definitely want these!
If you know for sure you want them and plan to stay on property I'd look into staying at one of the premium hotels. They are close to CityWalk so easy to walk to the parks and they include Express Pass for their guests. If you are looking to keep in a set budget though you might wait until you get there and only buy them i you feel they are needed. Crowds are uncertain when things reopen right now so it could be busy or it could be slow and you wouldn't need them.
Also depending on how you feel about groups getting split on the rides there is an option o single rider on most of the rides that will usually allow you to save a lot of time from line. I went summer when Hogsmeade first opened and my friend and I used single rider a lot and it was a godsend. We were usually on Harry Potter in about 10 minutes while standby was around 3 hours (we went through the fill queue the first time and single rider after) and Spider-man was nearly 2 hours but we practically walked on. there were numerous ones where we were the only ones in the single rider line so would get on fast. Many are hidden so if you're not sure can always as a worker if there is one
 
You’ll love all the Harry Potter stuff, it’s amazing. Absolutely. Amazing. Beyond that, I agree that the Mummy is awesome, and ET is a sentimental favorite of mine, because I’ve been riding it since I was a kid.
