UAE based enthusiasts of the world and crafts of wizardry rejoice, it has been officially announced today that a Harry Potter themed land will be joining the roster at Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi. Miral, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, promises that this addition to the world’s largest indoor theme park will allow guests to step into various locations pulled from the wizarding world.
The eight-film saga inspired by the best selling string of books is truly a global phenomenon, and given the extensive source material, there really is endless potential for the re-imaginings of the settings we’ve come to love.
The announcement was not accompanied by an opening date, all we know as of now is that the land is set to rival the scale of the six existing lands including Bedrock, Dynamite Gulch, Cartoon Junction, Gotham City and Metropolis.
