About the Authors
Welcome, Sorcerer‘s Apprentice! You are the newest member of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force. As a registered member, you’ve set your foot upon the path to becoming a powerful magician. And you’ll need your newfound powers immediately, for a terrible thing has happened: A new threat has befallen the Wizarding World, and magical items, creatures, people, and even memories are popping up all over the Muggle world.1
The Wizarding World is in danger of being exposed!2 We must not jeopardize our Statute of Secrecy (SOS). Hard to imagine what would happen if every single Muggle were to witness these magical incidents. We’d never be able to summon up that many «Obliviators».
Which is precisely why we created the Task Force, a collaboration between the Ministry of Magic and the International Confederation of Wizards. Among our task force members are such outstanding magicians as Constance Pickering, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter.
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite brings together the stories and characters you already know from the magical worlds of the original Harry Potter series and the Fantastic Beasts films to create a new and unique experience.
Now it‘s up to you to whip out your wand, brew your potions, learn your spells, and help check the danger that threatens to expose the secrets of the Wizarding World. Witches and Wizards of the world, unite!
The magical world of Harry Potter is filled with secrets just waiting for you to unearth them. We invite you to experience this world for yourself, to let it surprise and enchant you. That‘s why we won’t be providing the details of every little twist and turn. Instead, we’ll be focusing on the things that will help you advance in the game.
You can use this guide as a companion as you play or as a handy reference for specific topics and features. If you read the book before you start playing, you should have the tools for efficient advancement in the Wizarding World so that you can quickly become a powerful magician.
We wrote this guide as something that we, as players, would have loved to have: someone to take us by the hand and show us the ropes. When we first started playing Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, there were no on- or offline guides. Because of that, our early days and weeks in the Wizarding World were fraught with a lot of trial and error. Had we known then what we’ve put together in this book, we would have climbed the spell ladder a lot faster.
The book is based on the authors’ experience playing a beta version of the game weeks before its official launch. That’s why we’d now like to share that first-hand experience and give you some useful tips for the road.
But before you set out on your big adventure, you need to know that Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is not about attaining a fixed goal. There is no final boss or final level. Here, the path is the goal.
So take the first step today, and enjoy your trek through the Wizarding World!

Like a bit of magic itself, every barcode conceals a video on the topic discussed in each section. These videos will help you understand our tips even faster. To access the video online, just scan the barcode with your smartphone camera.
The authors are aware that digital online games like Wizards Unite receive regular updates that can change and improve your gaming experience. We account for this by focusing on the game’s basic features and interrelations of items and characters instead of a multitude of changing details like the exact prices of items in the shop.
In this chapter, we‘ll show you how to install and set up Harry Potter: Wizards Unite on your smartphone. For an easier set-up experience, we recommend that you read this entire first section before downloading the app.
Step one is to download the game to your smartphone or tablet from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The app is called Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and is offered by Niantic, Inc.
Android smartphone users will need to have Android 5.0 or later. Niantic recommends a minimum of 2GB RAM and at least 2GB of free space for Android smartphones.
Apple iPhone users will need an iPhone 5s or more recent model with iOS 10.0 or later.
The game requires both an Internet connection and GPS.
Once you’ve downloaded the game, you can create your Harry Potter: Wizards Unite account. You can do this through your Facebook or Google login. If you’re under 13 years old, you can only register through the offer on Niantic Kids

The journey of even the greatest Wizard and mightiest Witch begins with the first step. In Wizards Unite, this first step is exactly the same for every player, which is why we’ll now walk you through your first mission. After that, you’ll be off to explore the Wizarding World on your own terms.
Once you’ve registered, you’ll be asked for your first and last name. The name you enter here is visible only to you. It appears on your Ministry ID and does not have to match the name you use in the “real” world of the ➛Muggles.
By clicking once on the two intertwined shuffle arrows, the app can also suggest a name that sounds like it came from J.K. Rowlings‘s own pen. You can change this name at any time.
Next, you’ll need to choose a code name that has to be unique in the world of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. There can be only one instance of each name, so there’s a good chance that your favorite name will already be taken.
Come up with a unique name. Make sure you have a strong connection to it, because the other players will also be able to see your Code Name. For example, your Code Name or username will be visible inside a ➛Fortress during a battle, and it will help you protect your privacy.
