Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is set to add three Harry Potter-themed lands to its existing six immersive zones, with construction targeted for completion in 2029.
The new areas, covering Diagon Alley, Hogwarts, and the Forbidden Forest, will span approximately 63,000 sqm and include world-exclusive rides built specifically for the Abu Dhabi park.
The Harry Potter expansion forms part of a broader build-out that also includes two previously announced DC attractions, Kryptonite Collider and Superman Up and Away.
Taken together, the additions will increase the park’s total footprint by more than 50 per cent, adding around 70,000 sqm of new theme park space.
The development is a joint project between Miral, the Yas Island-based experience operator, and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.
“The introduction of the three new Harry Potter–themed lands represents a significant milestone in the continued evolution of Yas Island and the emirate of Abu Dhabi. This expansion further reflects our long-standing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, whose collaboration brings globally recognised stories and characters to life through imaginative and immersive design.
Aligned with Abu Dhabi’s broader vision for economic diversification, enhanced tourism appeal, and the continued growth of a dynamic entertainment landscape, this expansion further reinforces Yas Island’s position as a leading global leisure and entertainment destination. It underscores our commitment to delivering world-class experiences that inspire, engage, and create lasting memories for visitors and residents for generations to come,” Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Miral said in a statement.
“The expansion of Warner Bros. World™ Abu Dhabi represents a significant step forward in our commitment to building world‑class destinations anchored in the strength of our storytelling. Introducing three new Harry Potter–themed lands allows us to deepen the connection between our iconic franchises and the guests who cherish them. This development reflects our long‑term vision for immersive entertainment experiences that set new benchmarks for the industry, and we look forward to unveiling environments that fans will love for generations to come,” Simon Robinson, President Global Experiences & Studio Operations, Warner Bros. Discovery added.
