Magic Unveiled: Shanghai to Host a New Harry Potter Studio Tour

Warner Bros plans its third Harry Potter Studio Tour in Shanghai, in partnership with Jinjiang International. The 53,000 square meter attraction will offer behind-the-scenes experiences and recreate famous scenes from the films. It aims to open in 2027, pending regulatory approval.

In an exciting development for Harry Potter fans, Warner Bros has announced plans to establish a 'Harry Potter Studio Tour' in Shanghai. This venture is in collaboration with Jinjiang International, a significant player in China's amusement park industry.

The proposed studio tour promises to offer a deeper look into the magical world of Harry Potter, allowing visitors to experience behind-the-scenes insights and explore recreated scenes from the popular film series. Covering an extensive area of over 53,000 square meters, this site will be part of a major renovation of an existing Shanghai theme park managed by Jinjiang, and is anticipated to launch in 2027, contingent on regulatory approval.

This will be the third Harry Potter Studio Tour location worldwide, following successful installations in London and Tokyo. The Harry Potter franchise has a robust following in China, despite the country's tight regulations on foreign films and a governmental push towards indigenous content. Meanwhile, Universal Studios in Beijing already hosts 'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter,' underscoring the widespread appeal of the franchise across the nation.
