Event Start

"Thank goodness you're on the scene. The Calamity has manifested a massive cluster of dragons - DRAGONS! - and we need all the help we can get.
This is Charlie Weasley, an expert dragon-handler brought in by the Ministry to oversee things. You'll be getting your assignments from him. Good luck out there!"

— Constance Pickering

"Right, I'm Charlie. Nice to meet you. I've done a fair bit of work in Romania with dragons, but this is something else!
This environment is crawling with frightened dragon Foundables. I'm worried about the effect this will have on the poor beasts long-term. We've got to get them returned to their proper places as quickly as possible."

— Charles Weasley

Part I - START

INTRO

"First things first, we need to clear the site. It will help us manage the dragons later on."

— Charles Weasley

END

"There are an overwhelming number of frightened and extremely dangerous dragons here. I could use your help returning them, but you're going to need to train up a bit first."

— Charles Weasley

Part II - DEMONSTRATE

INTRO

"I've found in my career that a good dragon handler needs courage, cunning, tremendous determination and a fair amount of brains - it's almost like belonging to all the Hogwarts houses at once. With those traits in mind, I've arranged a bit of training for you.
The tasks of the test requires you to demonstrate courage, cunning, determination or cleverness. You'll even get the chance to prove yourself against the relatively-docile Common Welsh Green and Antipodean Opaleye dragons.
Complete these tasks, and I'll know that you can handle the more dangerous dragons here - the Chinese Fireball and Peruvian Vipertooth."

— Charles Weasley

Demonstrate Determination - HUFFLEPUFF

"You've demonstrated the requisite amount of relentless determination to overcome the challenge of working with dragons."

— Charles Weasley

Demonstrate Cleverness - RAVENCLAW

"Working with dragons requires quick wits, and I do believe you've demonstrated that you're very clever."

— Charles Weasley

Demonstrate Courage - GRYFFINDOR

"Dragon handling requires nerves of steel... and you've clearly got them! Well done."

— Charles Weasley

Demonstrate Cunning - SLYTHERIN

"You've shown that you can think tactically enough to take on any dragon."

— Charles Weasley

END

"Well done. I'm confident in your ability to take on any Peruvian Vipertooth or Chinese Fireball."

— Charles Weasley

Part III

INTRO

"What do you say you and I work together to return those dragons and finally clean up this mess?"

— Charles Weasley

END

"Great work out there! I couldn't have done this without your help. Now there's still work to do, but I'm confident that the situation is in hand."

— Charles Weasley

Part IV

INTRO

"Congratulations! Just minutes ago, you were a nobody, but now look at you!
I'll need a photo of you, of course. The readers will want to see you looking suitably heroic.
Now, my readers expect a certain "crelatability". Perhaps we can give the impression that you're likeable somehow?
I know! Mingle with the little people. The common folk... the riff-raff. Audiences lap that up like a Kneazle with a bowl of cream."

— Rita Skeeter

END

"Well, I think I can manage a decent headline. And lucky you, you'll have an article written by award-winning journalist Rita Skeeter to show all your little friends. Ciao!"

Behind the scenes

• In the real world, this Harry Potter: Wizards Unite event was called the "Fan Festival 2019 Indianapolis", which was an exclusive event for which players of the game had to purchase tickets to attend.
• In the game text was found an alternate dialogue for Part IV - INTRO:

"Congratulations! Just minutes ago, you were a nobody, but now look at you!
Interesting, I had no idea that you'd turn out to be important! But look at you, a hero worthy of the Daily Prophet.
But - fortunately for you - there are still plenty of deadly dragons around so we'll have to take what we in the media call "creative license." We'll simply have you return the dragons again but we'll say it was your first time.
Sure, it will be dangerous for you, but that's the price of fame. And, let's be honest, if you were to die? Better story! It's a win-win. Now then, let's get on with it."
