Wizarding World logo - tablet

Wizarding World's new logo, revealed on 13 March 2018

The new logo was unveiled on 13 March 2018 by Pottermore and would be the official logo for the website and shared universe of every film, appearing alongside the Pottermore logo. It celebrates a new era for the growing shared universe in the hope the brand will uphold the authenticity of information.[3]

The logo was designed to look like an open book, with the wands of nine characters from both Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts placed around the logo. From the left, the wands of Voldemort, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter were placed. In the middle, the Elder Wand belonging to Albus Dumbledore who belongs to both film series, and then Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, Queenie Goldstein and the original wand of Gellert Grindelwald.[3]

Wizarding World to Harry Potter[]

On the 15 October 2024, Wizarding World swiftly and quietly transferred IPs from the Wizarding World to the Harry Potter franchise, including changing WizardingWorld.com to HarryPotter.com, without any given reason.[2] This might have been due to looking onward to the future of the franchise, namely the upcoming TV series.

The team of writers on the website has noticeably changed their name from "The Wizarding World Team" to "The Harry Potter Editorial Team".[4]
