Since you're a guy, you probably don't know a funny spot I found. Right across from the common space where the owls are perched on the ceiling planks there is a bathroom. Inside the women's bathroom there is a stall that has an out of order sign on it. If you listen, you can hear Moaning Myrtle.
You missed the best part of the shrunken heads easter egg: if you cast Mimble-Wimble on the heads while theyre singing "Show me the way to go home", theyll stammer for a minute and then sing it again, but change the lyrics to "We'll show you how to go home. We're tired of you messing with our heads." Also, another cool thing, the Leaky Cauldron sign leaks. Stand under it and it will drip on you!
We were just there this past weekend and I didn’t get to see hardly anything in diagon alley. My wife was all about the leaky cauldron and the gringotts ride. I would have loved to spend several hours there just looking at stuff.
@@thegamingturtle4373 I don't..but Hermione ain't no damsel in distress.. She's powerful and strong and smart like Mulan or Belle..2 of the only princesses featuring powerful qualities
I saw a guy wearing a T-shirt that said "avada kedavra b*tch!" on the back. I started laughing. I'm sure Universal does NOT sell it in the parks or City Walk!
Happy to say we knew about all of these. Thanks to watching your vlogs before we went. We missed a few of them while we were there due to timing or crowds, but the extra attention they give to details is amazing! Thanks for another great vid!
Rick, I find it a bit amusing that nobody thinks about walking entirely around the Knight Bus. When I went there with some family friends, we explored the entire thing and to our surprise, you could stand on the staircase. I was surprised by the sheer level of detail put into it right down to the chandelier and beds. Glad you mentioned the bus.
I think my favorite were the elixirs. Tried 3 out of 4 and saved the bottles for our HP display. The shrunken heads were cool too. I probably wouldn't have wandered back there if I hadn't seen them in your earlier vlogs.
Hey Rix! Did you know you can talk to the troll at the Gringotts bank, where you exchange your money? Love the secrets! My boyfriend and I love looking for all the secrets. I love the Daily Prophet secret!
wow u are the only TH-camr I've seen to ever mention you can go in the back of the purple bus!! .i'm excited I'm on vacation I'm doing it tomorrow ha . thanks
They should hide the 7 Horcruxes around the park and if you find them all you get a cool prize like a official letter to Hogwarts sent to you in the mail or a bunch of that cool Gringotts money
Thanks for the Great information. Did you know that you can also talk to the banker and he will answer your question. We missed you during our trip. But coming back December 7 & 8 to use our other two days of Universal tickets. Maybe will we see you then.
Vicki Story Yes because I did go in and talk to him we were down there just after Christmas. That was one of my favorite things and most especially going down knockturn alley! We were at the Friday after Christmas and I would not recommend it unfortunately because it was very crowded! It was nice going into this part of the park though at night since they were open later. It was actually one of the least crowded places in the park because there’s not an actual ride there except for the Gringots Bank and they actually have some benches too unlike much of the rest of the park! I say it would be nice if they can add more branches all over the place, some of us like to occasionally sit down! This is a nice area to go to just for sightseeing shopping and a little snack!
Great Top 6 as always - love learning all these new tips. Didn't know about the secret wand spots or shrunken heads singing 👍🏻 few things there to look out for
We just went to Universal. It was amazing! I have been watching these videos just waiting for next time we go and I have discovered so many new secrets! Thanks!
@@RixFlix Are those Shrunken Heads in Knockturn Alley interactive? If they are, when I get there, I am going to start them off. If you know what I mean.
i have been at diagon alley twice and never noticed the window creature Lol . I am in a hurry always since people that always go with me don't like harry potter to appreciate this section . Since I will go on summer again this video was really helpful to learn more . Thank you 😌
I would just bring a water bottle and buy the elixir to mix in it. I wanted to try it but I couldn’t get myself to spend that $ also. When you could just buy another butterbeer for that price!
Loved the video is it your first video on the wizarding world? My daughter and i are heading over for the first from Australia in November im quite nervous but would love know more about the discounts and what passes are best etc
