February has long been established the month of all things romance, and the wizarding world is no exception. The Calamity is digging up some dirt in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite this month by manifesting scornful memories of lost loves and heartbreak. Members of the Statute of Secrecy have been tasked with dispelling these tragic reminders and restoring a more romantic atmosphere to the muggle world.
From thwarting unwanted affections to preserving cherished memories, here’s a rundown of everything witches and wizards can expect throughout this month of tainted love.
Darkest of Times Brilliant Event Part 2: February 4–11
The task force is still working on rounding up the last of the legacies pertaining to Dumbledore’s efforts against Voldemort. This includes the beloved headmaster’s Pensieve, among other pertinent fixtures tied to the historical events.
Crazy In Love Event: February 11–13
As Valentine’s day approaches and Cupid lets loose his arrows, affections will fly, and all wands should be readied to dispel lovestruck oddities. Nothing’s ever certain with the likes of the Calamity, but its track record of digging up memories better left buried stirs up thoughts of Lavender Brown and Romilda Vane.
Lost Love Brilliant Event Part 1: February 13–20
Come the middle of the month, true heartbreaks will get underway as the Calamity brings forth memories of cherished loved ones. Taskforce members must free these figures of wizarding history from their Confoundables. One such figure includes Minerva McGonagal, which begs the question, will the wizarding community be getting a glimpse into the Professor’s lost love life?
February Community Day: February 23
February’s community day will offer a short reprieve from the month’s disenchanted tone. Usually, scarce Doxies and Leprechauns can be expected to run rampant, causing mischief alongside other Oddities. These troublesome magical creatures will need to be rounded up and returned to their rightful habitats in the wizarding world. This endeavor will be made easier by utilizing the event-long bonus applied to Tonics of Trace Detection.
Lost Love Brilliant Event Part 2: February 25–March 3
Concluding February’s morose timeline, SOS members must take on the somber task of laying to rest the memories of the most tragic romances. This will include facing Foundables such as the Mirror of Erised and Severus Snape.
Wizards Unite is undoubtedly sticking to a formula of two-part events broken up by community days and seasonal festivities, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It provides the game with the sort of constant new content required for this genre.
The material itself boasts an abundance of nostalgia from wizarding lore, delivering it in a fresh and uniquely interactive way, which sustains the game’s core fanbase. There’s sure to be many reminders of lost love and tragic romance coming up this month. Hopeless romantics may have a tough time maintaining a dry eye.
