Wander the Streets of Wizarding Paris
Step back in time to 1920s Paris in Place Cachée, a magical hidden street from Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Explore cobblestone streets filled with spellbinding shops, cafes, and magical performers. Don’t miss Le Cirque Arcanus, a circus showcasing magical creatures, or stop by Café L’air De La Sirène for some delicious French pastries. For dinner, Le Gobelet Noir offers a mysterious and dark atmosphere for your meal. Before you leave, pick up a French wand from Cosme Acajor Baguettes Magiques to remember your visit.
Cast Spells on the Streets of Wizarding Paris
Sharpen your spell-casting skills with incredible new interactive wand experiences. Use your wand to cast spells and interact with fantastic beasts, enchanted objects, and hidden surprises throughout Place Cachée. Wave your wand at shop windows and watch antique portraits spring to life or see magical items respond to your commands. The interactive wands bring the magic of Paris to life like never before, making every step an immersive adventure.
Enter the British Ministry of Magic
From Paris, you’ll travel via the Paris Métro-Floo to 1990s London, where you’ll arrive at the iconic Ministry of Magic. The all-new dark ride Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry will take you on an immersive adventure following the events of the Battle of Hogwarts. You’ll join Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they try to stop Dolores Umbridge from escaping justice with the help of her Death Eater allies. It’s a thrilling journey full of magic, action, and familiar faces.