No, I have a whole playlist on my channel for Harry Potter videos. Go to the main page on my channel and go to "playlist" and look for the Harry Potter one.
Rick you mind me asking where the opening of the video was filmed? I’m planning to go to Universal Studios and I really enjoy cars and specifically Ferrari and in the background inside the glass of that shop there is a Ferrari logo and racing numbers, where might that be?
Last year my son kevin was hit by a car trying to prevent his little brother (Kevin jr) from getting hit by a truck. He got hit anyway. We took both of em to diagonal alley after they got out of intensive care. It was a nice trip and we surely will return someday.
If you don't mind me asking what kind of camera do you use? We're going to universal in August and I would love to start making vlogging videos of our trips!
If you have a Preferred Pass or the Premier Pass you get discounts in park and City Walk on merchandise and food. I think the Preferred Pass is a 5% discount and the Premier is higher (I think 10%). With food, not every place gives a discount, so you just have to ask at the time you're seat. In fact, any time we are about to pay for anything, we ask just to make sure.
I love the secret want spots can't wait to try it out when I go in December and I so wanna be part of the dance show lol thanks for all the tips it always helps out I jus hope I can still get that free gift card when I go
Thanks for watching and commenting. With the gift cards, it just depends if they are testing new shows when you are there. The last show I reviewed is now on TV....Manifest.
You can GO ON THE BUS???? OMG I am dying!!! We just got back a week ago. Crap literally in tears! The kids & I chatted with the voodoo Dre Head, took a photo, & left. Bummer :/
This is so freaking awesome. I’ve been here TONS of times and never really explored the way I wanted to. I see now that there’s much more to see. Can’t decide what was coolest but I’m super excited about the fact that you can get money at Gringotts and use it elsewhere. I absolutely cannot wait to go do that.
Do you have a list made up with all of your must dos for Universal/IOA/HPW? My daughter and I are visiting the parks in a couple weeks and want to do all of the things you’ve mentioned in your videos!
Neat video rix especially the shrunken heads singing the song from Jaws after quent tell them about the suburban us Story while Jaws is underneath the boat trying to punch a whole in the boat rix IAM glad you are feeling better
Omg I didn’t know there were different patterns for kreacher but we were lucky enough to catch him peaking out! But damn I wish we’d known about the back of the knight bus. That’s probably the one thing we missed out of the things you’ve mentioned (minus the secret wand spots buuut we didn’t buy a wand so it wouldn’t have really mattered haha)
Shocked you didn’t see the shrunken head voice actor when you peeked into the bus. I wonder where he’s actually hidden bc when he was talking to me I know he could see me 🤣
They give you a map of locations when you buy the wand. But if your bringing your kids be prepared to be pushed around by alot of immature adults not allowing young kids to enjoy the activities
With the gringotts money I thought they would use the gallions sickles and knuts thing but with plastic coins which would've been cool but I think the bank notes work better as well.
There is one thing that I heard about ... idk if it is true If you want to be chosen at Olivanders, at the beguining at the show do a strange noise or a funny face ... it has worked with a friend of mine.
My family is "muggles", and I am partially. When we went to Universal, if I hadn't known where the entrance was for the Diagon Alley, and it's ride -- because of TH-cam videos, we would have walked right past it. Not a very good marketing/design decision.
I think it's pretty random. I think they look for kids first and I'm sure it's helpful if the kids looks at the host and looks engaged with what's happening.
I have facilitated it for an adult before. They held us back after the group went through and performed a quick version for her as well. Made the entire trip. Talk to an employee while on line. I've also been selected when there was no one else in line lol
Wear Harry Potter apparel and look super excited. Wearing a “it’s my birthday pin” is the biggest ticket though. I went on my actual birthday and got picked! I’m 31 and it was still so magical :)
I am watching to see if I missed something on my trip to Universal a few years ago. And yea. I didn't know you could get on the bus. Or about creature in the window. I need to go back now.

