Merlin Entertainments and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences have announced that they are collaborating to create the world’s first Lego Harry Potter land and the first-ever Harry Potter-themed guest accommodation at Legoland Deutschland Resort.
This new land in Germany will be the first to combine Hogwarts with Lego bricks in a location-based experience.
Fiona Eastwood, CEO of Merlin Entertainments, says: “Partnering with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences is the ultimate showcase of what we do best – transforming the world’s most iconic brands into memorable, immersive experiences for millions of guests.

"We’re incredibly excited to unveil LEGO Harry Potter on an epic scale, as we accelerate the growth of LEGOLAND Resorts and elevate them into world-class destinations.
"This partnership launches at our Resort in Germany and marks Merlin’s largest-ever single investment into an existing site, reflecting our strategy to prioritise locations with the greatest growth potential. I can’t wait to see our brilliant creative teams come together to bring this magical new land to life, enchanting fans with spellbinding adventures and iconic characters."
A new way to experience the wizarding world
Peter van Roden, EVP Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, says:
“Working alongside Merlin Entertainments and the LEGO Group over the years has always led to unforgettable and unique experiences for fans, and we are thrilled to extend the partnership with one of our most beloved franchises."
