The resort said it plans to introduce more "Harry Potter" attractions and merchandise, aiming to draw more visitors to the wizarding world section.

Universal Beijing Resort will launch the "Death Eaters Takeover" experience from Sept. 5 to Nov. 2 in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

The interactive experience features performers dressed as Death Eaters — villains from the "Harry Potter" series — roaming through Hogsmeade village and interacting with visitors. Visitors can experience magical battles against the evil wizards and purchase exclusive Death Eater-themed merchandise during the event.
