Your Universal Orlando app profile picture can now be a Niffler.

The Universal Orlando Resort app has added character profile pictures, WDW News Today reported on October 12. There are 28 to pick from, covering Super Nintendo World, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Isle of Berk, Dark Universe, DreamWorks Land and more.

A Universal Orlando Resort app screen titled Customize Profile and Select a Character, showing round icons for the Universal Orlando Resort logo (checked), Super Mushroom, 1-UP Mushroom, Fire Flower, Super Star, Niffler, Hippogriff, Zouwu, Owl, Irish Phoenix, Toothless and Hiccup, with a blue Save button

How to change it

Go to your account in the app. Your picture starts as a Universal logo. Tap the pencil icon, pick a character, then hit save.

The character then shows on your account page over a colored background that matches it. WDW News Today's examples: purple for Frankenstein, red for a Super Mushroom.

Who didn't make the list

Read the list closely and a few things stand out. Super Nintendo World is represented by power-ups only, so you can be a Fire Flower but not Mario or Luigi. The Wizarding World picks are all creatures, so there is a Hippogriff but no Harry, Hermione or Ron. And there are no Minions at all.

So who are you picking, and which missing character should Universal add next?
