The vision for the Harry Potter themed land from Abu Dhabi-based Miral and Warner Bros. Global Themed Entertainment will invite fans to step inside iconic locations from the wizarding world.

“We are very proud of our continuous partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery and excited to be bringing this spell binding first to the Middle East and the world in the future,” said Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of Miral.

“This is yet another testament to our commitment to continue to position Yas Island as a top global destination for entertainment and leisure, and a great addition to Abu Dhabi’s tourism offerings.”

Harry Potter is a global phenomenon, a fictitious character whose life journey has been scripted over a series of books, which sold over 600 million copies worldwide, distributed in more than 200 territories and translated into over 80 languages. The books were then creatively spooled across eight films.

“The Wizarding World offers something for fans of every age to enjoy. The original Harry Potter stories and the blockbuster film series continue to captivate and inspire hundreds of millions of fans around the world, and our Global Themed Entertainment team together with our world-class partner Miral, will expand our successful Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi to bring this magical experience to life,” added Pam Lifford, President, global brands and experiences from Warner Bros. Discovery.

“Together with our lands at Universal Parks, this will add a wholly new and spectacular destination for fans to immerse themselves in.”

The addition of a Harry Potter themed land at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi expands upon a line-up of themed lands and experiences, including Bedrock, Dynamite Gulch, Cartoon Junction, Gotham City and Metropolis.
