Harry Potter Wizards Unite Day of the Dragon Locations

Day of the Dragons marks the worldwide release of dragons into Harry Potter Wizards Unite.

From the 7th September 2019 onwards you'll be able to find the dragon breed assigned to your region.

These dragon breeds and their assigned regions are:

During the 3-hour event period of the Day of the Dragons, you'll also be able to find a dragon breed from another region. This is an excellent opportunity to easily fill in part of your Registry.

It also means that the event will allow you to find two different Dragon Oddities - the one assigned to your region and the one paying a visit.

Here are the dragon breeds and the regions they're visiting:

  • UK, Europe and Africa - Chinese Fireball
  • Americas and Greenland - Chinese Fireball
  • Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand - Chinese Fireball
  • Asia, Middle East and India - Antipodean Opaleye

Before beginning your wizarding adventure, you’ll want to join a Hogwarts House in Harry Potter Wizards Unite. After that you’ll need to learn how to battle, so you can compete in Wizarding Challenges at Fortresses or how to use Greenhouses, so that you can perform Potion Master Notes. You can also unlock Portkey Portmanteaus and choose a profession from Auror, Magizoologist or Professor. Don’t forget to take part in the monthly Community Day event either!


How to prepare for the Day of the Dragons in Harry Potter Wizards Unite

The first task you'll want to do on the Day of the Dragons is pick up your complimentary gift by visiting Diagon Alley.

You'll receive 10 Scrolls, 5 Spell Books and, most importantly, 25 Spell Energy. This Spell Energy is vital for this event as catching the dragon foundables will involve using a lot of Spell Energy.

It's also worth stocking up on Potions before the Day of the Dragon begins.

The best type of potion to brew are the Exstimulo Potions, because they will improve your spell casts during trace encounters for a number of turns. This will increase your chances of successfully adding a dragon to your Registry.

You can also brew Dawdle Draughts, which will reduce the chance of a dragon fleeing when you confront it. This is an ideal potion for when you find the dragon visiting your region.

Finally, don't forget to collect as much Spell Energy as possible, so you can start finding dragons straight away.
