Community Days in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite are designed to bring players together out in the world to achieve goals and maybe score some extra goodies in the process... at least, they were. With so many people experiencing Shelters in Place, and social distancing being critical, Niantic has transformed the Harry Potter: Wizards Unite experience. Now, Community Day: Stay at Home Edition will provide witches and wizards the opportunity to participate in Community Day from the safety of home!
