Inside the Magic has a report, photos and videos from the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Unfortunately, the ride was only open for long enough for a handful of guests to enjoy it today before it shut down due to technical difficulties. This time, rather than closing off Hogwarts Castle completely, Universal left it open for guests to experience what they called a “castle tour.” So I was able to walk through the entire attraction’s queue and see all of the amazing scenes they have created. Even though I didn’t get to ride, I still feel reasonably fulfilled as the queue is like a walk-through attraction unto itself. Scene after scene offers so much entertainment that I didn’t even realize I had been in there for more than an hour this morning before finding out the ride was not running. The queue is definitely part of the experience.
