The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Universal's most beloved themed land could bring the magic of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to British soil for the first time. Experience the wizarding world just miles from the real-life locations that inspired J.K. Rowling. With the Harry Potter franchise rooted in British culture, a UK Wizarding World would carry extra emotional resonance for visitors.
