There have been several new updates to the game announced today, primarily relating to upcoming events, so let’s take a look at what’s new.

Today’s news brings two new Brilliant Events on the horizon: Potter’s Calamity. Well, more like one event happening in two parts, but that’s still two new chances to earn Restricted Section books! Here are the dates and times for the event:

Week One: Tues, July 16 at 11:00 PDT / 18:00 GMT - Tues, 23 July at 11:00 PT / 18:00 GMT
