UK Theme Parks Announce New Harry Potter Attractions for 2024
new experiences coming to British theme parks
Published: November 15, 2024
The wizarding world is expanding across the United Kingdom as several major theme parks have unveiled ambitious plans for new Harry Potter-themed attractions set to open throughout 2024.
Following the tremendous success of the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio tour and the Warner Bros Studio Tour experiences, British theme parks are investing heavily in bringing more experiences to fans across the country. These new attractions promise to deliver unprecedented levels of immersion into the beloved wizarding world.
Immersive Experiences

The centerpiece of these new developments includes state-of-the-art interactive experiences where visitors can use replica wands to cast spells throughout specially designed areas. These attractions utilize cutting-edge technology to create truly moments that respond to guests' movements and gestures.
Park officials have confirmed that these experiences will feature locations inspired by iconic scenes from the Harry Potter world, including recreations of Diagon Alley, the Great Hall, and the Forbidden Forest.
Themed Dining and Shopping
Beyond the rides and interactive experiences, the new attractions will feature extensive themed dining options. Visitors will be able to enjoy meals at recreated locations such as the Three Broomsticks and the Leaky Cauldron, complete with wizarding world cuisine and butterbeer on tap.

Shopping experiences will be equally immersive, with stores offering everything from house robes and scarves to collectible wands and creatures. These retail spaces are being designed to feel like wizarding shops, complete with moving portraits and enchanted displays.
Connection to Warner Bros Studio Tour
These new theme park attractions complement the already popular Warner Bros London studio experience and the making of Harry Potter studio tours. While the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio focuses on the filmmaking process and sets, these new theme park experiences are designed to let visitors step directly into the wizarding world as active participants.
Industry experts suggest that the combination of the educational Harry studio tour experiences and these new immersive theme park attractions will establish the UK as the premier destination for Harry Potter fans worldwide.

The attractions are designed to accommodate visitors of all ages, from young witches and wizards experiencing for the first time to longtime fans seeking deeper immersion in the wizarding world.
With these exciting new additions to the UK's tourism landscape, 2024 promises to be a landmark year for Harry Potter fans.
