YMMV / The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

• Broken Base:
  • Though Diagon Alley has been unanimously received well, the fact that it replaced JAWS remains a very controversial decision to this day, as the latter was a beloved opening day attraction with a dedicated fanbase. Many fans wonder why the area couldn't have replaced the Fear Factor Live theater or the empty patch of land between Men in Black: Alien Attack and The Simpsons Ride.
  • The fact that the show building for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is clearly visible next to Hogwarts. Is it a serious flaw that hurts the immersion of the area? Or is it just a minor little error in the area's design?
• Fan Nickname: The name is usually shortened to "Wizarding World" or just "WW" in online discussion.
• Improved Second Attempt: While Islands of Adventure's Hogsmeade was definitely well-received, there were many complaints. For example, nearly everything was exposed to the sun with very little shading, which can make the Florida heat unbearable in the summer (the fact that all of the rooftops are covered in fake snow can come off as downright comical on a hot day), and how absolutely tight the size is. The Studios park's Diagon Alley covers both these complaints by providing some much-needed shade and substantially more room to breathe.
• Just Here for Godzilla: Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley are the only reasons the Universal Studios parks get any attention at all from some people.
