As Universal Orlando Resort prepares for the 2023 edition of
Halloween Horror Nights, the theme park revealed a dark presence would be felt
throughout The Wizarding World of Harry Potter this fall.
Running on select dates between September 1 and November 4, Death
Eaters from the popular film and literature franchise will appear for the first
time ever in Diagon Alley, bringing fear to the hearts of visitors.
Guests visiting Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry
Potter will encounter the villainous Death Eaters, a group of devoted followers
of Lord Voldemort who do not shy away from the practice of the Dark Arts.
The interactive live entertainment experience puts travelers
face-to-face with these fanatic witches and wizards as they roam through
London, lurk their way through the cobbled streets of Knockturn Alley and
challenge guests to join the Dark Lord.
To honor the presence of the Death Eaters during the
Halloween festivities, the theme park is offering a variety of themed merchandise
and treats that will allow visitors to embrace their sinister side.
From dining at the Leaky Cauldron to taking home a unique
wand from Ollivanders or even experiencing the multi-dimensional thrill ride—Harry
Potter and the Escape from Gringotts—there are many ways for travelers to
immerse themselves in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley.
Earlier this month, TravelPulse’s Brooke McDonald offered an
inside look at Minion
Land, a colorful addition to Universal Orlando. The area is a collaboration
between Illumination and Universal’s creative team, with the land introducing a
whimsical lineup of new family-friendly experiences and dining options to the
park.
