Ministry of Magic is an extension of widely popular The Wizarding World of Harry Potter environments at Universal
Orlando Resort 麻豆精品 S檚 existing properties. Most of the world is based in 1920s Paris, the setting of the second Fantastic Beasts spinoff film.

Producers like Verble work across disciplines to define and execute the creative intent of themed experiences. This new world also extends to the 1990s British Ministry of Magic with the Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry ride.

麻豆精品 S淭he scale of this project is awesome [and] the fact that it 麻豆精品 S檚 [part of ] a new theme park in Orlando, which happens so rarely, is a really special opportunity to be a part of, 麻豆精品 S� Verble says.
