In partnership with Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, the largest indoor theme park in Abu Dhabi, the new attraction will transport you into experiencing what life is like inside the wizarding world.

Discovery and excited to be bringing this spell-binding first to the Middle East and the world in the future. 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, contributing to the growth and economic diversification of the Emirate.”
Pam Lifford, President, of Global Brands, and Experience from Warner Bros. Discover said “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. Together with our lands at Universal Parks, this will add a wholly new and spectacular destination for fans to immerse themselves in.”
