"For the first time ever, fans of Harry Potter will soon be able to sleep inside a fully themed Harry Potter hotel, and surprisingly, it will not be at Universal Studios. Instead, the world’s first official Harry Potter–themed hotel is coming to LEGOLAND Deutschland Resort in Günzburg, Germany, as part of a massive new expansion created in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences and Merlin Entertainments," the Travel Pirates says.

"Until now, immersive Harry Potter experiences have been concentrated at Universal parks in Florida, California, Japan, and China. While those destinations feature highly detailed lands and rides, none has ever offered official Harry Potter hotel accommodations."

"In a historical collaboration between Merlin Entertainments and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences, a world-first Harry Potter land and accompanying hotel should open in Germany in the near future. The new universe will be part of Legoland Deutschland Resort in Gunzbürg," the Travel Tomorrow says.

"Since the publication of J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book in 1997, the magical world has conquered many a heart across the world. Over the years, the original universe has been expanded many a time, through movies but also in other ways, such as the Fantastic Beast films, a West End show, and multiple video games.
