Introducing The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ - Ministry of Magic™ 

I'm so excited I just walked into my fireplace

The idea of hunting down Dolores Umbridge aka the worst HP characters sounds extremely satisfying.

The Universal PR team need a raise. I've never been more excited for a theme park in my entire life.

I like how they took note that Umbridge is even more hated than Voldemort. Centering the ride around her as the villain was smart

I like that the Ministry of Magic’s plot concept takes place AFTER Deathly Hallows.

The shortest building is TALLER than the tallest building in Diagon Alley, HOLY MACKEREL!

It’s going to take days, DAYS to go through this entire park and give it the attention it deserves.

Harry Potter and the Tower of Terror!

The perfect reveal for Harry's birthday and the Olympics in Paris. 🔥

4:59 "This is the most ambitious ride we've ever created, and it's an absolute game-changer." Given Universal's track record for using innovative NEW ride systems, this should be incredibly interesting! 😀

Let’s all take a moment to reflect and appreciate what John Williams has done for the HP world.

The Niffler in a box BETTER be an animatronic lol

Not embarrassed to say that watching this got me emotional... can't wait!

Look at the whimsy and JOY on the faces of the creators. That should tell you all you need to know, this is going to be amazing.

AND ON HARRY'S BIRTHDAY NICE!

I don’t know what it is about this entire theme park, it’s either they are TRULY making it epic, or it’s gonna be different universes that no one and I mean NO ONE has seen before, from the Ministry Of Magic, to Isle Of Berk, to Super Nintendo World to Dark Universe, this will truly be and EPIC adventure!!!!

Never thought I’d see the day where I would be more excited over Universal parks than Disney. This is absolutely incredible!

It's smart of them to not base the ride off of the Fantastic Beasts series and instead do Harry Potter. I think them doing the land based of off Fantastic Beasts and the ride off of Harry Potter is the perfect balance.

That death eater animatronic is INSANE! So fluid in motion omg this ride is going to be amazing!!!

Finally Fantastic Beasts theme in a park! SO EXCITED 😆

finally adding harry potter without tearing anything down

I AM C R Y I N G RIGHT NOW!!!!! I've never once been to HP World or anything and I've been waiting for the "perfect time" to go- THIS IS IT!!!! I'm in tears because now I'll have the ultimate first time experience.

Merlin's beard! Can't wait to go to Ministry of Magic next year! 🧙‍♂️🪄

As someone who actually likes the Fantastic Beasts movies, THANK YOU Universal for including 1928 Wizarding Paris in this land! It looks just as amazing as the other 4 lands! Can't wait to visit next year 😊

I love these people. This is just incredible. Epic Universe is so clearly full of love and dedication, it honestly has me blinking back tears. The floo system that actually works?? The full scale ministry of magic?? The show?? And then all of the other lands with all of the other details - it’s just amazing. I don’t know when I’ll be able to go to Epic Universe but I hope it’s sooner than later. I can’t wait to go. ❤

I hope the tiles in the ministry of magic look exactly like they do in the movie. Small detail but I've always been obsessed with those tiles ever since I first saw the movie.

Disney, “Let’s retheme Splash Mountain.” Universal, “Hold my beer.”

I can't even describe the amount of emotions I've felt watching this... What a time to be alive... What a time to be a Harry Potter fan!! I hope you're watching at home, Myriam Margolyes! YOU get over it!

I’m a HUGE potter head and this honestly made me tear up. I cant wait to immerse myself in Wizarding Paris and the Ministry!! All of this looks incredible!! I’m most excited for the floo network!! Cant wait for this to open!! 😭

I love not needing to go to Disney on my trips anymore, Universal can be a full week vacation now🙌

The mad lads did it. They built it to scale

I cry like a baby every time epic releases something, it feels like a home I've been missing

The land im most excited for!!! The theatre kid in me cannot WAIT for the new stage show! 😭😭😭 Great job, Universal!

