Based on Wizards of the Coast, Harry Potter will not be flying his broom anyplace close to Magic: The Gathering‘s multiverse — a minimum of for the foreseeable future. Mother or father firm Hasbro announced on Feb. 10 that it had entered right into a “multi-year licensing partnership” with Warner Bros. Discovery associated to Harry Potter to launch licensed “dolls, position play, motion figures & collectibles, interactive plush, board video games and extra to be revealed later this 12 months.” Magic followers instantly speculated it may result in a Harry Potter Universes Past set. However the Wizards of the Coast group crew rapidly responded to squash the rumor mill: “The Magic Multiverse has its personal college of Magic at Strixhaven with loads of secrets and techniques nonetheless to discover,” the put up reads. “Our Universes Past roadmap at the moment would not have us visiting any others.”
After the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universes Past set slated for a March 6 launch, the following Magic set is Secrets and techniques of Strixhaven due out on April 24, which focuses on the magical college positioned on the aircraft of Arcavios. So it stands to cause that Wizards would not need something associated to The Boy Who Lived to overshadow Magic‘s personal college of witchcraft and wizardry. (Even when Strixhaven getting into the Tri-Wizard Match sounds fairly rad.)
To be honest, the traces blur fairly a bit in the case of collaborations between Hasbro, Wizards, and different corporations and types. A couple of hours after the Harry Potter partnership was introduced, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks mentioned it moments earlier than delving into Magic‘s ongoing success. One specific slide within the presentation to buyers put Harry Potter side-by-side with posters of the Okay-Pop Demon Hunters, Avenue Fighter, and Voltron motion pictures.
Earlier this February, Hasbro announced a toy collaboration with Legendary Leisure for the brand new Avenue Fighter film, a franchise that is already seen Secret Lair Drops up to now. Hasbro additionally announced the toy licensing deal for Okay-Pop Demon Hunters again in October 2025. Days later, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks confirmed through the 2025 Q3 earnings name that Wizards would put out a Okay-Pop Demon Hunters Secret Lair Drop someday in 2026. September 2025 additionally noticed the announcement of a broader Play-Doh collaboration — which led to a Secret Lair Drop weeks later. Assuming Harry Potter may additionally wind up in Magic actually is not that nice a leap of religion to take contemplating the historical past right here.
Notably now that the model is squarely inside the wider Hasbro ecosystem, Harry Potter UB is unquestionably extra attainable than it was yesterday. The franchise can be simply naturally match with its wizards, goblins, wands, dragons, and different fantasy staples — particularly in comparison with another upcoming crossovers.
Regardless of Wizards’ assertion, the hypothesis itself speaks to how blurred the boundaries between Hasbro’s manufacturers have turn out to be. With Marvel Tremendous Heroes, The Hobbit, and Star Trek units all due out this 12 months, something and the whole lot feels attainable for Magic as of late. As the corporate continues to roll out toy, movie, and recreation partnerships that more and more intersect with Magic — which stays the corporate’s most worthwhile enterprise arm — it’s straightforward to see why followers assume Harry Potter may nonetheless finally observe the identical path. For now, Strixhaven is the one wizarding college Magic followers will go to within the close to future.
