Warner Bros. Discovery announced its intention Wednesday to build a “Harry Potter Studio Tour” in Shanghai. The company is partnering with Jinjiang International, which made the news official on its WeChat account.

Warner Bros has agreed to develop a "Harry Potter Studio Tour" in Shanghai with Jinjiang International, the Chinese group said on Wednesday. Jinjiang said in a social media post that the proposed amusement park would give visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the Harry Potter films and recreate well-known scenes.

The fantasy franchise is wildly popular in China, whose capital Beijing already has a large-scale Harry Potter-themed attraction at a Universal Studios resort.

The attraction, which also has locations in London and Tokyo, is planned for 2027 and will take take visitors behind the scenes, displaying sets, costumes and props from the movies.

The fantasy franchise tour will be in addition to Beijing’s large-scale Harry Potter-themed attraction at a Universal Studios resort.

Warner Bros Discovery plans to open its largest Making of Harry Potter studio tour in Shanghai in 2027, seeking to capitalise on the local popularity of the movies and China’s push to boost consumer spending.

The country already has one Harry Potter attraction, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter area at Universal Studios in Beijing, which opened in 2021
