The new theme park will include lands including Celestial Park, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. Universal has shared tons of details about every land except one — and we think we know when we might learn more!

The NEW Ministry of Magic will be the third Harry Potter-themed land at Universal Orlando! It will join Hogsmeade (located in Universal’s Islands of Adventure) and Diagon Alley (located in Universal Studios) as a unique land adding another chapter to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Universal has shared that in this land, “guests will discover a different era of the wizarding world in an all-new land that blends 1920s wizarding Paris from Warner Bros. Pictures’ Fantastic Beasts films with the iconic British Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter series.”

And, while it’s the only land at Epic Universe we still don’t have details on, we’re pretty sure we know when Universal will make some sort of announcement!

According to Variety, the official Harry Potter YouTube channel will be streaming the Back to Hogwarts showcase on September 1st at 10:30AM BST/ 5:30AM ET. During the showcase, we’ll get some major updates on all things Harry Potter — including news from “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Destinations & Experiences”!

While we don’t know for certain that this will be an announcement about the new Ministry of Magic land at Epic Universe, we’re certainly hoping it is. But, if Universal decides to announce the rides, restaurants, and more coming to this land before then, well, we’ll be pretty stoked about that too!

Universal has not yet shared much about the new attraction coming to the Ministry of Magic, other than to say that “it has to be a surprise…” But, in June 2024, Universal unveiled a model of Epic Universe which is now on display at the Epic Universe Preview Center, which opened in June 2024 at Universal CityWalk.