Not buying you any coffee, dude. Last thing your teeth need. At 2:30, what color is that?

Whoah where!

Stan the Man tbf she looks like a female Harry too in he movies lol.

Also, another cool thing, the Leaky Cauldron sign leaks. Stand under it and it will drip on you!
I wonder how many people are aware that during the daytime the Knight Bus is supposed to have normal seats on it...the beds only appear at night.
The one who read book are.
We were just there this past weekend and I didn’t get to see hardly anything in diagon alley. My wife was all about the leaky cauldron and the gringotts ride. I would have loved to spend several hours there just looking at stuff.
It's an amazingly themed place, that's for sure.
I want a shirt that says: I don’t want a Disney princess I want Hermione
Love it.
That crazy kid Davey order it on Etsy!!
Why do yall hate disney

Your a great youtuber
How are you so underrated?
We wizards don't use bills. We use galleons, sickles, and knuts. I don't understand you muggles but you are interesting.
Muggles are interesting indeed
They didnt listen when I said Diagon Alley was in the wall
I agree, they are quite strange. They act as though they have never seen a house elf.
They ingenious, one of them helped me to get past one of those gate things at a train station the other day
I agree as well.
@@mompernl god yes,like whats so weird to them?
Happy to say we knew about all of these. Thanks to watching your vlogs before we went. We missed a few of them while we were there due to timing or crowds, but the extra attention they give to details is amazing! Thanks for another great vid!
Thank you....and it's easy to miss stuff because it is sensory overload when you walk into Diagon Alley.
Knockturn Alley of course! I loved the “gift” shoppe that is there! Nice skulls for sale, thanks for the video!
Sure thing, thanks for participating in the comments!
Rick, I find it a bit amusing that nobody thinks about walking entirely around the Knight Bus.

Yep, think I'm hooked on getting the elixirs now.
We didn’t get the elixirs. Didn’t even know it was a thing :( I got the water bottle tho

Excellent video. Always nice to be reminded of the little hidden gems at Universal.
Diagon Alley has some much going on, sometimes you just can't catch every detail.
The last time I was in Orlando, Florida they were building Diagon Alley...I cannot WAIT to go back. Until then, I'm watching your videos :-) Thanks
wow u are the only TH-camr I've seen to ever mention you can go in the back of the purple bus!! .i'm excited I'm on vacation I'm doing it tomorrow ha . thanks
Awesome, enjoy your vacation.
prettyyypoison1 it is the Knight Bus
Its. The. KNIGHT BUS!!!!!!!!
They should hide the 7 Horcruxes around the park and if you find them all you get a cool prize like a official letter to Hogwarts sent to you in the mail or a bunch of that cool Gringotts money
Love this idea!
Thanks for the Great information. Did you know that you can also talk to the banker and he will answer your question. We missed you during our trip. But coming back December 7 & 8 to use our other two days of Universal tickets. Maybe will we see you then.
Thanks, I forgot about the banker answering questions. The 8th would be the more likely day, as we go to Universal on Sat or Sun.

Awe, sorry you missed seeing it in person. I think that is just so clever of Universal to do that.
Another Great video, we will definitely check this stuff out the next time we are down there!
Thank you. I enjoyed making this one.
Great top 6! I'll definitely have to try those secret wand spots! Oh how I miss Universal!!!❤️
Thank you :)
Omg ive been already a missed all of these.. Thank you so much.. Ill be going in 2 weeks..
Well, now you you know and knowing is half the battle :)
Totally forgot about the wizarding money when we there! And didn't know about the dragon poop lol. And thanks for the coke!
Sure thing, Rachel.
I've been watching a bunch of your vids before our trip next month on the 25th! So excited. Maybe we will see you there Rick!
HOW DID I NOT KNOW YOU COULD GO IN THE BUS!!!!
Now you know, don't forget about it next time you're there.
You can't go in. You can just look in
Ashleigh Benois I did. Victory dance
Literally came here to write the same thing in all caps.
I didn’t know that either 😱😭

That's awesome. So close.
This was an awesome video!! Been to universal an insane amount of times, and never knew some of these things! Will definitely subscribe!!
This is awesome! I'm going in April and I'm super excited to check these out especially the secret wand spots. Thanks for the info.
Sure thing, enjoy your trip😎
Great video! Great list!! Loved the potions and the secret wand spots. Can't wait to try both on our next trip!
Thanks Tara, Nikki didn't even know about the potions until she watched the vlog.
@@RixFlix I had no idea either! Also didn't know about the homage to Jaws with the shrunken heads.

