Accompanied by the caption, “Enter a new era of the wizarding world,” the announcement video teases the rich detail and epic scale that guests can expect from this latest addition to the Harry Potter universe. The attraction takes fans deeper into the British Ministry of Magic than ever before, where they’ll encounter familiar and new characters, explore iconic locations, and embark on a spellbinding adventure.
Guests will enter through the Floo Passage and find themselves in the awe-inspiring atrium of the Ministry. Here, the Fountain of Magical Brethren stands restored, flying memos swirl through the air, and the enchanted weather ceiling looms above, creating a scene straight out of the films.
But the magic doesn’t stop at the atrium. Fans will be thrilled to know that the attraction includes scenes both from the beloved Harry Potter films and never-before-seen moments. The ride features everything from the Hall of Ministers, where past Ministers of Magic from various eras interact, to the Aurors’ headquarters, where Harry, Ron, and Neville are training to become Aurors. The attraction even takes guests inside the infamous pink and gold office of Dolores Umbridge, as she prepares for her trial.
One of the most exciting elements of the ride is the return of Dame Imelda Staunton, who reprises her role as Dolores Umbridge. Her performance, described as taking Umbridge “to the extreme,” is sure to be a highlight for fans. Additionally, guests will encounter other key characters from the Wizarding World, including Yaxley, Macnair, the Carrows, and Kingsley Shacklebolt.
As the adventure unfolds, guests will board enchanted lifts that whisk them through the various departments of the Ministry, including the Ministry Archives and the Department of Magical Creatures. The ride promises a thrilling experience, complete with encounters with Death Eaters, magical creatures, and plenty of surprises that have yet to be revealed.
With its unprecedented scale, intricate detail, and a cast of beloved characters brought to life, “Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry” is poised to become a must-visit attraction for fans of all ages. Universal Orlando has once again teamed up with Warner Bros. to create a magical experience that not only stays true to the Wizarding World but also pushes the boundaries of theme park storytelling.
