** The ride takes place during ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Deathly Hallows]]'', and numerous news posts in the queue indicate Dumbledore's death and Harry's fugitive status. This can be confusing if you ride this attraction before ''HarryPotterAndTheForbiddenJourney'', in which a living Dumbledore features prominently.
