Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery for Positive User Reviews

I love this but there are a few problems...This game is really good and I love it... but the are two problems I would like to mention. The first problem I have is the energy. I know there are plenty of reviews out there already mentioning the energy as a problem, but I want to mention it too. Four minutes is quite a long time to wait for just one energy... I think maybe one or two minutes would be better, or maybe one minute and thirty seconds. I am actually writing this review right now while I’m waiting for my energy to fill because I’m in the middle of learning a spell and I ran out of energy way to quickly and it takes too long to fill up again. You could also include maybe mini games that could earn you things like energy and coins or xp. The second problem I would like to mention is the spelling mistakes. Yes, I understand everybody spells things wrong every once in a while, I probably have some mistakes in this review, but the words that are spelled wrong are pretty much spelled wrong throughout the entire game. Some examples of the misspelled words are practice(in the game it is spelled as practise) and artifact(it is spelled as artefact in the game). I’m not a game maker or anything and I don’t know how hard it would be to go back and change the spelling, so I’m not going to ask for the spelling to be fixed unless it is too hard of a thing to fix. I really hope the energy gets changed though..Version: 1.7.4

Amazing Game!This game is really cool. Ever since Pottermore became more of a news website I’ve been waiting for something else to come out like this. Now, there’s an even better interactive Harry Potter game AND it’s on your phone so you can play it anywhere. The graphics are great, it runs smoothly and has quick downloads even on my IPhone 6. Overall an awesome game. My only problem would be the Energy count. In the game, you use energy to complete tasks, and you can only have so much at once (24). Once you’ve used all of your energy, you have to wait four minutes for another point and a full 96 mins (1hr and 36 mins) for 24 energy points! You can purchase energy with diamonds, but it’s expensive and diamonds are also hard to get. You can also buy diamonds but you need to pay real money for diamonds in the store. I get this is how the game makes money and also I get the time thing is meant to make you spread out the time in which you play but sometimes it’s super frustrating when you just want to get something done but you have no energy. Besides this, a great game that I really enjoy playing so I’m giving it 4 stars. - Thomas.Version: 1.5.4

Do not take away friendship quiz pointsI wish you wouldn't take away points for friendship quizzes even if I don't have enough courage or knowledge or empathy or stuff like that and GIVE more points for it I was about to get the final friendship diamond and I wasn't able to. This is such a waste of my coins and I've got about uh... I've so not got any I forgot how many I have. By the way I really like quidditch matches and I've completed the second house match of season three and it won't show any more quidditch quests. It says to complete more optional quidditch friendlies but even that doesn't do anything. I'm heading towards a very very exciting part of the actual story. The main bit I decided to write this review was don't take away friendship points and pretty please give like 5 points instead of only 2 points. I'm like super fed up with that. I'm using my mum's iPad. I downloaded this game when I was 6 years old because I love reading Harry Potter and I couldn't wait until I was 12 years old. DO NOT take away ANY friendship points. I will maybe never get to do progress anymore..Version: 3.9.0

Money GrabYou loose energy too quickly to accomplish anything. The graphics and music are great, but the game play stinks. A lot of unnecessary ‘energy’ is lost clicking random things. The cost to refill gems and energy is too high and there aren’t enough built in bonuses to make for good game play. The lessons are deeply repetitive and I know this is designed for kids but there are a ton of adults who would happily play a Harry Potter game that moved a little quicker. Disappointing. Come on Port Key Games!.Version: 1.1.5

I LOVE this game but…I’m obsessed with he Harry Potter movies and this is just the perfect game for me the story line is amazing and the graphics are super cool and I love that you can accessories your character and play gobstones and meal with a friend and duel and stuff but there is just one problem that annoys me so so much the orb thingys (like the blue stuff you use) yeah that why WHY does it take SOOOO long to get it to fill up back to 28 like WHY I was in a study session in flying class and I ran out of orbs so you know I didn’t want to see ads so I just waited and it took like 1 WHOLE HOUR TO GET THE DANG ORBS TO FILL UP LIKE WHYYY. You got it that I love this game but I kinda just don’t want it to take like an hour to fill up, also another thing is the time thing (I think that was a new update btw) like so I’m in a SUPER SUSPENSEFUL part of the story and then when I need to do the next part there’s that time thing and it’s like 2 FRICKIN HOURSS TO DO THE QUEST and im like hmm maybe I can just skip but NO I can’t skip it becuase I don’t have enough gems cause it’s like 90 gems to skip for me everytime and like why at a super suspenseful part of the story I’d be fine for like another time. But either than that the game is really cool and I hope more people can play the game..Version: 3.6.1

