How to Prepare
The Wizarding Weekends are very good for players in general, as long as you put in a little Fortress work beforehand! Hunt down the following Fortress-exclusive Foundables to make your weekend grind even more efficient:
- Hagrid’s Hut on the Hagrid’s Hut Registry page
- Abraxan Winged Horse on the Hagrid’s Hut Registry page
Farming these Foundables will ensure you are able to push your Registry pages to the limit! Thanks to RIC (Repeat Image Collection), players will be able to easily stack repeat Foundables so prestiging pages becomes less complicated.
Make sure to spend time grinding Care of Magical Creatures Foundables this week! Once your Image is ready to place, STOP. Wait until the event begins before you place any Care of Magical Creatures in your Registry. You want to earn the Family XP once Wizarding Weekend begins.
How to Earn Care of Magical Creatures Family XP
Event Trace density has improved for recent events, so earning 1200 Care of Magical Creatures Family XP shouldn’t be too arduous. However, if you’re nervous about the task, editor-in-chief Brita has a whole video on grinding Foundable Family XP.
Wizarding Weekend Store Packs
As always, this event includes both a free store pack for all players, as well as a premium store pack. The details are shown below in the infographic provided by our friend Orange Wizard.
After looking at both bundles and calculating their value, neither of the offers really pique my interest.
The value for both is pretty low for the cost of the items themselves. The reasoning for this comes from Andolov (Gjcerda). You can read his breakdown on Reddit.
I have said it before many times and I will say it again: the Foundables are better than the rewards! If you disagree, sound off in the comments below.

Grawp seems heavily boosted for this event too, for some reason!
Good event. Liked the no pressure. I gained a lot of books and got a few SOS lessons done. I wish the brilliant events had all the tasks as one group to work on at once with the bonus being separate. There is always parts like I’ve already done that.
