Honeydukes

Lots of whimsical candies from the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Fun to have the chance to step into a what the Honeydukes from Harry Potter might have been like. Lots of candy options. Pricy, as expected at a theme park. The one distinct negative is the narrow rows and general space to move around in this shop. Very tight, especially with larger crowd days and many visitors. Sure makes looking at all the treats very difficult. A must see for Harry Potter fans, especially with a sweet tooth.

Universal please make the treats taste better! That fudge is hard to get down and the icing in a cup makes me gag. HOWEVER A+ on the pumpkin pasties and ginger newts!

If you're a fan of the Harry Potter books or movies, you've definitely heard of Honeydukes and should visit this hop when at Universal. It is colorful and jam-packed with just about every type of candy mentioned in the HP universe. I highly recommend the fudge (butterbeer flavor was my fave) and the chocolate frogs, while my daughter liked the peppermint frogs. The store is quite small and there is not much room to move around and browse. If you can stop here in when you first arrive before it gets busy, that might be best (but then you have to carry chocolate around in the Florida heat all day). It would be nice if they had a place to pick up your purchases from the shop at the exit so you didn't have to risk it melting while exploring the parks (wishful thinking). The worst thing about the store is the purchasing process. Plan on waiting in line a long time (not as long as rides, but longer than it should be). When you get up to the counter you can pay for things you have picked out in the store. However, if you want something from behind the counter (fudge, baked goods, cauldron cakes, chocolate wands) you tell the clerk who writes it down, pay for it, then wait in another line. Yep, that's right, instead of just grabbing the items you want when you get to the counter, the clerk writes it down, and then someone else gets it together and gives it to you later. I really do not understand the reasoning behind this process as it seems to add to the time customers wait exponentially. Given the small size of the store, especially near the counter area, this means there is always a backup of customers near the exit who are waiting for their orders. This whole process was frustrating... but I'm sure I'll be back.
