Harry Potter and Ministry of Magic Coming to Universal Epic Universe

To celebrate the opening of Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry coming to Universal Epic Universe on May 22, 2025, Universal Orlando Resort is sharing a sneak peek inside the full-scale recreation of the British Ministry of Magic.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic will take guests through the grand Ministry atrium, Dolores Umbridge’s office, other departments and areas, before boarding omnidirectional lifts to attend Umbridge’s trial.

Once inside the Ministry of Magic Atrium, visitors will witness Ministry offices, a restored Fountain of Magical Brethren statue, the enchanted weather ceiling, and more intricate details, as well as learning that Umbridge’s trial is that day.

Travelers through the Harry Potter experience can also see the empty Ministry Reception area and Umbridge’s Office, where they will meet her elf, Higgledy. Universal revealed that designers focused on intricate details to fully immerse guests in the Ministry.

When everyone is loaded onto the Magical Ministry Lifts, guests will find themselves on a chase to catch Umbridge as she attempts to escape her trial, all while dodging attacks from the Death Eaters and other creatures.

Additional areas guests will soar through in the British Ministry include the Magical Archives, the Department of Magical Creatures, and the Time Room.

Travelers planning on coming to visit Universal next year can purchase The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Exclusive Vacation Package, which includes seven-night hotel accommodations, a five-day theme park ticket that provides four days of park-to-park access to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure, plus one separate day admission to Universal Epic Universe.
