Summer Update (June 2024) – Free Update
This was the big one! The Summer Update introduced several game-changing features:
Photo Mode – Capture your most spellbinding moments with camera controls, filters, and lighting tweaks.
Talent Point Reset – Regretting your skill choices? Now, you can reallocate points and experiment with new builds.
The Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest (Now on All Platforms!) – Once a PlayStation exclusive, this eerie quest lets you own a shop in Hogsmeade… but you might want to check the basement first.
New Cosmetics & Brooms – Dress to impress with Azkaban-inspired outfits, “The Glasses That Lived,” and the Lavender Borealis Broom.
Pre-Order Exclusives Unlocked – The Onyx Hippogriff and Felix Felicis Potion are now available for everyone—no need for a Time-Turner!
