I think this definitely falls under gameplay tips & tricks- because quite often, this game isn't just about the mechanics, it's about the other things too!
So i hope you don't mind @JulieJubz but I'm going to share the link to your thread from a while back to bring it back out.
In addition to the joy i think we all feel in seeing the Harry Potter Universe brought to like in the fantastic animations & gameplay of this game. There are the events, the call for a sense of community from the team & this month I think has been already the most amazing by far & we've plenty to go yet!!
So purely in the spirit of sharing how a game on a mobile phone can impact our lives- i want to say that I now get out more- esp now its getting colder- i usually hibernate for the winter! It's a positive focus when I need to escape reality, I laugh more, I've met some wonderful people who I feel are as friends now we've built up a rapport over these months.
I got my hubby & teen eventually to join with me, we walk in the parks, laugh when we get fluffy on a trace but the other 2 forgot to put one on! 😂 A friendly rivalry in who gained most xp or prestiged a page today. We immerse ourselves in the challenges & trials for a while- even the chat about that persistent red dot brings us together as comrades in arms- battling through til one day it may disappear! 😂 Weve busy lives, but WU has woven itself into the fabric of them.
The forum is perfect to help get our gameplay at its best & to just hear that others are having similar issues working things out is just what I needed as a first time gamer & not having a clue what i was doing!!
Heres the previous thread where people have shared how WU has influenced them if you would like to add anything-

Man, yes, absolutely. I actually went to the doctor today, and I was telling her about how I used to never leave the house doe to work, and how now I'm playing a game that makes me go outside every single day and how that's been really good for me, even if it's only for a few minutes.
Last community day, one of the other players and I went out to the mall after and just went searching for HP merch and it was fun as heck, and that community aspect has been amazing for all of us. We're all planning to do other things as well, which I am super looking forward to.
It's just really nice to start getting that much needed Vitamin D while also having some good ol' Harry Potter fun xD
Thanks for making another "feel good" thread @AuroraKadavra, I really love hearing more from others about that fun shenanigans they're getting into :D
That's fantastic @JulieJubz ! I think the daily tasks requiring us to visit inns & a fortress means we have to get out even for a short time! Which in your case when working from home freelance means you will push yourself to take a true break in the day where u leave it all behind & can come back fresh!
I've told my counsellor who knows I'm struggling to leave the house that I can enjoy getting out playing the game- I feel less anxious when i am ficused in that as i go along. Sometimes a passer by will chat & ask what I'm doing so intently on ny phone- i sheepishly show them it's a game lol, but have always received nice responses.
Plus me & hubby now regularly get an hour after tea out together & chat about the gameplay etc & leave the cares of the world behind for a while. Otherwise- I'm sure our chat would be centred around our troubles & a ĺot of complaining. We can do that at home lol!
The game is so immersive- I love to rave about finding a rare confoundable or a final trace to prestige a page. It's truly a total therapeutic break from the mundane 😀
So happy to hear its so similar to your experience 🤗😀
😍I love reading all this! Wizards Unite has had a very positive impact on my life as well, I'm so happy it has for all of you!
@HPWULola I'm so glad you've said that! I was worried when posting that it may come across as a bit 'over much' about a game & that it relects a bit badly on my life if it can have that much of an impact!!
But it's the truth- so I went ahead and posted it anyway lol. I think the nature of the game is unique & it's the engagement with characters we already love that makes it so much fun.
Me & hubby stayed out early eve til night today as we were close to finishing the event tasks & we ran into allsorts which had me jumping around like a kid lol!
It had me wandering round the park, chatting with hubby when normally id be tucked away in my room by that time. We put the world to rights as we pottered along lol.
Nothing has been able to get me out so much & making me feel happy with completing tasks & catching the rare finds.
I'm just very grateful that I have this now 😀❤
Please, please, please make sure you smother yourselves with sunscreen.
I've just had a skin cancer cut from my cheek. Pathology results show that it has spread so I had to have a second procedure. Awaiting the results.
@WerewolfChaser crossing my fingers that everything from here out is only good news for you!
Wishing you all the very best of luck @WerewolfChaser 🤞
@WerewolfChaser oh man, that's terrible news, I am so sorry! I hope the second procedure goes well and that you're rid of it all by the end. Wishing you the best 😰
@WerewolfChaser - keeping you in our thoughts & prayers
@WerewolfChaser prayers coming your way, hope the results are clean.
Wizard on!
@WerewolfChaser thats awfu! So sorry u are going through that! I hope the procedure results come back clear. Ul b in my thoughts x
That's definitely sound advice for all those being outdoors with the game it's easy to forget u are directly in the sun perhaps. Living in UK that's rarely an issue but for players in those warmer climes it's important to remember .
@WerewolfChaser Wishing you all the best. I hope the results from the procedure say you’re all clear.
@AuroraKadavra I love posts like this. Thank you. I didn't comment here originally, then I lost the post. I've been giving it a lot of thought.
First there is a very friendly supportive community here. I dont have a large social group. Not many Potter heads. I like the common love we have for the Potterverse.
I continue to learn new tips and tricks. As a lot of us solo play we can learn and help others here. There have been several face plan moments like how did I miss or not know that.
All of the forum fun topics are entertaining . I carry funny comments from the forum into game play. It makes the game more fun.
Also the @HPWULola and all the HPWU staff listen to all the witches and wizards. The game has had serval good updates that improve the game based on feedback from players.
Looking forward to getting my son a new HPWU compatible phone for Christmas and we can play together.
@WerewolfChaser haven't heard from you lately hope all is well. And spending you good wishes and healing thoughts.
@Owlx that's the perfect summary I think of how the game & forum work together!
Im the same, unfort quite poorly so don't get out as much as would like in a meeting with friends type social way, and im always solo fortress & so the social interactions on here really can make my day!
Its definitely taught me so much on here that i would have missed & the techy types are fab for helping with that side.
Basically- with u guys on here theres a lotta love for sure & that's always a good thing! ❤
