Hello witches and wizards!

As we start July, we are excited to announce the winner of last month's giveaway, as well as announce this month's new prompt!

In June, we had many fantastic pieces of art submitted that fit the rainbow theme! From prideful pieces to outstanding artwork, those in our art community showed their talent once again! And so, without further ado, the June winner is… Hopecute23! They will receive the prize of 150 Potter Points and 100 House Points today.

Now onto the July giveaway & theme!

To reiterate, the Monthly Art Giveaway is a way for players to create any art form (MC build, render, drawing, writing, craft, etc.) while fitting a specific theme. One winner will be randomly picked at the end of the month, and will receive 150 Potter Points and 100 House Points!

This month's prompt is to create a piece involving zodiac signs!

Giveaway Guidelines:

We are very excited to announce that the Arena team will be moving from the Game Design department into the Academics department!

Arena members and current Academics members will continue to do their jobs as usual, with the former running challenges and tournaments, and the latter running classes! Our Class Design team will now begin to create content for the entire merged department, which hopefully means more exciting interactive experiences for you all in the near future. We cannot wait to see how our teams continue to grow from here!

Welcome to the Academics weekly assignment for the week of June 26th, 2022! These weekly assignments will give our Professors the ability to showcase some of their lesson ideas here on the website. Each assignment will be posted for a week, in which everyone will be able to read about the topic and respond to the assignment prompt. This week's assignment is "Dark Arts - Grieving Goblets" created by Lyra (myriadofanger).

Salutations Everyone!

We would like to update you all on a change we are making within our Game Design Department on staff. We are shifting teams around internally to help us focus on better and more evergreen (meaning it won’t go away) content moving forward. As always, we try to evaluate where we are investing our efforts and the engagement from the community. At this time, we will be shifting and merging some teams to help us double our efforts in other areas.

- The Inquisitor sub team will be discontinued and merged into the greater Game Design team as content creators.
- The Arena team will be moving to Academics and continuing their work under that department.
- The Systems team is also merging into the greater Game Design team as content creators.
- Magiventologists (Events) and Unspeakables (World Content) will be merged into the greater Game Design team.
- The Lore Department will stay as it is but shifted to focus on more game facing content!

So what does this mean for what to expect on the community end? Community Engagements are currently being discontinued as a form of content. We will be holding our last Community Engagement event at the end of June 2022. We have included an exclusive “closing reward” for those who have obtained all the collectables from the Community Engagement events over this year! The Arena team will continue to create tournaments and challenges as they always have so there will be no change on the community front. Systems will continue their work but under the main umbrella of the Game Design content creation team. Events will still be created just as normal, but with a bigger team. World content will still be created but also pulled from a larger team.

We would...

Hello everyone,

We have made the difficult decision to disband the Potterwatch team as it currently is. Performers are unfortunately being let go, BUT our Directors will be moving into the WizNetworker team where they will still make videos, now as Video WizNetworkers. The setup of the team will be similar to Arithmancers where we have sub-teams within the team that focus on different things.

With this change, we'll also be shifting our focus onto only update/teaser videos for our YouTube channel and Instagram Reels relating to anything PW (we may look into TikTok in the future, but we're starting with reels first). These changes are being made as we've noticed that videos & streams on our YouTube channel (aside from updates/teasers) are not as popular, despite taking a lot of time/effort to record and edit.

Having had the Potterwatch team around for 7 years now, we've seen the team's ups and downs firsthand. It hurts to disband a team that means so much to us, but it is ultimately what we believe to be necessary. With this change, the Media & Public Relations department can work better as a unified team to create content.

Potterwatch will always hold a place in our hearts and remains an important part of Potterworld's history. We'd like to thank the many people who have been a part of this team in the last 7 years as Directors & Performers. A big thank you also goes out to those who were most recently on Potterwatch.
