Portkeys, Portkey Trunks, Keys and Magical Places

In the Harry Potter universe, the Portkey is a magical object, seemingly innocuous, serving as a means of transport for wizards to move quickly from one place to another, at a specific time. In Wizards Unite, Portkeys allow you, thanks to augmented reality, to rediscover cult places in this magical universe, and above all, to obtain various bonuses. The Portkey Trunks, taking the form of a small chest, can be picked up by wizards while exploring the world around them. Its content, protected and Muggle-proof, can only be revealed after the use of a Golden Key or a Silver Key and after traveling a certain distance. However, your efforts will be rewarded as these Portkey Trunks contain a Portkey that will transport you to magical places, home to many treasures.


To hope to open a Portkey Trunk, it will first be necessary to be in possession of a Silver Key or a Gold Key. Once the Trunk is unlocked, a certain distance, established according to the type of Trunk, will have to be covered in order to access a cult place in the Harry Potter universe.

The keys

Silver Key Silver keys are used to open Portkey Trunks. Usable only once, they can be obtained as rewards for leveling up, by bringing back Foundables or by buying them on Diagon Alley. Golden Key The Golden Key is used to open Portkey Trunks. This unique key, unlike the silver one, is reusable at will.

The Portkey Trunks

A maximum of eight Portkey Trunks can be stored simultaneously, the advantage, unlike Pokémon GO, is that they can be used at any time, as long as the conditions are duly met.

Activating a Keychain

Before we start, make sure you have enough space to move around safely. Before touching the Portkey and being transported, you can see a preview of the space required to explore the magical place, a space of three by three meters is especially recommended.

Once all the necessary checks have been carried out, all you have to do is place your Portkey on the ground, thanks to augmented reality, a portal will open behind which hides one of the mythical places from the universe. of Harry Potter, among which we will find:

• Cabane d'Hagrid,
• Office of Dolores Umbridge,
• Dumbledore's office,
• Snape's Office,
• Barjow and Berk,
• Boutique d'Ollivanders,
• The Hogwarts Express,
• The Forbidden Forest (only for 7 kilometer Portkeys).

Niantic et WB Games have also said that new places would be added little by little.

When you have entered the portal in question, your objective will be to touch ruinspur, a creature from the Lovegood family's imagination that takes the form of a glowing sphere, in order to obtain rewards from the Ministry, such as Sorcerer EXP, Registry Family EXP, or Potion ingredients. You can also recover Fragments of Foundables to complete your Registry. Finding the same Doomstalker multiple times activates a bonus.

As soon as you have found all the Ruins, you will be expelled from the magical place and returned to your original location on the map. However, it is important to specify that you will only be able to access the portal of an activated Portkey once, you will not be able to return there if you are out of it before having found five Ruins.