Love the hidden wand spots
It's funny how enjoyable doing those wand spots is.
I really enjoy the theme park video, I am to old to go any more - so it's nice to see some of what I miss.
I have never been to Diagon Alley, so I appraised all the tips. I liked the 2 secret spell places
I wish The Shrunken Heads would sing "The Lullaby of The Bells". A song that appears in 1943's The Phantom of the Opera.
That would be cool.
@@RixFlix Are those Shrunken Heads in Knockturn Alley interactive? If they are, when I get there, I am going to start them off. If you know what I mean.
It's one of the interactive wand spots.
@@RixFlix So, how would I go about teaching those Shrunken Heads "The Lullaby of The Bells", from 1943's version of The Phantom of the Opera?
This video was so helpful!! Please make more like this!!!
Actually, soon doing something similar for Hogsmeade
i have been at diagon alley twice and never noticed the window creature Lol . I am in a hurry always since people that always go with me don't like harry potter to appreciate this section . Since I will go on summer again this video was really helpful to learn more . Thank you 😌
Hey great video rix as always I wanna say I was there that day if this was just recorded on Wednesday I thought I saw you in Diagon alley
Yep, that was the day, that was probably me.
Rix Flix well next time I say hi if I see you but keep up the great work you guys are doing an awesome job
Never knew about the back of the Knight Bus! We will have to check it out the next time we're there!
There's a lot going in London/Diagon Alley...hard to catch everything.
$8.75 for water. Am I the only one who refuses to do this? No matter how much I love Harry Potter.
You are in a theme park after all. Disney is no better. At least the water comes with flavoring. Disney's just comes with water.
Maxpower water with flavor is not water
I would just bring a water bottle and buy the elixir to mix in it. I wanted to try it but I couldn’t get myself to spend that $ also. When you could just buy another butterbeer for that price!
The shrunken heads singing the jaws song is cool. I’m going in March. I’ll have to check it out.
It make take a few turns of other songs, but it's there and a great homage to the old attraction.
Loved the video is it your first video on the wizarding world? My daughter and i are heading over for the first from Australia in November im quite nervous but would love know more about the discounts and what passes are best etc
No, I have a whole playlist on my channel for Harry Potter videos. Go to the main page on my channel and go to "playlist" and look for the Harry Potter one.
My daughter loves your videos!
LOVED the hidden wands & Easter Eggs info! Tx!
Rick you mind me asking where the opening of the video was filmed? I’m planning to go to Universal Studios and I really enjoy cars and specifically Ferrari and in the background inside the glass of that shop there is a Ferrari logo and racing numbers, where might that be?
Universal’s Hollywood Blvd, near the bourne show
That song is also a classic to be sung at the end of family parties here in the UK .
Such and great and fun video!! I can't wait to go back to Universal! :D
Thank you Emmy!
This Saturday I’m heading to Orlando to go to Harry Potter World for my birthday. I will definitely be checking these out!!
Will need to watch again and make notes on secret wand spots. I’m back in research mode.
These are great tips ! Thanks!
You're welcome, Sara.
I genuinely loved this video!!!
Last year my son kevin was hit by a car trying to prevent his little brother (Kevin jr) from getting hit by a truck. He got hit anyway. We took both of em to diagonal alley after they got out of intensive care. It was a nice trip and we surely will return someday.

I didn't know about the back of the knight bus. Cool
Glad to help you learn about it.
How many days do you recommend at Universal Orlando? And are the express passes worth it?
I tried to go to site for T-shirt but could not figure it out. I ENJOYED this very much!
Hey! Can you tell a bit about the pass holder discount you have on restaurants? I can’t find anything about it on the internet. Thanks a lot!
If you have a Preferred Pass or the Premier Pass you get discounts in park and City Walk on merchandise and food. I think the Preferred Pass is a 5% discount and the Premier is higher (I think 10%). With food, not every place gives a discount, so you just have to ask at the time you're seat. In fact, any time we are about to pay for anything, we ask just to make sure.
Great top 6 I think when I do go back I will have try the money exchange, and get a potion. Great work showing us new things from all parks👏🏻
Thank you...so much going on in Diagon Alley

Now we need Nix Flix Top 6! Now that would be a real party time!
I'm going to talk to her about that, sounds like a good idea.
That would be fantastic, thank you x
We forgot to try the elixir when we were there in may. Will hit it up next yr in September when we go.
Been so many times, but that was my first elixir....it really was good, I'll do it all the time now.

Thx for the secret wand stations. I'll be there next week!
Awesome, have a good time.
Number 1 Gem is the Strawberry Peanut Butter ice cream in Diagon Alley! Best I’ve ever had!
Can you still get the potions???? I've looked the last 2 times n can't find them
Thanks for the tip about the water elixirs! Gonna try one tomorrow xD
Neat video rix especially the shrunken heads singing the song from Jaws after quent tell them about the suburban us Story while Jaws is underneath the boat trying to punch a whole in the boat rix IAM glad you are feeling better
IKR, I think that is such a clever tribute to the old Jaws attraction.
@@RixFlix Is that Rob Paulsen voicing one of the shrunken heads?
Omg I didn’t know there were different patterns for kreacher but we were lucky enough to catch him peaking out! But damn I wish we’d known about the back of the knight bus. That’s probably the one thing we missed out of the things you’ve mentioned (minus the secret wand spots buuut we didn’t buy a wand so it wouldn’t have really mattered haha)

