The day is finally here. After much ballyhoo, Universal Studios Hollywood’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter is now officially open to the public.

It turned out to be something of a rainy day, but the moody weather seemed very appropriate to the setting, and fans were definitely not kept away by the gloom. In order to temper crowd surges, Universal implemented a timed-entry procedure that paced guest access throughout the day.
