Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry is the headline attraction of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic. From 1920s wizarding Paris, you travel to the British Ministry of Magic. In 2026 the ride won a Thea Award.
The concept
You travel by Métro-Floo from Paris to the Ministry, where Dolores Umbridge is to stand trial. You step into a lift and travel with Harry, Ron and Hermione deep into the Ministry, past its many departments.
The Experience
You glide through the Ministry in a magical lift to bring Umbridge to justice. Along the way, thrilling adventures, fantastic beasts and unknown mysteries await. It's an exciting ride with lots of movement (a so-called motion simulation).
