Constructed by [[Muggle]]s as the centerpiece of the 1889 World's Fair, it holds no inherent magical properties and is not mentioned at any point in the original seven //Harry Potter// novels. Its existence within the wider [[Wizarding World]] is acknowledged in supplementary materials, where it serves as a major geographical marker for [[Paris]]. The city is home to a significant magical community, including the [[French Ministry of Magic]] (Ministère des Affaires Magiques de la France) and was a key location during [[Gellert Grindelwald]]'s global wizarding war. =====Role in the Story===== The [[Eiffel Tower]] plays no role in the main narrative concerning [[Harry Potter]]. Its significance is confined to establishing the setting in related media. In 1927, the tower was a prominent feature of the Parisian skyline when [[Newt Scamander]] traveled to the city to track down [[Credence Barebone]] and confront [[Gellert Grindelwald]]. The magical [[Circus Arcanus]] was located in a square near the tower during this time (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald). =====Known Areas Within===== There are no known magical areas, hideouts, or establishments located within the [[Eiffel Tower]] itself. =====Behind the Scenes===== The only appearance of the [[Eiffel Tower]] within the [[Wizarding World]] franchise is in the film //[[Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald]]//. It is featured in several establishing shots to clearly identify the film's primary setting as [[Paris]] and to ground the magical events within a recognizable [[Muggle]] environment.
