The magic is heating up at Epic Universe.

After years of development, rumors, and constriction, Universal’s highly-anticipated Epic Universe theme park is *almost* ready to open next year. One of the park’s most anticipated new Portals coming to the park is the latest expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter family of lands.
Thanks to Bioreconstruct on X (formerly Twitter), we’ve recently seen some new images of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic.

The newest Potter land is going to be themed to both the magical version of Paris featured in the Fantastic Beasts film series, as well as featuring the London-based Ministry of Magic location from the original Potter books and films.

Universal describes the land as a place where guests can “explore international wizarding communities and the magic that connects them.”

The land’s Entrance portal will consist of a massive pillar with a Potter-themed sculpture at the top and a replica of Paris’s Porte Saint-Denis.

The land’s scale and scope are massive. On par with, and possibly exceeding both the original Hogsmeade land at Islands of Adventure as well as Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.

The land will feature a theater/show attraction – rumored to be based on the circus featured in the Fantastic Beasts franchise…

…as well as a MASSIVE Ministry of Magic dark ride that’s supposedly based on the events of the original series.
