Potterworld's 7th Anniversary
Potterworld is celebrating its 7th Anniversary! The Ministry of Magicians has opened the doors to a secret expansion of the Clock Room that will enable players to travel back to favorite events of the past. Speak to Kevin outside the Great Hall to join the festivities and take a trip through Potterworld’s history.
Time Travel
You will receive your very own Temporal Turner to travel to six past events including Winter Waltz at Dormunstrad, Halloween in Halloweentown (Trickington), Butterbrew in Hogsend, Carnival, Fine Arts Festival, and the Survival Closing Ceremony.
However, your Temporal Turner won’t work unless you collect Temporal Sand. You can obtain Temporal Sand in 3 ways: completing daily quests, playing minigames, and collecting hidden nodes throughout the Clock Room. Playing minigames generates Temporal Sand over time, so make sure to speak to the Minigames NPC in the Clock Room to check if you have any sand to collect. After you have enough sand, you can permanently unlock the next event location containing more quests and activities. Unlocking each of the past event locations will give access to purchasing a few exclusive rewards.
Quests
In your Quest Journal, you will see a new icon for the Anniversary Event. There are seven new main quests including an introduction quest and a quest for each of the past event locations. There are additionally several new daily quests that can be completed once per twelve hours. You can use your Quest Journal to find starting coordinates as well as track your daily quest cooldowns.
Minigames
You can earn Event Tokens and generate Temporal Sand by playing...

May the Fourth Event
May the Fourth be with you! The Centennial Hawk has landed near the Boathouse to transport Hogsworth students to a Galaxy Far Far Away. Join the fight between the Rebels and Imperials in our seasonal minigames! Speak to Jayoda on the Centenial Hawk to travel to the Cantina, where you can purchase exclusive rewards and explore other new gameplay features.
Minigames
Our seasonal May the Fourth minigames have been enabled! Type /games to join the queue for Star Racing or a featured Star Battle game mode. Each week, a new Star Battle gamemode will be enabled. The order is as follows:
Week 1: Payload
Week 2: Domination
Week 3: Star Battle
Week 4: You Decide! Whichever mode has the most plays during the week it is enabled will come back.
This year, we’ve introduced a few new maps for the Star Battle game modes! The map will be randomly chosen for modes with multiple maps. After listening to player feedback, we have eliminated team selection before the start of the game to equalize teams.
You may notice that Star Racing is not currently accessible. We've run into some last-minute bugs and it will be available starting later today or tomorrow. Please enjoy the rest of our event content in the meantime!
In-Game Content
A new escape room quest, Escape from Doom Moon, can be accepted from the Rebel Commander at the Cantina.
Instead of simply purchasing a Plasma Blade, you will now work to assemble it yourself! The steps to assemble a Plasma Blade include:
- Crafting a Hilt in the Lightsaber Workshop
- Searching for the perfect Kryalite on Illius
- Combining the components into your very own Plasma Blade
