In 2025, Universal Orlando Resort is set to enchant the world with the highly anticipated third installment of its Harry Potter-themed lands: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. As one of five new worlds debuting in Universal Epic Universe, this magical land promises to transport fans straight into the heart of wizarding Paris and the iconic British Ministry of Magic from the beloved Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic is a collaborative masterpiece from the award-winning Universal Creative team and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment. Building on the global phenomenon that began with Hogsmeade in 2010 and Diagon Alley in 2014, this new addition promises to raise the bar for theme park entertainment.
Guests will journey through the ornate portal from a Muggle park in Paris into the bustling 1920’s Place Cachée, a hidden shopping district filled with Haussmannian buildings, charming sidewalk cafés, and historic Parisian domes. Here, wizards and non-magiques alike can cast spells with interactive wands, encounter fantastic beasts at a traveling circus, and, for the first time ever, travel across countries and time to 1990s London using the Métro-Floo for a thrilling adventure inside the British Ministry of Magic.
