Niantic has announced the details of the upcoming Harry Potter Wizards Unite Fan Festival, which will be taking place in Indianapolis. The event is bringing dragons to the game for the first time.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Fan Festival will take place at White River State Park in Indianapolis on August 31 and September 01. The event will feature unique Special Assignments, which will unlock Dragon encounters for attendees.

Wizards Unite players who will be attending the event will also be able to experience magical artefacts and creatures. There will also be Wizards Unite themed lounge area for relaxing purposes.

Players will have to purchase tickets in order to attend the event. Tickets for the event can be purchased from an in-app link. Players who will attend the event will encounter a number of real-world landmarks and locations that are tied directly into the gameplay experience.

Dragons Arriving in Wizards Unite

It was during the San Diego Comic-Con that news of dragons arrival was confirmed by Wizards Unite panel. The Adventure Sync feature was also announced during the event, which is yet to be included in the game.

Dragons have been an intensive part of the Harry Potter franchise. We first saw the Dragon in the movie Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where we saw Harry battling with a Horntail dragon as the first challenge of the competition.

Well, now dragons are coming to Wizards Unite game. As per the officially revealed information, four dragons will make their entry into the game on August 31 and September 1. The list of dragons which will be included in the game is mentioned below. Also, players will encounter these dragons as oddities.

1) Common Welsh Green – Common Welsh Green has a greeny appearance, and has a musical roar. The Dragon is expected to spawn in regions including the Middle East, Africa, and India.

2) Antipodean Opaleye – Antipodean has a multicoloured eye which looks really amazing, and it has a pearl-coloured body texture. They are one of the most beautiful dragons in the Harry Potter franchise. Antipodean is expected to spawn in New Zealand & Australia.

3) Chinese Fireball – Chinese Fireball dragon is from mainland China and features a beautiful red and golden skin. The Dragon can shoot fireballs from its nostrils. The Dragon is expected to spawn in the Asian- Pacific region.

4) Peruvian Vipertooth – It is a copper-skinned dragon & reigns from Peru. Vipertooth usually grows up to 15ft. This Dragon is expected to spawn in the American region.

During the event, attendees will have the chance to encounter all of them, but after the event, these Dragons will fly off to their respective regions around the world.

The Threat Clock and Fan Festival Special Assignments

A series of Special Assignments will be available at the Fan Festival. Attendees will need to keep an eye on the Threat Clock throughout the day and be prepared to jump into action should the hands reach a state of emergency.

A Fully Interactive Experience
