As Universal Orlando Resort prepares for the 2023 edition of Halloween Horror Nights, the theme park revealed a dark presence would be felt throughout The Wizarding World of Harry Potter this fall.

Running on select dates between September 1 and November 4, Death Eaters from the popular film and literature franchise will appear for the first time ever in Diagon Alley, bringing fear to the hearts of visitors.

Guests visiting Universal Orlando’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter will encounter the villainous Death Eaters, a group of devoted followers of Lord Voldemort who do not shy away from the practice of the Dark Arts.

The interactive live entertainment experience puts travelers face-to-face with these fanatic witches and wizards as they roam through London, lurk their way through the cobbled streets of Knockturn Alley and challenge guests to join the Dark Lord.

To honor the presence of the Death Eaters during the Halloween festivities, the theme park is offering a variety of themed merchandise and treats that will allow visitors to embrace their sinister side.

From dining at the Leaky Cauldron to taking home a unique wand from Ollivanders or even experiencing the multi-dimensional thrill ride—Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts—there are many ways for travelers to immerse themselves in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley.

Earlier this month, TravelPulse’s Brooke McDonald offered an inside look at Minion Land, a colorful addition to Universal Orlando. The area is a collaboration between Illumination and Universal’s creative team, with the land introducing a whimsical lineup of new family-friendly experiences and dining options to the park.
