Abu Dhabi's Warner Bros World is set to unveil three new Harry Potter-themed lands on September 7, following a live-streamed promotional event. The announcement comes after previous descriptions of the Yas Island development as a single themed land. The teaser video, which closed with "Three new themed lands" and "Reveal - 7 September", hinted at the upcoming additions, though specific land names and attractions remain undisclosed.
The three lands are anticipated to be based on Harry Potter, but it remains unclear if the original development will be divided into areas or expanded. Miral and Warner Bros Discovery unveiled the project in 2022, initially describing one significant Harry Potter-themed land, with plans for two additional DC-themed rides. The Harry Potter development would mark the first permanent Harry Potter theme-park outside Universal Studios, located entirely indoors in Abu Dhabi.
Planning documents suggest the potential inclusion of Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and the Forbidden Forest, alongside three original rides. The unveiling of the Harry Potter-themed lands is expected to occur on September 7, with the official opening date yet to be confirmed. Fans worldwide, including Mexican Azul, expressed excitement upon learning Abu Dhabi would become a Harry Potter destination.
