Harry Potter: Wizards Unite recently announced its first Community Day with nothing but a date and left the fanbase wondering exactly what to expect. Players could look to Pokemon GO Community Days for speculation, but that concept doesn't transfer over very cleanly to the Hogwarts-themed mobile AR game. The details have finally arrived though, and witches and wizards can now start planning for their very first Community Day.
First off, Wizards Unite is celebrating with a new Brilliant Event a few days before Community Day kicks off. The Brilliant event gets underway tomorrow and should help build some hype heading into the July Community Day.
Details about both events follow, so be sure to take careful note of the dates and bonuses available with each...
Brilliant Event
Get ready for Potter’s Calamity Brilliant Event! An unusually high number of Harry Potter-related Foundables have appeared. Complete the event to earn Gold, Restricted Section Books, a new Ministry Portrait Lens, and more! Week One runs from July 16 - July 23 PDT. Week Two runs from July 30 - August 6 PDT. Each week will have different tasks and Registry pages for you to complete, so make sure you’re ready for both! (Both weeks start and end at 11am Pacific Time.)
Community Day
The first-ever Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Community Day starts on July 20th! This Community Day will include a Free Store Pack with 50 Spell Energy and 1 Barrufio’s Brain Elixir, 3x XP when you use Barrufio’s Brain Elixir, an increase of Traces on the Map, with a higher chance of seeing Hogwarts School Traces. Also, Dark Detectors will last double the length of time when placed in Inns.
Asian Pacific: 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. AEST (UTC +10)
Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India: 10:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. UTC
The Americas and Greenland: 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. PDT (UTC -7)
Ministry ID Portrait
Keep an eye out for special Portrait Lenses throughout the month!
Achievements
"We will be removing the “Visit 2 Countries” Achievement from the game while we try to fix a known issue with this Achievement not tracking when a player has visited a different country. Stay up to date with Release Notes to know when we have fixed this issue."
That lineup of bonuses definitely sounds exciting, though it will be interesting to see if the event turns out to be as successful as its Pokemon GO counterpart. The inclusion of shiny releases with each PoGO Community Day sort of make them a must-play event and the Wizards Unite event may not have as powerful of a draw.
Be sure to check back in the coming days for more Wizards Unite news, updates, and strategy guides. Until then, keep your wands at the ready, witches and wizards.
