Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi is set to add three large areas devoted to the Harry Potter universe, with construction scheduled for completion in 2029.

The expansion will cover about 63,000 square meters and recreate Diagon Alley, Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest. The park will add attractions and experiences designed specifically for its Yas Island location, Miral said in a statement.

“The introduction of the three new Harry Potter-themed areas represents a significant milestone in the continued evolution of Yas Island and the emirate of Abu Dhabi,” Miral President Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak said. He described the project as part of the company’s continuing partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.

Miral said the development fits Abu Dhabi’s broader vision for economic diversification, greater tourism appeal and continued growth in its entertainment sector. Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi opened in 2018 and currently has six areas based on different Warner Bros. franchises.

Abu Dhabi also announced plans in May 2025 to build a Disney theme park on Yas Island. If completed, it would be Disney’s seventh such destination worldwide.

The introduction of the three new Harry Potter-themed areas represents a significant milestone in the continued evolution of Yas Island and the emirate of Abu Dhabi. This expansion reflects our long-standing collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, whose partnership brings globally recognized stories and characters to life through imaginative and immersive design.