4:39 So, basically: high stakes, a dangerous mission, an epic battle for the fate of the Wizarding World against familiar foes in a familiar setting and alongside old friends, AND I get to help Harry and his friends get some payback on Umbridge for her tyranny during Order of the Phoenix? *grins* Sounds like my kinda party! I cannot WAIT to take this ride on!!

This was my least anticipated land, but it looks insane. Can't wait for the British Ministry of Magic!!

I'm not a Harry Potter fan. It takes alot to impress me. Watching this, I'm now a fan of Harry Potter and this absolutely IMPRESSES me!

Wasn't sure how this land would stack up against the other iconic Wizardjng Worlds, but nah this looks incredible. So hype for the ministry ride

This was all amazing. But you know what changed my life? I will get to fully epierience Umbridge’s trial

I hope the shops are full of stuff you would expect to find in Paris 1920s. Universal is a lot better at Disney when it comes to that. Disney shoves the same tshirts and stuffed animals in every gift shop, at least at Universal you can get things that can only be got from there!

French food… 🤤 Count me in. This literally could not be any better, another Wizarding World, plus the best food I’ve ever tasted.

I’m so hyped! I called Umbridge being the villain the moment they announced it was a ministry ride.

The "Art Noveau", fassade paintings, murals and decor inside "l'air de la sirène" and the whole french street design look utterly beautiful!! Truly artistic, planing, conceptual, architetural, and design MASTERPIECE and craft at work here! Kudos to the CREATIVE team behind this and maybe Stuart Craig! Most IMMERSIVE theme park design ever!

0:58 “beloved” is a very strong word to use when discussing Fantastic Beasts.

3rd Wizarding World at Universal!!! So excited. The queue for the Ministry attraction looks absolutely bonkers

THIS IS THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

What a time to be alive! 😭 How lucky are us fans to get to experience this?! Thank you, Universal! We cannot wait!

Universal has certainly put the theme into theme parks with this expansion, the detail dedication and size is absolutely amazing and we cannot wait to experience every land and loose ourselves in the magic!!

Congrats to all the creatives and engineers at Universal! It seems like all the awesome imagineering and Disney magic is flowing to Universal. Now, Universal is greater than Disney!

I literally was wondering earlier today, "When will Universal reveal Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic land?" And here we are!! So excited for all the lands, but especially this one!

Can yall make one big video with all 5 lands included? I see a lot of people saying this was the least Anticipated land because of it only having one ride, but it looks just as if not more impressive then the others. Especially the ministry

The UK design team for this did an amazing job translating screen to park. It looks so authentic to the movies! I'm glad they got a mention!

They just keep out doing themselves and the creativity and execution is SUPERB! It'll definitely take more than 1 day to see everything at Epic Universe 😅

Wow. The ride system looks incredible for this!

WOW, what a stunning land. Can't wait to be mistaken for a beast walking around sweating during the summer 😅

I remember stepping into Universal’s Hogsmeade in the US at 25 years old and I was crying. It’s so magical stepping into your childhood’s world. I can’t wait to visit the Ministry of Magic with my daughter one day ❤️

On Harry Potter’s birthday as well

4:50 That Death Eater animatronic looks very impressive!

Just take my money now Universal. I can’t wait to be there and experience the magic!

A semi full-scale quidditch World Cup, or the stadium at the castle where you can watch a game would be fun.

As a Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Mega Fan this is the most excited I’ve been in years for anything theme park related.

This is so incredible. I'm actually struggling to find the best descriptive words to describe my excitement. I will cry when I see it, just like I did when I came around the corner entrance to Diagon Alley. ❤

Wow , I got chills. Disney take notes! Universal I can’t wait for this epic land. Thank you 😊

I am legitimately crying 😭😭😭 I cannot wait to go. Everything looks so beautiful.

This looks more immersive and better than the actual harry potter studio tour 😩

So this ride is essentially Dolores Umbridge: Mission Breakout. BRILLIANT

OMG the Ministry looks insane!

Thank you Universal! And thank you JK Rowling, none of this would be possible without you.

