Happy Butterbrew!

This year, Kevin is excited to bring the Butterbrew celebration to Hogsworth's front door - decorating the courtyard and inviting his friends to help whisk you away to other locations, with new and old activities alike!

Activities
You will find 3 activities spread throughout the courtyard, including Order Up, Butterbrew Edition, Butterbrew Tavern, and Pretzel Making! Please note that our Pretzel Making activity is still waiting for a shipment of ingredients, so this unfortunately won't be released quite yet. We will update you once this is released! You'll want to complete the activities in order to obtain the rewards found at the Collectable NPC.

Rewards
You can purchase rewards with Gold at the Collectable NPC found at one of the stands in the Courtyard! Some rewards may be locked behind completing certain activities, so be sure to complete the activities even if your Grimlott's vault is otherwise full!

Update: Potterworld will be re-opening tomorrow (Wednesday November 5) PST.

We have concluded our initial testing of both the server and the new levelling experience, and are now beginning to let staff back in assist with build edits and testing.

The Build team will use the next 12-24 hours to finish key build edits before we re-open. In the mean time we will continue to migrate the Classes system in aims of resuming classes tomorrow too!

We thank everyone for their patience thus far, and we're excited to have everyone join us in 1.18 very soon!

[Updated Monday November 3 2025 - 0530 PST]

Update: Our testing thus far has been going well! We have our first 1.18 live worlds running now, complete with the new levelling experience.

Over the next 12-24 hours we will continue to test the new levelling experience and other 1.18 changes. Whilst this is ongoing, we will begin migrating our classes server and complete any remaining database chores.

We are aiming to provide an update tomorrow as to when Potterworld will reopen, however our approach will likely be staggered, with classes, minigames, and housing all returning incrementally as we complete our migrations on them.

[Updated Sunday November 2 2025 - 1437 PST]

Update: We have a couple of servers running on 1.18 now on which staff are verifying and making adjustments.

All general data migrations and conversions have now completed. Next steps are to do more verification on the backend and to migrate more servers. We also have some challenges to solve regarding the housing plots as those cannot...

As Head, Tang will continue to lead the management of the Academics department to continue delivering amazing classes and challenges for players to enjoy!

Salutations everyone!

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Droobledore, and I am the creator and owner of PotterworldMC. For those of you who do know me, it has been a moment, but I am excited and glad to speak to you all once again!

Several months ago, I made an announcement that I was going to be taking a step back from PotterworldMC to focus on other endeavors and real life. At that time, I passed on the very important role of guiding and content creation to the Potterworld Staff team! It never ceases to amaze me how much passion and care the staff put into creating content. I have always been honored to work alongside such a great team!

Well, today, I have another announcement for you all. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, Noah and Chailey came to me to discuss their resignation. I would like to thank them for all of their hard work and dedication to the server over the last half-decade, including their contributions to events, roleplay, and world content. With them leaving the team, I have therefore decided that I will be stepping back into the seat of Game Director for PotterworldMC! During this transition period of a few weeks, we'll be working to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible, with Chailey and Noah finishing a few things in the coming weeks before their departure.

They’ve asked me to pass along a message from them to all of you:

Greetings, witches and wizards,

With the weather approaching cooler temperatures, watch out for our spotted antennae friends! The skies are beginning to turn temperamental, so use our Crimson Store Releases to come prepare! This includes 3 new permanent releases, plus a cherry-red addition to one of our favourite death-defying bundles! Let’s embrace our spots and set flight, destination Crimson Store Releases!
