When Universal first announced Fan Fest Nights, they stated the new event would “celebrate the best of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Gaming, and Anime” including “Star Trek,” “Back to the Future,” and Dungeons & Dragons.

They’ve now added The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to the lineup and revealed on social media that “Harry Potter” offerings will include “Magical creatures and more experiences,” including a Niffler encounter.

The adorable echidna-like Nifflers were featured in the “Fantastic Beasts” films, as well as in the original “Harry Potter” books and various video games.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe in Florida is expected to incorporate several magical creatures. Fantastic beasts were also introduced in various experiences at Universal Studios Japan last year.