Amazing but....I am in love with this game and there’s only 3 things I don’t like about it . So one of them is more options like in the first year and u and that’s girl ( I forget how to spell her name ) get in to like a rivalry I Leon’s would want to fight her and stuff like that’s so I would love is there was more options . The second thing is that’s you have to wait between each lesson like I get that it earns money and stuff but could you please change that’s you don’t hav eco wait and make another way to earn money but putting poster around the school saying buy this or something like that because it l really annoys me how you have to wait. The 3rd thing is pets ...like I live how you get pets and I live animals the only thing is that’s the one that you can get for gems cost way to much maybe bring them down a bit (not heaps just a bit because I get it people will have to buy gem and that’s how u earn the money but yeah Maybe just put them on sale every once in a while like 30% off for 3 days or just bring them down a bit in general. Besides that I love this game and it one of my favourites by far . If you do read this ( whom ever made this game ) I love it please keep making games ( if possible) like this one.Version: 1.15.1

So fun! But... UPDATEI love Harry Potter and was excited to play Hogwarts Mystery. It’s a fun game, but the excessive amount of micro transactions make it annoying. I don’t that menial tasks have 3h limits to complete. I prefer 1h, as I can complete a star or two and then wait out the time. I like that we now get to do other things like play gobstones but they take several hours to reload. I dislike that one task takes up an insane amount of energy. If I sit down during my busy day to play, I don’t want to constantly wait for my energy to reload in order to get one task or class done. That being said, if developers lessened the amount of energy that goes into one task and decreased the time limit for side quests to one hour again, it would be more enjoyable to play. Update: Okay developers I see these updates, I see y’all doing your thing and I appreciate it. You can now watch ad videos for 3 energy points and for gems, classes and tasks are a bit easier to get through, the dormitory, the attribute points with purchases and pets!! I like that you can interact with friends to earn gems and energy points. I don’t LOVE that they’re capped at level 10 and after awhile all you earn is a clothing item so I hope to see more friend options! Even some older book characters come up? I’m sure the game will get better with time and I’m looking forward to all the great updates!.Version: 1.7.0

I’m absolutely obsessed!!!🌺This is an AMAZING game!!! I love it so much and literally play it everyday. Although it is very interactive and fun and makes you feel like your an actual student at Hogwarts, there are some things I wish you could do. First off it is a bit frustrating that for some story parts of the game you have to wait about 8 hours to do. Second is that it would be nice if you could pick when you get to do the special events, like host the student from Beauxons, or befriend a werewolf. I am almost done with my second year and realized that I might not get to do “ Christmas With The Weaslys “ The last thing is that I am very confused about when you get to learn lessons that aren’t required to move on with the story. I was thinking the other day maybe that’s what you learn in your 7th year. Because in the little book icon were you see the lessons you’ve learned, there is nothing for year 7. This just some feedback that I hope will make the game even more fun than it already is. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope this helps. I’d also like to add that I Love that you added the quittich option... I’m sorry if I spelled that wrong. I saw that there something new coming and I cannot wait to see what it is!!! I recommend this game to everyone, even if you are not a Harry Potter fan, and I think this game will make you one! 🤗.Version: 2.6.2

