The Wizarding World is growing.

A newly announced Harry Potter-themed land is being developed for Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

According to the park, it will be the first Harry Potter-themed land in the Middle East.

"Together with our lands at Universal Parks, this will add a wholly new and spectacular destination for fans to immerse themselves in," Pam Lifford, president of Global Brands and Experiences at Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement shared by the Wizarding World, the official fan site for all things Harry Potter.

Details for the new land have not been revealed, but Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi says it will "invite fans to step inside iconic locations from the wizarding world, seen in an all-new way."

The park, located on Abu Dhabi's leisure-centered Yas Island, bills itself as the largest indoor theme park in the world.

Its current lands are themed around classic cartoon characters like Batman, Superman, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, and the Flintstones.
