In-Depth Information
Spoiler alert: The ride is inspired by the final film “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
- Part 2,” and a pivotal scene where Harry, Ron and Hermione break into Gringotts bank
to steal a powerful Horcrux that will help them defeat Lord Voldemort. On Harry Potter
and the Escape from Gringotts, you will encounter the trio during this quest - but expect
to meet some dangerous creatures and malicious villains as well! During the ride you will
come face to face with Bellatrix Lestrange, security trolls, fire breathing dragons and even
Voldemort himself.