PLEASE READ: Love this game but needs to change....Okay so right now I’m a first year and everything is so amazing!!! I love everything about this game! The graphics are awesome! But.... this game needs some changes.... First the energy NEEDS to CHANGE ASAP! It’s horrible.... ONE ENERGY takes FOUR minutes REPLENISH?!?? Are you serious??? The full meter is 25 and in order to wait for 25 of the energies to replenish and that would be about 100 minutes of waiting which is hmm... about OVER an hour???!? That’s RIDICULOUS! Please get rid of the whole energy thing or at least reduce the time to wait for them to replenish! Besides the lessons or things to do uses energy only talking to people on there doesn’t. You should have something fun on the app to pass time or something that’ll give you energy. And if you have to “unlock” it in further years or chapters then that’s incredibly stupid. I think first years when you immediately first start out should be able to do quick mini games or activities or something to get energy. I understand that the pets can give you energy and I’m trying to save up but this is still ridiculous. Also I don’t know a lot about this app but if there’s only a few lessons and stuff for charms and potions then that’s very sad unless there’s more in year 2, year 3, etc. but if not plz add some more.... otherwise it doesn’t feel much like Hogwarts to me..Version: 1.7.3

Good but frustratingI love the game. It’s fun and I love how you get to experience Hogwarts without the hole Harry Potter drama. Not that I don’t like it I’m probably the biggest hp fan there is out there. But here’s the serious talk. ENERGY!!!!!! I know it’s good but like it’s just impossible for me to play if I’m just gunna have to keep spending money. The length of four minutes is ridiculous I would be ok with two but FOUR I would definitely be ok with more happy hours. I’m doing the prefect event and I’m literally going to kill myself because like I know well you know it’s hard because I’ve I’ve only got 19 hours left and I’ve still got like three hours worth of doing time on it and where I am at 9 o’clock so that would only bring me to 10 hours and then I’ve still got like eight hours to sleep so that means I would only have two hours to do it which is if I’m talking about it that’s not gonna be good so so what I want is I want to change that it cost money to get gems but it costs coin coins and that we can we can have because like if you tap on it can I get a get 3 to watch a video so I change the three gems to 5 thank you for listening to me I hope I get some feedback soon😎😎😎.Version: 2.8.0

Love this but...I have had this for a day and honestly I love it! But I have a few tiny issues. The energy system is great but it takes too long to renew, maybe shorten the waiting time to 2 minutes instead of four? Also, I love the idea of being able to explore the castle, but it would be nice if we were able to move our characters instead of having them stand in the doorway and letting us scroll across to see the rest of the room. The last thing is the interaction with the castle and other players, it would be nice if say, we could see the bedrooms or quidditch pitch. It would also be nice if we could interact with other players, as in if we walked around the school and would see the other players characters and be able to talk to them or make friends with real people instead of NPCs, but maybe this will change when the game is out of Beta. Really the only issue was with the energy system, and I truly love this game. So keep up the good work! Edit: this would be so much better if it was first person and you could move around by yourself. Nobody likes a point and click with energy bars....Version: 1.5.3

Great game! 💯 would recommend.This game is super fun, the graphics are great, and the story is engaging. I love the characters and all the little details. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you will love this!! It’s perfect and is a truly magical game. (The rest of this review is a few suggestions for the creators of the game and contains a spoiler for year two of the game.) A few thing that you (as in the creators of the game) may want to consider is making people’s whereabouts match with the storyline. For example, when Ben is missing for a awhile he still appeared in the common room before I found him. Also, when Rowan got injured and was in the hospital wing she still appeared in potions class with me. Also, having more to interact with would be super fun! Like how certain objects can give you extra energy when you tap on them. I’m not asking for more object to give energy, but making all the paintings move or do something when you touch them and having the people around have short lines that they say when you touch them would add even more magic to the game. These aren’t problems, but adding those little things will really increase the experience. Also, I think you should think of more stories we can play though so that we can play this game again and again with different stories. Just a suggestion! Overall, well done! I love this game!! You guys did a great job!!.Version: 1.5.4

Awesome Game, But I Have Something You Can ImproveThis game is perfect! I am addicted to the story because each chapter is a new adventure! Don’t get me wrong, but the timed events that you must finish have awesome stuff in them, especially when you get the prize at the end. But, the only thing is, the timed events NEVER even GIVE you enough time to finish them, and you guys are the one who makes the energy the biggest problem, no offense. Either you guys fix the energy problem, or do not make the timed events timed, otherwise I would have second thoughts on a five-star review. Maybe you can make 1 energy every 1 second! Hahaha jk. But please fix this, this is a wonderful, addictive game and it would make it even better if we have enough time to finish all the wonderful tasks and adventures that you have for us! For a better experience for the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery players, such as myself, please put my statements into thought. I know how hard it is to fix glitches every day, and to work with picky people. Please do not put me in that category, because I just want the game to be better so you guys would be successful! Thank you for your time and patients. It makes me really happy to know that you have read my improvement statements. Thank You for This Wonderful Game And Adventurous Journey That You Made for Me And All The Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Players! I’m Sure That We All LOVE This Game! Once Again, Thank You!.Version: 3.8.1

