Hi everyone! There is a new update available for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Also, get ready for our next Brilliant Event: Stronger United! Stayed tuned for more details.
New Features
Potions:
- Potions, like Estimulo and Wit-Sharpening, will now persist across Encounters and Wizarding Challenges. Any remaining spell cast effects will be available in subsequent Encounters.
Ministry ID Portrait:
- Player’s most recently saved Portrait will become the default image when they enter Portrait Editor. Now, you can check out new lenses, stickers, frames, and filters without having to capture a new Portrait.
Photo Mode:
- Players can now take AR Photos with the Pixie Oddity! Share your fun photos on this post! @HPWURobert captured this fun picture outside of our office! Everyone, share your AR Pixie photos in the comments below.
Settings:
- New Feature: Quest Alerts! You will now see an in-app message pop up whenever you complete a Daily Task, Achievement, or Special Assignment Task.
Bug Fixes:
Professions:
- Fixed an issue where nodes on the Profession skill tree appeared badged when the player does not have enough Profession currency required to upgrade the node
Wizarding Challenges:
- Fixed an issue where Foes appeared to receive Stamina or have negative Stamina after being attacked or defeated.
- Aurors Only: Fixed an issue where Aurors did not receive Focus when they defeated a Foe with the Bat-Bogey Hex
General:
- Android Only: Fixed an issue with players get stuck on the loading screen when trying to log into the game with a Google account, after creating a Niantic Kid’s Account
- Fixed an issue where players were unable to reach Level 60 and were stuck at 1 XP in Level 59
- Fixed an issue where switching from AR to Park Mode during an Encounter caused the visuals to shake
Known Issues:
Encounters:
- Players may experience a server error when returning 5 or more Traces in quick succession
Registry:
- Foundables that are not from Trace Encounters can sometimes have a high ‘Seen’ number, even if they are not seen in Trace Encounters
- Foundables in Photo Mode may flip around when a player taps to reposition the Foundable
Wizarding Challenges:
- Players may not be able to re-enter a Wizarding Challenge if they are kicked out due to a connection issue.
Potions:
- When a rental cauldron has expired, it may appear that you can still add Potions to the queue even though you cannot.

@HPWULola New brilliant event! Awesome! Thanks for the details on the update and Brilliant event! 😊
Where's the pixie pic?😂
@Dogoutlaw Oh yeah, forgot about that by the time I got to the end of the post. 😂
@HPWULola So soon? Many thanks, so happy I recently fully restocked my potions!
Thank you for getting rid of the Red Dot of Painful Annoyance in the Professions.
@Dogoutlaw OMG!!! Good catch 😂I just reread my post and I'm LOLing at that part.
It was such an artistic photo too...
@HPWULola It's like me forgetting an attachment on an email at work.... Tooo funny!
Awesome, I see it now!
@Dogoutlaw I remember that happened to me with a final college essay once! It was horrible, but luckily my Professor was forgiving 😊
@HPWULola
Huge thanks there's no red dot on profession anymore💃🕺💃🧙♀️
@HPWULola a pixie invaded our kitchen...
@MrSciGuy update notes here
FYI for apple users. The update is still unavailable in the Apple App Store.
@HPWULola One feature that would be nice, since it appears to be possible, would be the in-app message pop-up whenever there are new assets to download. Ideally remaining there until assets have been downloaded.
When I last looked, the "75Mo to download" and "You need at least 3.3Go to download the assets" had added up to 4.4Go. That'd be a whole lot of data to lose due to lack of warning. More than some people have for a month.
Apple has the event, but it's listed as [quests_events_brilliant0006_name_w1] and w2]...
now available at apple app store
but first you might need yo turn your iphone off, then back on, before getting it at app store
Any word on an update to tracking distance with the app closed for portkeys?
The red dot is goooooone!!! Woohoo!! Yay! My sanity! 😂
Can't wait for the new event! Awesome update!! Not got the new LOH page i heard about yet but rest seems b working great 😀
Great update and finally red dot is gone :-D
More spawn of severe foundables, please! :-)
Thank you!
I'm SO happy with the update!! The red dot is gone across professions. I could cry! haha.
Loving the update!
Had a feeling the persistence of potions across encounters was coming
Awesome feature! Thank you!
Thank you SOOO much for fixing the profession red dot and photo issues!! And I'm LOVING the potions spanning multiple foes now!! :D The only problem I'm experiencing is that I'm not seeing the new "Room of Requirement V" page in the Legends of Hogwarts registry that some others are seeing. I've downloaded all assets, force quit the game, and rebooted my phone with no change. Below is a screenshot from another user to show the page I'm referring to:
@TheRainbowBrite it was removed for now. It was apparently causing crashes for people not yet on 2.6. I am guessing they are waiting for a little more adoption of the update before putting it back.
@Ginnungagap Thanks for the info!! I just wanted to make sure I was all set for tomorrow's event :)
This version appears to have broken the game on android. None of the buttons work on the main screen. I was forced to update. Not sure how to go back to 2.5.
@Orangehooodie and anyone else experiencing this, we are looking into a fix now. Follow progress here:"https://community.harrypotterwizardsunite.com/en/discussion/3553/in-progress-map-ui-may-become-unresponsive-after-updating-to-2-6-0/p1?new=1
I have an iPhone and my buttons are not working. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled, but it did not fix the issue.
The update will lock up the app except for doing traces. Niantic support is working on the issue for Android phones.
Hey all, we have confirmed the bug does exist on both Android and iOS devices. The team is investigating a fix and we will update you when we know something. Thank you for your patience 💙