Shocked you didn’t see the shrunken head voice actor when you peeked into the bus. I wonder where he’s actually hidden bc when he was talking to me I know he could see me 🤣
What camera are you using? Great vid!
Here's a link to it amzn.to/2u7IJKR
I can relate to the kreacher moment, lol I was so excited
I knew Gilly Water had to have a higher purpose! $5.50 is a bit of a charge for a bottle of water. I'll def try a potion next time
I wish I had a video of her reaction
Rix!
Top Six!
Party Time!
Excellent!
Do I get to keep the scarf is my question.
I thought u said that you always ride a ride when your at a theme park!! Haha either way, great video
Sometimes I break my own rules...and the wait time for Gingotts was only like 15-20 minutes.
this video is so cool. thank you so much
Thank you Victoria.😎
Our very favorite hidden gem is the advertisements that appear and disappear on the way down Knockturn Alley
Good point, Lemonade. I need to remember to mention those.
Now I wanna go back and get some wizards money and the drink mixes. Thanks for sharing.
Rix Top Six Party Time Excellent
What type of camera are you using?
I use the Canon G7X Mark ii, you can take a closer look here www.amazon.com/shop/rixflix?listId=2LFG1Y0KEGDZP
They give you a map of locations when you buy the wand. But if your bringing your kids be prepared to be pushed around by alot of immature adults not allowing young kids to enjoy the activities
Yep, but the map doesn't have the two secret spots. It can get crazy in there, worse if there are adult acting like you said.
With the gringotts money I thought they would use the gallions sickles and knuts thing but with plastic coins which would've been cool but I think the bank notes work better as well.
Great info
Thank you Gabriele.
I remember on the second time I went to this place
I didn’t notice the entrance of Diagon Alley
But the third time I watch this video
And I found it
There is one thing that I heard about ... idk if it is true
If you want to be chosen at Olivanders, at the beguining at the show do a strange noise or a funny face ... it has worked with a friend of mine.
Love the veg heads! Slytherin here!
Hey Slytherin :)
Does the gringots money fetch same amount of money as you buy it for? I mean will a 10 dollar one become a 10 dollar check kind of thing.
Yes
My family is "muggles", and I am partially. When we went to Universal, if I hadn't known where the entrance was for the Diagon Alley, and it's ride -- because of TH-cam videos, we would have walked right past it. Not a very good marketing/design decision.
I see people looking confused and walking by it all the time. And I can see why.
The whole point is it’s supposed to be hidden in plain sight..
You have to know where to look. That's the whole point. Only magical folk know how to get in.
Does anyone know how to get chosen for them wands? Or do you just get picked randomly
I think it's pretty random. I think they look for kids first and I'm sure it's helpful if the kids looks at the host and looks engaged with what's happening.
I have facilitated it for an adult before. They held us back after the group went through and performed a quick version for her as well. Made the entire trip. Talk to an employee while on line. I've also been selected when there was no one else in line lol
There are those of us who have tried all the tricks, to be chosen; and there is no way to know why they choose the people they do. I gave up.
Wear Harry Potter apparel and look super excited. Wearing a “it’s my birthday pin” is the biggest ticket though. I went on my actual birthday and got picked! I’m 31 and it was still so magical :)
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 I read that if you are wearing HP stuff, they will pick you because you look like you will spend money!
I seen you in one of Spokesmaynes livestreams at Horror Nights!
Really, that's funny I didn't even see him there....so much going on and coming at you to notice it all.
I am watching to see if I missed something on my trip to Universal a few years ago.
And yea. I didn't know you could get on the bus.
Or about creature in the window. I need to go back now.
I exchanged money at the bank and spent it inside diagon alley. Didn't know it could be used elsewhere.
And I didn't know about the potion refreshments.
I really need to go back now.
If.you brought the elixir back as a souvenir does it surpass the liquor requirments for carryon by TSA?
So in looking vex with universal and have never been before 😀
Well done sir.
Brill I know you went over some old ground this ain't a problem as some things I was needing to refresh on I wanted to dance with the banshees but my better half dragged me away boo hoo lol deffo next time keep up the good work guys look forward to the next vlog
