Fair play on pottermore.com

Duelling Club has seen hundreds of thousands of spells cast since the seventh Pottermore House Cup Championship began. As the next Championship gains momentum, we wanted to let you know of some recent changes to Duelling Club that, as well as providing a more fun and rewarding gaming experience, will help ensure members of all houses enjoy a friendly and fair competition.

Variations to Duelling Club

You may have noticed that we have made some alterations to Duelling Club to make duelling more enjoyable, whilst also making it more difficult for unfair game play to take place:

The first variation we have made to the spells in Duelling Club is to randomize the letters used to cast each spell.


As seasoned duellers will be well aware, certain letters of the incantations are used to cast spells in Duelling Club. Previously, these letters have remained the same each time – now, the letters used will change each time a spell is cast, so you’ll need stay alert.

The second alteration is to vary the speed at which the power of the spell, shown by the pulsing circle around each letter, grows - so now the speed of your reactions matters more than ever!

We will continue to work on keeping the House Cup and all activity on pottermore.com fair for you to enjoy. If you do encounter any suspicious behaviour, please do not hesitate to contact us here.