Wow, harry potter fans are eating really really good Its going to be so much fun experiencing ministry of magic My sister especially is going to love it since shes a quite a fan of harry potter

Wow the effort and attention to detail they've put into all of this is INSANE

It looks like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Ministry Of Magic Themed area is going to be absolutely incredible

Bro!!! I am super excited!!! Disney needs to step up their game!

I LOVE Harry Potter and I am a huge fan/collector. I am 0% a fan of the Fantastic Beast films so I'm very curious to see Paris and how I feel about it haha The ministry looks AMAZING!!

C'mon 2025 hurry up!!!! I can't wait to see all the new lands at Universal!!

INCREDIBLE. I love that they're leaning into both film series.

Those streets of Paris are certainly a gamble. Diagon Alley was built up throughout several books and movies as a key location in the lore. It is visited many times and viewed from several perspectives through Harry's eyes: as a place of childhood whimsy of the first visit in Philosopher's Stone, showing the first hint of a darker side to wizarding society in Chamber of Secrets, giving the taste of the wizarding world outside Hogwarts in Prisoner of Azkaban, being an indication of dark times and depression in Half-blood Prince, and finally the site of the heist in Deathly Hallows. It's an iconic place the reader (and viewer!) is fully immersed in and gives a real sense of recognition between books and movies. Meanwhile, 1920's Paris is visited in one scene in what is by far the most disjointed and messy of the films in the franchise. There's one passing reference to one French wand shop in Goblet of Fire. That's all the material the series gives to work with. No matter how excellent the execution, the place won't have the same draw and recognition that Diagon Alley has, not to mention Hogsmeade. I have faith that they will manage to deliver some truly great rides, but in the long run I doubt it will rival the other two Potter locations for popularity.

It ain't a universal park without a Harry Potter world 😂

A friend of mine said it was about time they added some Fantastic Beasts representation in the parks.

Oh wow Universal is changing the game, I’m glad fantastic beasts is getting some love and honestly the floometro to go over to the ministry of magic looks amazing can’t wait for next year!!

And just like Hogsmeade and Diagon -- should have made this TWICE AS BIG!!! Everyone is going to LOVE this! Even all the muggles and Rainbow Unicorns are in. Too much fun!

ive never been more excited

I am so excited for Epic Universe. I've never been to Universal Orlando and now if the perfect time for me to go. I don't think I've ever been this excited to go to any amusement park ever in my life. Not even Disney has ever managed to get me this excited. 2025 is going to be an amazing year. You all are doing amazing things.

I hope they have shade

Universal creates an expansion to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter that features Fantastic Beasts, I'm all in!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Will be there in 2025 staying at the Helios grand. This will be the greatest park to ever debut in O town!

they are truly building the best theme park in the world it will change theme parks forever can't wait

Congratulations Universal you have officially overtaken Disney World as top dog

I have never been interested to go to Universal or DisneyWolrd, but lately with all these worlds being announced and them having full explanations of what guests should expect, I have been so excited to go.

Chills!! Can't wait to see how the floo works IRL

This park is gonna be literally a NEED-TO-GO

Disney takes 4 years to build a coaster. Universal Studios takes 4 years to build an entire park. 😅

Universal is the number one experiences company in the world! I cannot wait to take my family to all three Orlando parks!

Universal doesn't have enough sit down shows and I'm vary excited this land also gets one.

the ride about harry riding the hippogrif will be amazing too

I'm excited to see what bus wrap Disney debuts today.

Omg I love Fantastic Beasts and all the magical creatures of the wizarding world! Visiting this is definitely on my bucket list. My favorite is the zouwu. Please come out with more movies on this series. Also, please bring Kowalskis bakery to Universal so we can visit that too ❤.

Integrating Harry Potter at last without demolishing anything

SCREAMING for the ministry ride! i cannot wait!!

Its about time Umbridge gets what she deserves

Wow this is going to be EPIC

No one loves "Fantastic Beasts" but you still built a hell of an experience.
