The Death Eaters are coming back to Universal Orlando Resort.
Universal confirmed today that the masked and robed followers of "he who must not be named" will return to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida for select nights starting August 29 and continuing through November 3 this fall.
Those perhaps not so coincidentally happen to be the dates for Halloween Horror Nights this year - an event that seemingly must not be named in press releases about Harry Potter and The Wizarding World. You think Death Eaters are scary? Then don't wander into a dark courtroom with Warner Bros. lawyers.
Anyway, here is a look at the Death Eaters in action during Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood last year. (We are still awaiting confirmation of the Death Eaters' return in Hollywood.)
In Orlando, the Death Eaters will be lurking throughout London and especially in Knockturn Alley.

Have it on good authority we won't be seeing Death Eaters in Hollywood this year. Really dig the addition in Orlando — Diagon Alley is a great place to hang out and relax during the busier times of the night. If you utilize Stay and Scream and stay to the end of the night, you'll typically have time to get all the mazes done at the very least.

In my view, Death Eaters are really just an excuse for Universal to keep Diagon Alley open during HHN, which serves as a bit of overflow space allowing Universal to cram more guests into the park. It does give you an excuse to make your way back into the Wizarding World, but the reality is that if you don't have an Express Pass or don't plan on making multiple visits to HHN, there's far too much stuff to do during HHN to be wasting time in Diagon Alley hoping to catch a glimpse of these.
