Overview
- Miral and Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled the addition of Diagon Alley, Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest to Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi in a reveal published on Monday, September 7, 2026.
- The three lands are said to span about 63,000 square metres and construction is targeted for completion in 2029, with work and marketing teasers already under way.
- Company statements promise world‑exclusive Harry Potter rides created specifically for Abu Dhabi while noting that individual attractions, guest flows and an official opening date have yet to be released.
- The Forbidden Forest will be built as a permanent, standalone theme‑park land for the first time, and the entirely indoor, climate‑controlled design is presented as a regional first for this IP.
- Miral frames the project as part of a broader Yas Island masterplan to 2040 intended to boost international tourism, though outlets reported a discrepancy over how much the park will grow (company claims 50%+ versus one report of about 26%).
