Locations in HogwartsLive

Ollivander - Wand Maker

"Ollivander stands behind a counter and appears to pay little attention to you as you enter, but you know from experience that he has his eye on every move you make.

Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn.

A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.

To level up in HogwartsLive, you must challenge professors in Classes and Training. Each level has a specific professor you must defeat in magical combat.

How it works:

• Gain Experience: Hunt creatures in the Forbidden Forest to gain experience
• Question Professor: Ask your professor how much more experience you need
• Challenge Professor: When you have enough experience, challenge them to a duel
• Level Up: Defeating the professor increases your level and stats
• Repeat: Each level has a new, more powerful professor to challenge

Rewards per level: +10 max HP, +5 soul points, +1 attack, +1 defense

Note: You can challenge multiple professors per day (multimaster is enabled), so you can level up as fast as you can gain experience!

The Forbidden Forest is where you hunt magical creatures to gain experience, gold, and gems. You have a limited number of "forest fights" (also called "turns" or "spirits") per day.

Creatures you might encounter:

• Acromantulas (giant spiders)
• Centaurs
• Dementors
• Hippogriffs
• Thestrals
• Werewolves
• And many more magical beasts!

Each creature has different stats based on its level. Defeating creatures earns you experience points and gold, which you need to level up and buy better equipment.

When you're injured from battles, visit Hagrid's Hut to get healed. Hagrid will restore your hit points for a fee.

Healing Cost: log(level) × (missing HP + 10) gold

Note: Healing is NOT free at level 1! This is a common misconception. The formula applies at all levels.
