Right at park opening, the average wait is just 30 minutes; between 11am and 2pm it can climb to 180 or even 210. Minimum height is 40 inches -between 40 and 48 inches, riders need to go with an adult.

The official name is Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, inside Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe -different from Hogsmeade, which is still at Islands of Adventure.
