We won’t be heading back too far into our past as I’m sure we’d rather look forward to what’s coming, so we’ll be taking a quick look at the 2018 and 2019 holiday events! In 2018, the holiday event was held at the Beaubois School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The event was led by Droobledore himself and supported by the Assistant to Head of Game Design at the time, Sam! As for the 2019 holiday celebration, it was instead held at the Dormunstrad School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and saw the introduction of multiple new store items - such as the Bluefyre Fiend pet.
Fun fact; Did you know that the 2016 Yule Ball was streamed and uploaded to the PotterworldMC Youtube channel? It’s still currently available for you to check out should you wish to!
Speaking of this year’s holiday event, on the 28th of November a graphic was released on both the Potterworld Instagram and Twitter showcasing and teasing the new event. This build was then later confirmed by current Head of Media Sunnya as the Japanese Wizarding school - where this year’s event is said to take place!
As the release of the event and build get closer and closer, I’ve interviewed two staff members, Cateo and KiraShock, plus two players, Ikexlo and LaceShock for their reaction to the Japanese school reveal and asked them what they’re most looking forward to in the event. Here’s what they said!
How are you feeling about the release of the Japanese School for this year’s Winter Waltz event?
Cate: I’m so excited!!! I’m sure the builders have done such an INCREDIBLE JOB!! I’m so excited to explore this beautiful place and read all it had to share! This is going to be so much fun!
Lace: This will actually be my first year playing on the server during the Christmas Event and I'm really excited about it! I think with the release of the Japanese school, it's going to be a truly cool experience!
Kira: Christmas is always something I look forward to on the server and with the release of the Japanese school I'm extra excited to experience it. The aspect of adding something new like the school is definitely something I can't wait to see for this year's Christmas.
Ikexlo: I’m feeling excited, and so pumped about it and can’t wait.
What are you most looking forward to or hoping for this year’s holiday event?
Cate: I’m looking forward to spending time with my friends while exploring! My best friend Somara (Somara_Montali) and I haven’t played Potterworld together as much as we used to since I joined the staff team, so I’m really looking forward to doing this event together!
Lace: I'm really looking forward to getting the collectibles at this Christmas event! At all the events you can get really cool items. I can't wait to see what all the builds and quests look like for this event!
Kira: I'm most looking forward to getting collectables at this year's Christmas event. It's always fun to see the new items you can get through the events especially the ones around Christmas, Another thing I'm hoping for is a lot of fun quests as well as cool builds that fellow players can explore.
Ikexlo: I’m hoping for the dance and ac!
With that, it now brings us to the end of this edition’s feature article. I would like to give a special thank you to those who were interviewed for their time and would like to urge you all to pay close attention to the announcement channel on our discord for updates regarding the event. Thank you all for reading and have a good day!
