What We Know About The Story

The journey into this new world tells a story we haven’t experienced yet as part of the current Wizarding World lands in Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure parks.  This story combines the lines from the rise of Grindelwald to the fall of Voldemort, taking us to 1920s Paris and 1990s London and the Ministry of Magic.

The headlining entertainment in this new world is Le Cirque Arcanus, a fantastical showcase of magical creatures straight from Newt Scamander’s suitcase.  This famous suitcase has fallen into the wrong hands of Ringmaster Skender, and we will experience live performers, puppets, and special effects.

Character interactions are going to be plentiful, as well as the interactive wand experiences that we’ve grown to love in the current lands of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  

What We Know About What We’ll Eat

Cafe L’air De La Sirene will serve French inspired breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Most importantly, we’ll still find Bièreaubeurre, (also known as Butterbeer) in this new world.

Once we’ve made our way through 1920s Paris as wizards and witches, we’ll step into the larger-than-life Metro-Floo fireplace and find ourselves in the 1990s British Ministry of Magic. 

Here, we’ll experience the ride attraction of this world, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry.  The story of this ride begins at the queue. If you’ve experienced Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey or Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, you know how immersive these ride queues are.  I’m so excited to see the Ministry of Magic for myself in the queue of this new ride.  

This ride begins as Voldemort’s followers are being held to account for their crimes – Delores Umbridge in particular.  With the help of Death Eaters, she is able to escape the hold of the Ministry.  We get to help Harry, Ron, and Hermione chase her through the Ministry, with the hopes of ultimately capturing her.

This new world inside Universal Epic Universe looks unbelievable.  Stay tuned for more as we look at what we know about each  of the other four new worlds at this new theme park.
