-        <p>There's a new pet breed in town! Between now and October 31st, you can buy  Magic Hatching Potions from <a href='/shops/market'>the Market</a> and use them to hatch any standard pet egg. (Magic Hatching Potions do not work on Quest Pet eggs.) Magic Potion Pets aren't picky, so they'll happily eat any kind of food that you feed them!</p>
-        <p>For this Gala, we've brought back Glow-in-the-Dark Potions and Spooky Potions, and added a brand-new potion: Shadow!</p>
-        <p>After they're gone, it will be at least a year before these Hatching Potions are available again, so be sure to get them now!</p>
