Universal Orlando Resort is set to enchant Harry Potter fans with the opening of a new Wizarding World of Harry Potter land at its upcoming theme park, Epic Universe. The Ministry of Magic land, scheduled to open in 2025, will immerse visitors in the magical world of 1920s Paris and 1990s London, blending timelines from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films.

Eddie Redmayne will reprise his role as Newt Scamander, with new scenes filmed specifically for the land. The marquee attraction, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, will take guests on a groundbreaking adventure using omnidirectional technology, allowing ride vehicles to move in all directions.

The land will also feature a live show, Le Cirque Arcanus, with fantastic beasts, aerialists, and special effects. Visitors can explore shops like Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique, where they can purchase wands and interact with creatures throughout the Parisian setting.

Dining options include Café L'Air De La Sirène, Le Gobelet Noir, Bar Moonshine, and a Bièraubeeurre Cart for Butterbeer lovers. Other shops like Les Galeries Mirifiques and K. Rammelle will offer magical merchandise.

The Ministry of Magic land joins two existing Harry Potter-themed lands at Universal Orlando Resort, Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. Epic Universe will also feature lands based on How to Train Your Dragon, Super Nintendo World, and Universal's classic monsters.

Get ready to cast your spells and experience the magic of the Wizarding World like never before at Universal Epic Universe in 2025!
