What Is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic?
After passing through the entrance to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into historical Paris from the 1920s, as the area is designed to resemble the secret hideaway known as Place Cachée. As described in the official press release, visitors will walk past buildings reminiscent of the Haussmann era, shops, outdoor cafes, and distant domes that look like those found in Paris’ history. This setting was featured prominently in the latest Fantastic Beasts films.
As a diehard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! For the very first time, we’ll be given the opportunity to traverse countries within the Wizarding World, specifically finding ourselves in ’90s London. The magical mode of transport? None other than the MétroFloo! This promises to be an exhilarating journey as it takes us deep inside the legendary British Ministry of Magic for a thrilling adventure that’s sure to leave us spellbound.
What Rides Are Featured in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic?
In the London branch of the Magic Ministry, visitors can enjoy the cutting-edge dark ride titled “Harry Potter’s Battle at the Ministry“. This exhilarating journey takes place within the Ministry on the day of Dolores Umbridge’s trial. As guests step into a viewing box, they’ll join forces with Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and a house-elf named Higgledy in an action-packed chase. The adventure will whisk them through various directions—up, down, forward, backward, sideways, and more—as they attempt to apprehend Umbridge while avoiding attacks from Death Eaters, wild creatures, and other obstacles.
All The Special Shows and Shops in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic
As a devoted Harry Potter fan, I’m thrilled to share that for the first time in any Harry Potter-themed area, there’s now a live stage show to immerse yourself in. It’s called Le Cirque Arcanus, set in a captivating Parisian backdrop, and it’s all about Fantastic Beasts! Ringmaster Skender has gotten his hands on Newt Scamander’s magical suitcase, filled with enchanting creatures like Demiguise, Diricawl, and Mooncalves. The show follows Gwenlyn, a circus employee, as she attempts to rescue these magical beings before they fall permanently into Ringmaster Skender’s greedy grasp. Prepare to be amazed by breathtaking aerial acts, skillful puppeteers, and spellbinding special effects that transport you straight into the magical world we all love.
In the enchanting world of the Potter theme park, you’ll find a plethora of fresh, magical experiences. For instance, at the wand shop named Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magique, our skilled wandmaker Cosme Acajor has devised an innovative twist on wand selection. Here, guests can purchase wands tailored to this specific land, each coming in distinctive three-sided boxes with a guide to locations across the Wizarding World where you can practice casting spells. Additionally, before venturing into London, you’ll come across the Tour En Floo shop, indulge in sweet treats at the French confectionary K. Rammelle, and stock up on wizarding essentials at Les Galeries Mirifiques.
Visitors are welcome to engage with creatures such as Nifflers, Bowtruckles, and Demiguises within this entire space.
For food enthusiasts, you’ll find Café L’Air De La Sirène offering a variety of French sandwiches, daily specials, and desserts amidst its magical ambiance. If you’re drawn to the Dark Arts, Le Gobelet Noir is where you’ll want to go, as it offers a menu tailored for witches and wizards seeking privacy away from the Paris Ministry. For mature Muggles and wizards, there’s Bar Moonshine, where you can enjoy alcoholic beverages.