Amazing game!!This game is SO AWESOME. probably the best of all the Harry Potter games because it has a proper storyline and it’s set BEFORE the books/movies so u can meet and be friends with tonks and bill and Charlie and Draco malfoy even makes a cameo in one of the special adventures (can’t remember which one but I didn’t finish it lol) speaking of special adventures - I wish they lasted longer!! Like during school holidays it’s fine to have them short and snappy, bcs we have time to spend the whole day playing, but during term time it’s nigh impossible to finish a special adventure. But hey - I’m not complaining - I finished the animagus quest and u can become SUCH A CUTE ANIMAL! just one other thing - doesn’t it make more sense to have one energy point per two minutes? instead of four minutes? because it ends up taking 120 minutes - two hours - for ur energy to refill, and there aren’t enough mini games to keep us hooked into the game without paying for energy. Then with two minutes for one point of energy instead of four, it only takes 60 minutes - one hour; half the time. In love with the game tho, it’s absolutely awesome! Respect to the animators too bcs there’s so much complex animated movement and as an artist I rlly appreciate it! <3.Version: 3.4.1

Harry Potter:Hogwarts mysteryI enjoy playing this game a lot, I love the creatures in it, the duelling club, the meal with friend, the gobstones, the cursed vaults mystery, the classes and what you learn and the tasks you have to you magic in. However the only thing that is time consuming is waiting four minutes for your energy to gain one. I feel that the time should go down by 3 minutes or more to have a better game play. I do know that in your second year, if you run out of energy you can watch a advertisement to collect 3 energy. However what happened when you run out of those to. The highest class energy is 5 there for the advertisement deal would be for 5 instead of 3 to get the players past that point. I hope you will take what I have said and update the game as soon as possible. Also having to wait again. I’m sure nearly everyone reading this comment that has this game is annoyed why they can’t have some classes until year 6. Eg: DADA lessons start in I think it is year 5!! And having to wait until the time is up to do some of our tasks. I have had this game for over a month now and I am comfortable saying that is is a 5 out of 5 star game when it is updated to this vision. Thank you for reading this and pls download this app if you haven’t🙏👍😊🙃.Version: 2.4.1

This is my favourite gameI love the HP Universe, so the fact that a game exists that allows me to experience Hogwarts first-hand is what makes it one of the best games out there for Potterheads. The quizzes and character interactions are very interesting (though maybe a bit repetitive once you play regularly) and the look and layout of the castle sticks very close to how it's portrayed in the films. My main issue is that the Special Adventures (tasks that advance relationships and the plot, overall rounding out your experience) and events are time limited, and sometimes don't even appear. I've missed a lot of special adventures in past years because they didn't appear in the correct chapter, or due to it not being the correct month in real time: Christmas at Hogwarts/The Burrow, A Gift of Gratitude, etc. There are also spells you can use in duelling that you can't earn throughout the school year, so it's very easy to miss those too. I'd really like the option to retry the events, like you can right now with special adventures, so I can unlock everything I possibly can such as the spells, clothes and dormitory furniture..Version: 3.6.1

On the fenceBeing a huge HP fan i enjoy it a lot but Im a little disappointed with the fact you need energy to do things because of the fact it goes so quickly. Fans want to play because of the mystery story and racking up knowledge of making potions and casting spells to become better and it’s impossible to do so when you can’t do much in so little time which then leads to a lot of fans not sticking around to play, it’s a bit of a drag when i have to sit and wait for my energy to go up just to continue my game. I get you guys need or would like to make some money off the game but isnt there another way?.Version: 1.1.5

