Universal Studios has set out to create an unparalleled experience for Harry Potter fans with the upcoming opening of the Harry Potter-themed section at Epic Universe. This new addition promises to be a game-changer, featuring what Universal describes as „the most ambitious, groundbreaking ride“ ever created. Dubbed „Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry,“ this ride will take guests on a journey through both time and space.
The ride begins with guests traveling from 1920s Paris to the British Ministry of Magic via Metro-Floo, a clever nod to the Floo Network from the Harry Potter films. Upon arrival at the Ministry, guests will find themselves in the midst of the trial of Dolores Umbridge, the infamous witch who wreaked havoc at Hogwarts. As the story unfolds, guests will be taken through various departments of the Ministry before boarding magical lifts to witness the trial. But things take a dramatic turn as Umbridge attempts to escape, prompting Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Higgledy the house elf to spring into action.
Universal promises a heart-pounding experience as guests are propelled in all directions, encountering Death Eater attacks and magical creatures throughout the adventure. The level of detail and storytelling in this ride is sure to captivate fans of the Harry Potter series, offering a truly immersive and exhilarating experience.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Ministry of Magic is just one of the five worlds that guests can explore at Epic Universe. Upon entering the world, guests will find themselves in a Muggle park in Paris, setting the stage for a magical adventure. The Place Cachee shopping district, set in the 1920s, offers a charming backdrop for guests to explore and interact with the magical world.
Inside the Haussmann-style buildings of Place Cachee, guests will discover shops, cafes, and plenty of opportunities to cast spells with interactive wands. The world is alive with magic, as guests may encounter exchange students from Hogwarts and Ilvermorny, as well as Aurors from the Ministere des Affaires Magiques de la France. Wands can be purchased at Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique, where guests can choose from a variety of unique wands and embark on spell-casting adventures.
Le Cirque Arcanus will offer guests a full-scale theater show, a first for a Wizarding World park. This enchanting show will feature live performers, aerialists, puppetry, and special effects, telling the story of Ringmaster Skender and his magical creatures. Guests will be transported into a world of wonder and excitement, as they witness an epic battle to rescue the creatures from Skender’s clutches.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Ministry of Magic will not only offer magical adventures but also a variety of dining options. From the French cafe, Cafe L’Air De La Sirene, to the shadowy eatery, Le Gobelet Noir, guests can enjoy a range of culinary delights. For those looking to quench their thirst, Bar Moonshine will offer a selection of beers, wines, and cocktails in a uniquely themed setting.
Merchandise enthusiasts will have plenty to explore at the Ministry of Magic, with shops like Les Galeries Mirifiques, K. Rammelle, and Tour En Floo offering a wide range of wizarding gear, confectionery, and gifts. Fans can get a taste of the magic early by browsing the merchandise at the Universal Epic Universe Preview Center.
