Harry Potter fans can start counting the days because the wait is almost over! Universal Orlando Resort has revealed the first details of its highly anticipated attraction Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, which will open its doors on May 22, 2025, at Universal Epic Universe.

Located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, this new experience will take visitors to a whole new level of immersion, allowing them to step inside the iconic British Ministry of Magic for the very first time. But that’s not all: guests will become part of one of the most epic battles in the wizarding world, witnessing the trial of Dolores Umbridge in one of the most innovative attractions Universal has ever created.

A Magical Journey through the Ministry of Magic

From the moment visitors enter the Metro-Floo, a transportation system inspired by the famous Flu Network, they will be transported into a world of magic. After emerging from the chimneys, they will find themselves in the grand atrium of the Ministry of Magic, where the famous Fountain of Magical Brethren will greet them. The attention to detail is incredible, and every corner of this iconic location will be filled with elements that will make fans feel as if they are inside the films.

One of the most anticipated stops will be Dolores Umbridge’s office, decorated in her signature pink tones and golden embellishments. Here, visitors will meet Higgledy, Umbridge’s house-elf, who will be cleaning the office before the trial. The details continue with The Daily Prophet and various interdepartmental memos, which will make fans feel even more connected to the characters they love.

The Pursuit through the Ministry

Guests will embark on an epic journey aboard an omnidirectional magical elevator, which will take them through the Ministry’s various departments while they face an action-packed trial. From the Magical Archives, where ancient magical documents are stored, to the Department of Magical Creatures, where magical creatures have escaped and unleashed chaos, the adventure will be nonstop. And of course, there will be Death Eaters determined to prevent Umbridge from being judged.

A Unique Show and More Magic in the Air

In addition to the attraction, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry will be part of a new phase of The Wizarding World, which will include a live show inspired by the Fantastic Beasts films, dining experiences, themed shops, and of course, interactive magic with wands.

May 22, 2025, will mark the beginning of a new era for fans of the magical world, with an experience that promises to thrill visitors of all ages. And best of all, park tickets are already on sale, so get ready to live an unforgettable experience!
