Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi Confirms Three Harry Potter Lands and Sets September 7 Reveal

As the first permanent Harry Potter park outside Universal-operated resorts in the Middle East, the project could reshape Yas Island’s tourism appeal.

Overview

  • Warner Bros released a teaser and countdown that sets a public reveal for Monday, September 7 at 12pm UAE time and says the park will announce further details then.
  • The official video and park materials identify the three themed areas as Hogwarts, Diagon Alley and the Forbidden Forest.
  • Reports and planning documents indicate the expansion is a roughly 40,000 square metre, fully indoor and climate-controlled extension to Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi.
  • Key operational details such as individual ride names, attraction layouts and an opening date remain unconfirmed, though a consultancy advertisement and industry reporting have suggested a possible 2029 opening.
  • Teaser imagery, most notably the flying Ford Anglia, has prompted fan speculation about Chamber of Secrets–era sequences while the wider project is positioned to add a new year-round draw to Yas Island’s theme-park cluster.
