I am working out how to kill the Wall of Flesh on my Expert World to go on to hard mode, but I have no idea how to go about it. I have a hole into hell, a guide voodoo doll and then a lot of graves. I have full Hellstone Armor, Night's Edge, The Bee Gun, The Bow that turns wooden arrows into hell bats and a few pretty good (to me) accessories. If requested I will list them. Anybody know I should go about this or what gear I should have. I also have Demon Scythe Water Bolt Magic Missile. The Reason I am asking this is because I understand Expert Mode Wall of Flesh is like 10 times harder than regular mode.

It sounds like you have the right idea, but here's some tips or suggestions. Buff potions definitely help, and also you will want to make sure you are using the Greater Health Potions, not the lesser ones of course.
If you haven't done so already, I suggest you try making a very long bridge. It doesn't have to be completely flat but at least enough that it's very easily traverse-able and you won't get stuck somewhere by accident or fall into lava. You'll want to focus more on the battle than trying to get around down there.
My weapon of choice for this battle would be one of the flails (Or any big Sword such as Night's Edge) for the numerous mini enemies attached to the wall. Flails take them out easily and quite efficiently since you can hit almost all of them at once. Once those are all done for, this is when switching to the minishark is a good idea. It puts out lots of damage very quickly, obviously, plus the bonus ability to save ammo every-time you shoot it. If you have the Goblin Tinkerer I suggest you put some money in reforging weapons for better stats, not necessary but makes a very noticeable impact when you get a good one.
As for your accessories, you might want rocket/specter boots to get around easier; a cobalt/obsidian shield so you aren't knocked around or into lava, and also in case there any exposed hellstone you could accidentally walk onto; and a Band of Regeneration to quickly recover lost HP. The other two are up to your preference really. I would also suggest reforging these to try and get the Warding prefix (+4 defense). Again not necessary but it will help tremendously in the long run. Especially since having 5 warding accessories means +20 defense.
You can also try to focus on magic items to defeat it. A Vilethorn also makes quick work of the smaller enemies while a space gun (with full meteor armor) will constantly damage the actual Wall without ever using mana. A Demon Scythe is definitely my favorite weapon to use against it though. It will hit everything it passes through, and while it's "charging up", the boss can be directly over it getting hit 3-5 times guaranteed. The only problem is how hard is can sometimes be to find.
If you do decide to use magic items make sure you have a full 200 Max Mana and some Mana potions as well. Restoration potions can also help here as they give back both mana and HP but will give the "Potion Sickness" debuff on use, unlike regular Mana potions. You can also get a Mana Flower to equip. This will automatically use mana potions for you so that you won't have to worry about how much mana you currently have.
Once you do manage to defeat it the first time, beating it again will just get easier since you will have access to higher tier items.
3 things happen when you go to hard more:
- stronger enemies and bosses appear.
- Corruption/crimson spreads quicker
- Hallow biomes appear and spread.
To prep for stronger enemies/bosses, you should make sure you have top tier pre-hardmode weapons/armor/accessories and 400 max health. ie: Molten armor and a strong weapon like nights edge.
Getting a surface mushroom biome with a house for the Truffle NPC and then buying a mushroom spear as soon as he moves in after hardmode will make surviving much easier. The spear has decent knockback, good damage, and can hit enemies through walls.
You should get a Molten pickaxe to make Colbalt/Pallidium mining possible early on. quickly breaking Demon Alters and raising yourself to at least oricalcum armor quickly will make the common enemies much more bearable.
If you care about the lose of your natural biomes then the spread of corruption/hallow is a problem. You cannot control where it spawns but you can harvest the biomes blocks and create artificial biomes later on. However, I think waiting until you can get the Steampunker NPC and can buy the Clentaminator to remove hallow/corruption is a better use of time.

What I would suggest is to make some beenades or get them from the Queen Bee. About 30 or so should work, maybe more to be safe. They are absolutely BRUTAL against the Wall of Flesh, just be sure that you can make some distance between you and the wall so you dont get killed during the WoF super fast mode when he has really low health. Just don't forget the platform. Good Luck!
