Pride Month Particles

[emmamonty18]

Seeing all the fun particles that follow people around gave me an idea! When Pride month rolls around in June, I think it would be pretty cool if you could get particles that correspond to your sexuality/identity. Examples: Pansexuality would be yellow, pink and blue particles. Bisexuality would be blue, pink, and purple particles. Nonbinary would be yellow, white, purple and black. It could be just for the duration of Pride month, or an everyday thing. I just think it would be a cool way for people to show off their Pride in a whole new way! I haven't been on this server during a Pride event, so I'm not sure if this is a thing that already exists or not. I know there are banners and scarves from past events, but I think particles would be a fun way to celebrate!

That would be a ton of particles and therefore also a lot of work from the team taken. That work could be put in fancy spells available in upcoming events etc.
So I believe particles for all sexualities/identities is not a good idea. Even if you would only take a few, the demand for the others would be there by that point so it would either be all or none. The most simple answer i believe the team would pick is none.
Another option would be to put all of those particle effects on the store but having lots of particles for one store release doesnt seem right either.
Nonetheless very thoughtful and nice Suggestion!

Good day @emmamonty18,

First and foremost, we appreciate your thoughtful suggestion. At Potterworld, we strive to be as inclusive as possible. We have brought up your idea to the leadership team, and we have unfortunately declined this idea.

Unfortunately, it is complex to introduce new wand effects, and we would be adding many new combinations for pride month with this suggestion. After careful consideration, it sadly looks too complex for us to create and add new wand effects for every sexual orientation & gender identity celebrated during pride month. As also brought up by @HektorTM, if we introduced any new wand effects, we would have to make one for every orientation, not only for some. We hope that this is not too disappointing. However, we do currently have Rainbow Wand Particles which are perfect for every time, but especially for celebrating Pride & Pride Month. These are available in the store.

If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to reach out.
