◆Universal's Islands of Adventure·The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Hogsmeade
Flight of the Hippogriff
Opened in 2010 with the original Wizarding World expansion. A small junior coaster with a single hill and a smooth turning layout, themed to the Hippogriff lesson from Prisoner of Azkaban. The queue passes Hagrid's hut and includes the Buckbeak animatronic, who turns to acknowledge passers-by. Kids' first coaster at Universal; finished in under 90 seconds.

Filch's pavilion benches
Also in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Hogsmeade: It is not empty during peak times, but it is a useful nearby escape when Hogsmeade's main street is too compressed.

Three Broomsticks patio
Also in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Hogsmeade: The patio turns a quick-service stop into a useful pause with strong theming and better breathing room.
