Epic Universe will officially open next year in 2025, and we’re not sure we can wait that long.

This all new theme park will have five lands featuring some of our favorite stories, characters, and themes. Up to this point, we’ve heard about the rides, attractions, and restaurants at How to Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, Celestial Park, and Super Nintendo World. That only leaves one new land announcement left, and we just got a clue when we’ll finally learn all about it.

Universal Orlando took to Instagram today, July 29th, to share the mysterious celestial blue background once again, this time with the date July 31st, 2024.

Since there’s only one land left for us to learn about and these clues have always led to an Epic Universe land announcement, we think we know what’s waiting for us this Wednesday. Could we finally be learning all the new attractions for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic?!

What’s even cooler about this date and this announcement is that July 31st also happens to be Harry Potter’s birthday! We couldn’t think of a more perfect day for this big reveal. We’ll be eagerly waiting for Wednesday to get here, that’s for sure.

This new Harry Potter land will be the third at Universal Orlando, joining Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. 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.”

As of now that’s all we know about this new land, but that will soon be changing! There is also an Epic Universe preview center set up at Universal’s City Walk. At the preview center, you can see a model of the new park and everything that will be available once the park opens. It’s a giant display that also includes photo ops of each land’s portal. If you’re just as excited for this new park as we are, head to City Walk to check it out!
