Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. plans to open its largest Making of Harry Potter studio tour in Shanghai in 2027, seeking to capitalize on the local popularity of the movies and China’s push to boost consumer spending.

The joint venture with Chinese travel and hospitality conglomerate Jinjiang International still needs regulatory approval, Warner Bros. said in a statement, which didn’t include financial details. The Harry Potter studio tour in Tokyo, which opened in 2023, cost a reported $115 million.