The Limited Time On Those “Quests”: Mainly AnimagusSo I have loved the game for a very long time now, playing it and of course having fun. Sometimes those “quest” things pop up (Limited things like animagus) and I do some of it and then it runs out of time which means I have just wasted a few things on it which is not really that fair so I just brush it off. Now ever since I first saw that Become An Animagus thing I have always wanted to do it and I vowed to myself that I won’t just do a few things on it, I would try to do everything. So I did, I did try everything, but I ended up wasting ALL GEMS AND ALL COINS, for nothing. And as of now I have only a few minutes left of it and I am not even able to do the step I’m already on BECAUSE OF ENERGY. So I am now crying because of this, because I have wanted to become an Animagus in this game for such a lot time and now it’s all for nothing. My point in this review is you need to make these “quests” longer either that or make it in game time, for example: You open the game and your in the middle of one of those quests and the time limit on the quest is the same but right where you last played the game, so what I’m saying here is that they should be like when you play it the time goes down, but when you don’t play it, the time stays the same. I hope this review changes anything because this is most likely happening to others..Version: 3.3.1

Great but there are some improvements needed...So I’ve been playing this game and love it but I’ve run into some issues. Firstly I believe the male and female characters should have the opportunity to get each others hairs e.g. long for male. Secondly last Christmas I had an issue with the Christmas side quest in the form of not getting it at all, i only got a final answer months from then and 3 help chats away. Another slight issue is that hats and hair come together and there is not way to pick what hair you have with your hat rendering hats practically useless. Finally this ones not that important but I feel that in event side quests if you complete it there should be some sort of way to get the other outfit even if it’s just playing again for fun as not completing it Anyway the game is good there are just a few issues and also the help feature isn’t always as bad as I’d experience as it was around Christmas meaning staff shortage would have been w problem probably and they may have been very busy with requests. These issues have only taken down a single star so it’s safe to say the game is amazing and not as bad as the issues I’ve presented all of the time. E.g. lots of content..Version: 2.6.1

Not worth itThis is an adequate free game, however I would have rather paid for a proper Harry Potter game that wasn’t an app with better graphics, storyline, gameplay, and consequence-based/‘choose your own adventure’ model that they aimed for and failed to achieve. The choices aren’t choices, and therefore makes that element of the game irrelevant. The challenges and questions aren’t difficult or engaging enough to pull focus. However the WORST part of the game is the energy. The game would be so much more successful without using energy. You can use all your energy in less than two minutes and then need to wait another three hours to get it all back. It’s not worth it. I would have rather harder challenges and tasks that take time and skill instead of energy. The app would have functioned so much better with that. Also, there’s a need to get rid of the “choices” which is just an illusion since the storyline is 2-dimensional and already determined, and the storyline feels like a tweenagers fan fiction/some five minute discussion no one cared about. Your time is much better spent on other endeavours. Buy a different game..Version: 1.7.4

Great game, but a few tweaks neededI have been playing this game for close to 6 months now, and am thoroughly enjoying it. However, I find a few things tedious and annoying. First of all, I love the aspect of magical beasts and that you can have creatures in the game and feed and such, but he notebooks are what ruins it. It takes an unbelievable amount of time to gather notebooks for creatures, I’ve been going 3 months straight to get 90 red notebooks for the Abraxen, and am on around 67 at the moment. There needs to be some other way to get notebooks rather than events and lucky rewards. Like, the events require you to be in the top 3 for some golden notebooks, but that’s unrealistic for casual players or even some of us more dedicated players. My second and more annoying point is duelling. I HATE duelling because it is entirely luck based and requires no skill on either side. It tells me to improve my chances by getting higher stats, yet all that does is increase the potential damage to the enemy. I feel it should assist with bringing it to more skill based matches rather than luck of the draw rock, paper, scissors. My final point is that the pets, although an amazing feature, also take too long to grind for. I have been going for the Owl pet (320 gems) for about the same time as my Abraxen, and I only have 174 gems. I don’t want to spend money to buy in game currency and want to do it legitimately, but the price is still too high for these pets. Thanks.Version: 2.2.4

