How Do I get all of the Potter’s Calamity Registry Items in the Brilliant Gryffindor Dormitory?
Like the Fantastic Flora & Fauna event event held shortly after the game’s global launch, the Brilliant Event: Potter’s Calamity also has 6 items to find or collect to complete the Event Registry. Below is a look at each of those 6 items and where to acquire each.
Brilliant Hedwig – 10 fragments – Brilliant Hedwig is one of two Foundables readily available just from traveling around in the game. Brilliant Hedwig is a Medium threat level Foundable. These can be found in the purple Potter’s Calamity SOS Foundable/Confoundables that spawn across the map.
Brilliant Quidditch Captain Harry – 12 fragments – Brilliant Quidditch Captain Harry is the second of two Foundables readily available just from traveling around in the game. Brilliant Quidditch Captain Harry is a high threat level Foundable. These can be found in the purple Potter’s Calamity SOS Foundable/Confoundables that spawn across the map.
Mismatched Socks – 1 fragment – The Mismatched Socks are rewarded when you complete the 3rd of the 4 pages of special assignments.
Harry’s Weasley Jumper – 3 fragments – Harry’s Weasley Jumper is found as a reward in Fortress Battles (aka Wizarding Challenges) when you use the Potter’s Calamity Runestones.
Harry’s School Trunk – 3 fragments – Fragments of Harry’s School Trunk are found in the 7 km Brilliant Portkeys. These event-specific Portkeys take place in the Forbidden Forest, just like the Fantastic Flora & Fauna event.
Harry’s Triwizard Cup Uniform – 1 fragment – This final item is received when you complete the 4th page of special assignments.

Potter’s Calamity – Part 2
Potter’s Calamity, Part 2 began on July 30th, 2019 and featured a new set of Special Assignments and a new Registry page with Brilliant Harry’s Desk. For a visual look at the event click here for our YouTube video covering Potter’s Calamity – Part 2. Brilliant Harry’s Desk included the following items to find:
Brilliant Golden Snitch – 12 fragments – Brilliant Golden Snitch is the lone Foundables you will need while out and about playing the game. While the Brilliant Hedwig and Brilliant Quidditch Captain Harry will also be foundables you can “catch,” the Brilliant Golden Snitch is a pain in the butt to catch (back-to-back Masterful spells were not enough in one attempt), but is necessary to complete the Registry.
Hogwarts Heroes Daily Prophet – 3 fragments – The Hogwarts Heroes Daily Prophet is found from using the special Potter’s Calamity Runestones in Wizarding Challenges (Fortresses). While you do not get a Hogwarts Heroes Daily Prophet fragment with each Potter’s Calamity Runestone used, the drop rate is very high.
Unknown Foundable – 3 fragments – This Unknown Foundable is likely found using Brilliant Portkeys.
