Original story

Harry Potter Wizards Unite is a newly released game from the house of Niantic. The game
looks promising so far, and the community has also appreciated it. The game beta was initially released in Australia and New Zealand, but last Friday the game was released worldwide in staged, global rollouts.

Harry Potter Wizards Unite is somewhat similar to Pokemon Go, as both these games have been developed under the banner of the same company, Niantic. However, the game may look similar to Pokemon Go in many aspects, but it is completely different altogether. It is intriguing and interesting.

Niantic released version 2.0.1 of the game on June 16th, 2019 which brought a lot of bug fixes. But the game is still new, and there are a lot of bugs and issues that are remaining to get fixed or have an alternate workable solution.

The Harry Potter Wizards Unite developers are taking issues upfront and trying their best to hear out the issues or bugs faced by the community. On the official Reddit account of Harry Potter Wizards Unite, developers and community mods have prepared a wiki page where all the bugs can be quickly reported by submitting a form.

The official member of the Harry Potter Wizards Unite Team, u/hpwu_fazes, has shared the list of all the known bugs and issues till date.
