The Orlando Business Journal reports Universal still has to say how it will charge visitors who plan to go to both wizarding worlds, but the park may capitalize on the attractions with park hopper pass sales - meaning guests must purchase a two-park pass in order to enjoy the Harry Potter attractions in their entirety.
