Wizarding World Digital Launches Hogwarts House Pride

by · March 8, 2023

Are you passionate about your Hogwarts House? Would you put on the Sorting Hat ready to emphatically inform it of where you truly belong? If so, you’re going to be a big fan of the free new interactive celebration being offered courtesy of Wizarding World Digital.

 

 

Inspired by Hogwarts’s annual House Cup, Hogwarts House Pride invites fans to take part in a variety of challenges and activities to earn points for their House. Overall points will be fittingly recorded via the digital hourglass leaderboard on the Wizarding World Digital home page. The House that has accrued the most points by April 4 will take home the coveted prize of the first-ever Digital House Cup.

Already thirsty for victory? The first step is to head over to the Hogwarts House Pride web page to compete in the weekly quiz championship. Each round will consist of ten themed questions with topics that vary in difficulty level ranging from beginner to OWL to NEWT.

 

 

Fans who are social media savvy will also have plenty of opportunities to fill that digital hourglass. Visit @wizardingworld’s Instagram and TikTok pages to access the new Hogwarts House Pride AR filter to give your selfies a hint of House pride. Each share of your AR Hogwarts House Pride photos, screenshots of your favorite Hogwarts Legacy common room moments, and other House-related pictures on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter will contribute to the cause. Be sure to tag @wizardingworld and include your House’s hashtag to ensure your earnings, and check back often on the Wizarding World Digital social media channels for the multiple giveaways that will be happening throughout the month.

In case that’s not enough excitement, Hogwarts House Pride will also give fans new celebratory editorial features. These will dive deep into details about the Hogwarts Houses, including some of the fascinating histories behind the founders. A new interview content series, “Muggle on the Street,” will also be made available on Wizarding World Digital. Viewers can expect both laughter and controversy as a number of special guest hosts discuss all things Harry Potter with the fan community.

Fans can also expect House-themed surprises, information on House Pride Nights at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and exclusive Harry Potter Fan Club offers in the Harry Potter Shop. So whether you dream in green, red, yellow, or blue, our question is the same: What are you still doing here? The competition has already begun.
