The highly anticipated land will open sometime during the end for 2026 to the mid of 2027, and for the upcoming studio expansion, it may open between 2027 to 28. Expect construction to be very fast, since planning for the expansion is finished, focusing on every minor/major details to make the lands as immersive. Expect the land to be more immersive the epic universe, while remaining indoors. The wizarding world is set to have 2-4 rides, as the area will almost double the park in size. Expect further announcement for future lands, after the announcement of Disney abudhabi.

Source? I think just copying the outdoor Hogsmeade land from Universal Studios Hollywood/Japan is sufficient enough to draw visitors especially Harry Potter fans from India.

Warner Bros. World doesn't have an outdoor portion like SeaWorld's Manta.

I don't see any construction yet...
