Wizarding World of Harry Potter Expansion Confirmed at Epic Universe

Construction permits confirmed a massive 150,000 square foot expansion adjacent to the Ministry of Magic portal at Epic Universe, designated as Project 905. Foundation permit expiration is set for June 30, 2026, indicating groundbreaking should begin in the coming months.

The most common fan theory is that the expansion will feature a broomstick-flying attraction, though Universal has not confirmed the building's purpose. The expansion is driven by Battle at the Ministry's staggering 6-8 hour wait times, which have highlighted the need for additional capacity.

This would be the fourth Wizarding World of Harry Potter area across Universal's Orlando parks, following Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and the Ministry of Magic.
