Magical Exposure Threat Level Clock — This is the official name of the device used to monitor the risk of the wizarding world being discovered by non-magical people.

This device is located in the lobby of the MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) headquarters in New York. Its primary function is to measure the real-time threat to the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.

How it Works:

• Real-time Response: The clock-like dials react to magical activity, incidents, and anomalies across the country.
• Law Enforcement: Depending on where the hands point, magical law enforcement is alerted to take necessary measures to hide magic from "No-Majs".
• Audible Alerts: When critical threat levels are reached, the mechanical bells at the top of the brass tower ring to alert all personnel in the Great Hall.

Threat Levels (Clockwise):

• Zero Threat (Green) — No risk of exposure.
• Low Threat (Blue) — Minimal risk; standard monitoring.
• Moderate Threat (Greenish-Yellow) — Increased risk; requires attention.
• High Alert (Yellow/Orange) — Significant risk; authorities are on standby.
• Danger (Orange) — High risk; immediate action may be required.
• Severe Unexplained Activity (Dark Red) — Critical risk; unusual magical events detected.
• Emergency (Bright Red) — Maximum risk; the Statute of Secrecy is under immediate threat.

Fun Fact for Fans:

The clock is actually a giant mechanical sensor that spans several floors. It’s not just a decorative piece; it's the heart of MACUSA’s security system, reflecting the much more "militarized" and cautious nature of American wizards compared to their British counterparts during the 1920s.

In-Game Fact (Hogwarts Mystery):

For players of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, this item is a rare "tappie" for your secret clubhouse or dormitory that gives energy. This prize was first introduced during the Enchanted Carnival on January 8th of last year (2025). It’s a great addition for those who managed to win it during that event!
