It is a part of the [Universal Epic Universe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-horror-unleashed) and is set to open its doors in 2025. The preview was showcased to fans recently by [Universal Orlando Resort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-helios-grand-hotel). The world will welcome visitors at Celestian Park where bright and whimsical gardens surround guests immediately. Once there, they can step through a space reflecting vintage Paris at Place Cachee which caters to witches and wizards. There are stone streets that are packed with shops, banners, and cafes. This is also a great opportunity to run into familiar characters from the wizarding world including officials and exchange students at Hogwarts.
