Magic Caster Wand duelling

If you have a friend with the Harry Potter: Magic Caster Wand and mobile app, you can host or join a duel. You'll both need to be in the same location and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Note Duelling isn't available with child accounts.

Gameplay

Players: 2
How it works: A player hosts a duel and another player joins. Both players are prompted to cast a duelling spell at the same time (the spell comes from the host player's Spellbook). The first player to successfully cast the spell wins the round.
Goal: Each duel has 5 rounds. The first person to win 3 rounds wins the duel.
Points: During a duel, you may earn some points for spells you haven't mastered. To learn more about mastery points, go to Earn points and level up.
