Overview
The PotterworldMC Discord server is a place where students and staff can communicate with each other. The Discord is also utilised as a way to send out announcements, class updates, and much more. Players can see the House points being rewarded for their respective houses on the Discord server. Similar to in-game rules, the Discord also has rules for players to follow, which can be viewed here.
Linking
In order for someone to link their Discord account to the PotterworldMC Discord, the player must do /discord in-game. A link will appear in chat for the player to click.
