Warner Bros Discovery and Miral have unveiled plans for three Harry Potter-themed lands at Abu Dhabi's Warner Bros World development, scheduled for reveal on September 7, 2023. The Abu Dhabi expansion builds upon the original Harry Potter attraction, which was initially described as a single, significant land. Instead of the anticipated three lands, the theme park will now feature Harry Potter-themed rides alongside existing DC-themed attractions.
The Harry Potter development will be the first of its kind in the Middle East, as well as the first permanent Harry Potter-themed project outside of Universal Studios. Concept art and attraction names remain undisclosed, but the proposed lands may include Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and the Forbidden Forest, with three original rides.
The development, which began under Miral and Warner Bros Discovery in 2022, is projected to open in 2029, though the official launch date remains unconfirmed. The announcement came as international fans gathered in London for the Back to Hogwarts celebration, with Abu Dhabi fans expressing excitement about the upcoming theme park destination.
