2023 will mark the year a new Harry Potter theme park will open its doors in Tokyo!

According to Kyodo News, the Seibu Railway company would be closing its 94-year-old amusement park Toshimaen in Nerima, Tokyo, on 31st August to make way for the new Harry Potter theme park.
The new theme park is expected to be completed in the first half of 2023.
The upcoming Harry Potter theme park is reported to resemble the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London and visitors will be able to view production sets, get up-close with props like wands and potions, and they’ll even be able to take a walk down Diagon Alley.

The new park however, will not have rides like the Wizarding World at Universal Studios Japan.
The closing of the Toshimaen park will be bittersweet especially for those who have cherished childhood memories there. However, the new development will definitely bring as much joy to new generations of Potterheads.
Well, we know what we’ll be doing in 2023! Till then, we’ll be spending our time saving up as many galleons as we can!