Like it but could be a lot betterI adore the concept of this game, Hogwarts in an app is genius and it has so much potential! However, I am finding levelling up in this game tedious, as energy depletes very fast and you have to physically wait for it to refill, even if I’m in the middle of a task. If I exit the app at all during this time it reloads to the beginning of the task I started, meaning I have to listen to the dialogue, re-do the steps I’d just taken. The only way to complete a task so far is to wait in-game watching the timer refill one point of energy every 4 minutes (it takes more than 25 points to complete a task)! I love the fact you can design your character and choose a name and your house, and find it exciting to be able to unlock more customisation throughout gameplay, but I’d prefer not to have to save up coins to purchase these, as I’m already trying to save to build up my skill level and energy, and it seems you unlock things which cost more than you can achieve on each level. Overall enjoying the game and looking forward to meeting more characters, but a few tweaks here and there definitely needed..Version: 1.5.4

Looks fantasticThis game looks absolutely fantastic, wonderful creatures, the animations look smooth and it doesn’t take much time to download-5 minutes at the max. I would definitely recommend this game to a Harry Potter fan, it’s probably the no.1 game for potterheads. True, it takes a few minutes to earn energy, but that doesn’t mean the game itself isn’t worth it. The game is super cool, the dueling and classes are epic! This is a number 1 go-to game for all those potterheads out there, it would be such a shame if you missed out of in. Just one thing though, maybe change the game so we have to wait eg. 1-2 mins for one energy, or play a game (candy crush or dueling) to get a (or more) energy, because it does take quite a long time to wait—And trust me, spending 30 minutes waiting for the energy bar to refill is BORING. Great game, tweak a few things and it’ll be even better. Overall, this game is very fun and addictive and includes challenges and is just epic. I would definitely recommend. Best Harry Potter game I’ve ever played. I recommend playing for 10-30mins daily, because it just gets too boring to wait for the energy bar to refill. Great game. Luv it..Version: 4.7.4

No way to go but up.This game honestly has a strong base to build on, it has interesting side quests right along with the main quest. I like the inter house friendships. It’s pretty clear choice does matter in the game if only a little. It would be nice to see a bit of variation in every players story. It doesn’t make sense that Snape would hate on a slytherin or McGonagall would favor one for extra lessons. Both were pretty known for their own house favoritism, but I digress. The game itself is fun for the short while we get to play it at a time. I think before a new game decides to start panhandling so aggressively for money it should build its player loyalty first. First it would be cool to maybe do some extra activity to earn back some energy, the hidden energy tokens only go so far, maybe scrub some cauldrons for Snape to earn back 5 energy. Polish broomsticks for madam hooch, obviously you can’t do these tasks all day every day to earn free energy we all would have graduated long before now, maybe pay 200 gold for each task you can do something for each teacher related to their area of study. It would keep wait times down and players happy, and once the players run out of gold and energy then advertise a gem pack to them for a slightly decreased price. I’ve got several other ideas that would benefit both player and Jam City, but there isn’t enough space here for all that..Version: 1.5.5

Best game ever!I absolutely love the game. As soon as I saw it I was like, ‘Mom, can I get this game?’ I love it how you can adopt pets, duel with people, change your avatar into cool clothes, attend to different classes and much more! There are a few things that bother me though. Firstly, you have to pay so many diamonds just to get an owl or a cat. Also, when I started Year 2, at the welcoming feast, when Dumbledore finished his speech (“Anyway, enough with my blabbering, tuck in!”), it would freeze and then just send me back to the home screen on my iPad. I didn’t know what was happening, and I tried to fix it but it didn’t change a thing. After about a week, out of the blue, it started working again. Then, three days later it steed working. It went on and off for a whole month! At the end, I had to delete it. Then I re-installed it and to my relief I didn’t have to start over again. I don’t know if this is happened to anyone else but if yes then please try and fix it. Last but not least, it takes ages (four whole minutes!) to get just one energy thing. Please could you change the time to one min thirty seconds or something like that in your next update? On the other hand, it’s an amazing game, you should totally get it!.Version: 1.19.0

