Below is a full breakdown of everything revealed so far, from Winterfest timing to the new broom mythic expected to hit the Battle Royale.
Harry Potter Enters Fortnite This Winterfest
Fortnite has a long history of delivering huge seasonal collaborations during Winterfest, usually running from late November to early December. In previous years, players have unwrapped free Star Wars cosmetics and other themed gifts. This time, Winterfest is bringing the wizarding world itself into Fortnite.
The Harry Potter x Fortnite collab has been leaked by HYPEX, confirming that the franchise will make its debut during this year’s event. While Epic Games has not announced an exact launch date, the timing lines up perfectly with Winterfest’s start window, so players can expect content to roll out soon.
Because the collab falls under Winterfest, fans may also receive free Harry Potter themed cosmetics through the traditional in-game presents under the Christmas tree. Additional skins and items will likely appear in the Item Shop or be unlocked through quests.
What Skins and Cosmetics Might Appear
Epic has not revealed the full cosmetic lineup yet, but players are hoping for the obvious. A proper Harry Potter skin seems almost guaranteed, given Fortnite’s track record of securing major character licences for big collaborations.
Other possibilities include themed back blings, emotes, and a wand pickaxe. While leaks have not confirmed individual items, early speculation suggests the collab will focus on iconic wizarding world elements fans instantly recognise.
A New Broom Mythic Is Coming
One detail has been confirmed through leaks. A brand new broom mythic will be added to Fortnite as part of the crossover.
A magical broom is practically essential for a Harry Potter event, and this mythic will reportedly function similarly to the Witch’s Broom from Chapter 2. Players can expect a fast airborne boost that helps with quick rotations, escaping the storm, or simply zooming across the map with a bit of wizard flair.

Epic may even introduce multiple broom variations or related items such as a Golden Snitch, although nothing beyond the mythic has been verified yet.
Fans Are Hyped for a Magical Holiday Season
The Harry Potter x Fortnite collaboration has been one of the most requested crossovers for years, and Winterfest is shaping up to be the perfect moment for it. With free gifts, themed cosmetics, and a brand new travel mythic, this could be one of Fortnite’s biggest crossovers of 2025.
What would you like to see in the event, from skins to spells to emotes? Winterfest is just around the corner, so more details should surface soon.
