This Parisian section will have shops and cafes before transporting visitors to the 1990s British Ministry of Magic for a new attraction, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry. The ride is reported to take guests through a trial of Dolores Umbridge, and the entire area uses portal theming to connect the French and British settings.
