Epic Universe opens in 2025, and with it we will have even more wizarding magic to experience! Universal just shared new details for the Harry Potter ride. Let us know what you think!
Wizarding World of Harry Potter
The theme will be set from 1920’s Paris to 1990’s British Ministry. You’ll encounter fantastic beasts in Paris then take the Metro-Floo to the British Ministry. There, get ready for some new thrills with Harry, Ron, and Hermione!
A really cool show called Le Cirque Arcana’s will have you come face-to-face with fantastic beasts with a mix of live performers, puppetry, and special effects.
Plus, you’ll experience new interactive wand magic as you cast spells and interact with beasts, wizards, and witches on the streets of wizarding Paris! Speaking of wands, you can shop for new ones at Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique.
British Ministry of Magic
You will be able to travel through the Floo passage and see the Ministry of Magic at its full scale, full glory, and full glamour.
In the Atrium Fountain is the Magical Brethren Statue, which has been restored to its rightful state. Flying Memos surround you and be sure to look up! The enchanted weather ceiling above you brings new wonder and magic.
“This is the biggest thing we’ve ever built”
New Details
For this ride, there are experiences from the film, but there are also completely new scenes. Locker rooms show that Harry and Ron are training to be Aurors. You’ll also encounter past ministers from 1700’s to 1980’s in the Hall of Ministers.
There are Easter eggs in Aurer’s HeadQuarters, including a tribute to fallen Aurors.
Walk through the pink and gold Ministry office of Delores Umbridge, including Higgledy the house elf. She is packing up in anticipation of the trial. Be on the lookout for cat plates!
The lift station takes you to the court rooms for the trial of Delores Umbridge, and then venture to different departments and rooms encountering Death Eaters and creatures.
Never before seen scenes and characters include Ministry Archives, Department of Magical Creatures, Yaxley, McNair, and Kingsley Shackleboat.
Probably the most exciting new detail of all is that Imelda Staunton reprises her role as Dolores Umbridge for the ride! It will be so exciting to see how she brings Delores Umbridge back to life for the ride.