Uhhh... What?This game is good. But it is a cashgrab and a tap and wait for hours on end. Yeah the personalities of the teachers are accurate, and the graphics are great. But this game needs to chill on the money and the 200 gems FOR A HOUSE COLORED SCARF is INSANE. And 6000 coins for weirdo glasses, normal glasses 200 GEMS TOO. Some of us want our character to be like us! Like the customizable American girl doll thing. I myself want my character to be with glasses and not have to wait until I’m like on the sixth year. The game is great and all but behind the mystical greatness, the prices on things are too much to handle! Please put the prices on stuff down! I am begging you! The energy is crazy too, four minutes for a single energy. I am pretty sure that 25 is the whole bar, the amount of time to fill up the whole thing is 100 minutes. That’s just for the first year that I have not passed yet. But 100 minutes is, you guessed it, more than an hour! So while you’re waiting for the bar to fill, you have time to get distracted and forget about it. Your two hours of waiting on a lesson is over and you have to do it once all over again. I’ve had this happen three or four times with the Winguardium Leviosa lesson with Flitwick. It frustrates me every time. So I have to do it again and when I get to about the third or fourth star, it’s all gone. THEN THE WAITING GAME STARTS AGAIN. The energy and the pricing ranges are my problems. The rest of the game is fine with me..Version: 1.5.5

This Game is BeautifulThe day this released my Mum was on Facebook and showed me the trailer to this game. I have never been so quick and excited to get a Phone game in my life and the moment I opened the game I was immediately addicted to it wanting to know what happened to my Characters brother and when I met Penny I wish her to be a Romance option and so much more it’s a Good game but sadly it does have two things I dislike about the game 1. How long the energy takes to be created I guess you could say I wish it could be cut if you don’t wanna remove it which is like 5% likely you will do it but at least make it 1 or 2 minutes and 2. Sometimes the animation a little bit bad but can be fixed and I’m okay with it but anyway I’m year 4 chapter 5 waiting for next story moments more than halfway I think which is sad as I don’t want the game to end but anyway for anyone who does not know if to play it I recommend it and it’s free so if you don’t like it then at least you texted anyway good luck my Ravenclaws!!!.Version: 1.6.1

Feed backHi, I absolutely love this game I have been playing it for years and because of this have quite a few suggestions. As you can probably tell from the other comments the energy takes wayyy too long to get. I can’t do more than one task before I’m out and then I have to wait for agesss. Also this is a bit of an odd request but when I first started this game I chose to be in Gryffindor because I thought I would meet Harry, Ron and Hermione (I didn’t realise the time lines were different) however I am actually a Ravenclaw and that is the house I want to be in in the game. I spoke to some other people I know and they all have the same problem. One wanted to be in Slytherin for Draco, others Gryffindor for Harry etc. I love the different time line but I would really appreciate it if you gave the option to change houses. Even if it was just a one off. Anyways thanks for the amazing game, keep up the amazing work!.Version: 3.0.0

Great, but two thingsThis game is amazing, and is super fun to play. It is just energy takes so long to get. You have to wait FOUR MINUTES just for ONE PIECE OF ENERGY. It is so annoying! Especially when you have alot of classes or things like that to do. This game requires a ton of waiting. There are so many other ways to get energy, too, like the daily 20 extra energy and playing a quidditch match for one piece ( but you have to wait a long time in between the quidditch matches.) But it just isn’t enough! Since you have to do multiple reviewing classes to do a normal class, and you have to do a normal class to continue on with the story, it just takes forever. I also think there shouldn’t be so many tasks you have to use energy to do. It uses every excuse to give you an energy-using task, even if you just did one! I think it should be two minutes for one energy, or four minutes for two energy, at least. Also, books take too long to get. It says in third year you can craft books with parchment, which I’m sure will be better. But it takes a while to get to third year, and so far I haven’t managed to get much parchment. 40 red books for a bowtruckle, 30 red books for a fairy… you need to adopt these creatures to continue your side stories, but it takes too long. Overall, however, this is a great game..Version: 4.1.3

The game would be better if...The game is probably my favourite IOS game at the moment. It is really fun to play and gives an even better insight into the harry potter universe. But, when doing missions, it might say that i only need one star but the mission goes for eight hours. There will be bonus stars to get if u want them. Now for some people, they are able to complete the mission quickly and there are no problems. But for players like me, i don’t always have the time to complete the mission. I will always get the one required star but there are more important missions for me to do. I think a good feature to add would be a button you can press to either speed up the mission time or end the mission time. This would make the game so much easier to play and more fun to complete missions. I also recommend adding more areas to explore in later years and one more free energy in Hogsmeade. These little things can make the game more enjoyable and fun to play. Overall, it is a great game that i hope is continually worked on by the developers . 4 stars.Version: 1.10.2

