Magical news, Muggles: it’s officially been confirmed that Hogwarts Castle, Diagon Alley and the Forbidden Forest are coming to Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi. And, we won’t need to cast any spells or conjure any potions to get more details, as all three lands at the Harry Potter Abu Dhabi theme park are set to be revealed on Monday, September 7. The news was announced via a teaser on the official Harry Potter Instagram, as part of the brand’s Back to Hogwarts Showcase. A post shared by Harry Potter (@harrypotter) The countdown in the short Instagram teaser indicates the big reveal will be made at 12pm UAE time on Monday. First announced by theme park masters Miral in 2022, the Abu Dhabi Harry Potter land is set to bring a new dimension of wizarding thrills to Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi on Yas Island when it opens in the coming years, with spellbinding attractions, rides and experiences for budding witches and wizards to look forward to. Over the summer, Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi quietly added a Harry Potter experience. Per Forbes, the former Treasures of Hollywood Store on the edge of Warner Bros World’s central plaza has had a Harry Potter takeover, with the store’s shelves now stacked with magical merchandise, from wands and books of spells to t-shirts, scarves and jerseys, all in the signature Hogwarts house emblems. Construction on the 40,000 sq m extension of Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi to add Harry Potter land began last year, per MEED. While we don’t have an official opening timeline yet, a recent report from The National indicated that it’s expected to open in 2029, citing a consultancy firm working on the project, Entertainment + Culture Advisors.
