Harry Potter fans lose it over surprise announcement

Harry Potter fans have been hit with the surprise announcement of a brand-new experience coming soon.

The Harry Potter franchise is as popular as it always was, and despite its associations to J.K Rowling it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

There’s even a new game on the way, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, which you can see below in a new gameplay trailer

With games like Hogwarts Legacy and the newly unveiled Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions many are wondering what could be next for the franchise aside from the HBO reboot.

Turns out what’s coming next is a new interactive experience at Universal Orlando Resort, which announced a Harry Potter-themed land coming sometime in the future.

Universal Orlando currently boasts multiple worlds themed after popular IPs, even having its own version of Super Nintendo World on the way in 2025.

Also joining the park in 2025 is a world inspired by the Dark Universe, which is where The Mummy reboot with Tom Cruise came from, How To Train Your Dragon and the aforementioned Harry Potter World.

As for what magical memories await fans in Harry Potter World, it’ll be a recreation of Paris from the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them films, which is a secret base for the Ministry Of Magic outside the view of normal humans.

There's a wizard battle attraction, a circus featured in one of the films, performers doing street magic and of course, plenty of shops stocking various wizarding goods, like wands.

Part of the official description reads: “Beyond the world's ornate portal, guests will first journey from a Muggle park in Paris into the breathtaking spectacle of 1920's Place Cachée – a hidden, bustling shopping district in wizarding Paris lined with Haussmannian buildings, shops, sidewalk cafés, and historic Parisian domes rising in the distance,"

It sounds like it’ll be a must-see area for Harry Potter fans, but a costly one at that, so start saving for 2025.
