Portkeys

As mentioned, you need to unlock Portkeys in order to get one of the Foundables. In this case, you need to open 3KM Portmanteaus. That means for the duration of the event, you have to limit yourself to picking this type so that you won’t fill up your spaces with the other Portmanteaus.

You may need to wait until you get to Special Assignments IV in order to be more efficient. One of the tasks require you to unlock four Portmanteaus, though you may need to unlock more in order to collect all fragments of the Foundable.

Wizarding Challenges

You are also going to need to complete Wizarding Challenges in order to get one of the event’s Foundables. However, you need Back to Hogwarts Runestones in order to get the challenge you need. These type of runestones are usually given as rewards when you rank up the Back to Hogwarts Registry.

You may also wait until you get to Special Assignments IV to attempt the Wizarding Challenges. This allows you to hit two birds with one stone, so to speak. You may need to battle more, but by doing them both at the same time you have better spell energy management.

In addition, you are not required to fight at high level so you can focus on finishing the Wizarding Challenges at the lower level.

So what are you waiting for? Go out there and help the Ministry of Magic.