New update looks great! but:New cosmetic changes are great, love y'all for that. and the decreased energy renewal time is great, as well as the increased max energy cap, plus the friendship leveling system! I do have a couple of complaints/suggestions, though. 1) some bonus for top contributors to house points would be fantastic. 2) Also being able to speak to certain characters outside of quests/cutscenes would be great let! me! talk! to! rowan!), and also gaining additional friendship points from that as well. 3) now it takes so much energy to even get One star in a class - Don't like that. I understand you have to balance the amount of max energy and energy renewal with that, but make it a little less drastic please. 4) More Merula Snyde character development! i want the protagonist to eventually have a grudgingly respectful relationship with Merula (enemies to friends? PLEASE) 5) stop separating hairstyles by gender please 6) Please bring back the UI that shows the amount of XP i have please 7) let us have more kinds of noses, most of the current ones look the same and are also weirdly pointy. Give us Roman noses, button noses, round noses, etc. please! 8) The Idle animations are great! please make them customizable love y'all.Version: 1.4.0

An interactive delightWhen I first saw this game on the App Store with its somewhat childish graphics, I thought it might be fun to give it a try. So far, it is quickly becoming one of my favourite decision based games on a mobile device: Loveable new characters, charming familiar characters, convincing interactions and with just the right touch of mystery for my liking. Add to that dialogue options attached to an attribute system and you have the heart of what I feel made KOTOR such an enjoyable game. Despite that comparison, thus far this game has managed to feel like a unique experience; one that I am greatly looking forward to continuing..Version: 1.5.4

Very good only 1 annoyanceI am very much enjoying this piece of work. Immersed in the Hogwarts experience, it’s quite a joy. I dislike only one thing really. As you tap through tasks you inadvertently hit the buy energy using gems and the okay button and annoyingly spend your hard earned gems on energy. Please make it more difficult to do this as I have spent 55gems about 4 times when I would rather have just left game a while and patiently returned. It’s very annoying. I dislike wasting my gems and would have about 300 now if not for the stupid placement of the renew energy and the okay - same spot mid screen where you’re clicking activities. Maybe a caution to say are you sure and the okay is not in the same place ? It’s not too hard unless you would prefer to annoy your players and trick them out of their gems. Could be the case. Otherwise a very credible and enjoyable game . 👍🏽 Changed my review to 5 stars . Either it’s harder to do or I have started tapping the side away from the buy energy box. Great game . Now a third year . 🌹.Version: 1.5.5

I LOVE IT But...This game is great and full of adventures, but the only problem I have is when I’m on the last chapter of the first year, The app keeps on crashing and wont allow me to continue. Please fix this..Version: 3.2.1

Updates made difficultHi I’m a really big fan of this game, I play it 24/7 and I appreciate the update was meant to make us be able to watch videos to get more energy more frequently, but I find now it barely appears at all, and I can never get more energy when I need it most. Also one other thing is the dorm rooms have changed and now I find there are too many label tag things of furniture or pet purchases, and I always hit them instead of my pets, I find they really get in the way. Otherwise love this game so much I’m a big fan of the recently developed quidditch part..Version: 2.2.4

Could be better by….I really think it unnecessary to only give you one energy after you wait 4 whole minutes it should give you at least 3 or 4 cuz then you have to wait so long just to finish a class and it gets boring and also you need to reward more books to get animals and at least be able to get a pet when u first start that was a bummer for me because I didn’t get a pet and I was looking forward to it because you know Harry Potter got one when he first came and also why don’t you get to get your broom at the start that’s also a bummer BUT! On a positive note I love how the story just unfolds itself like “ keep playing to unlock this” I love how that just adds adventure and excitement to the game unlocking new things and playing to earn them and I LOVE how it keeps track of what u do through the years and I especially love how you can play them back to remember and it just such an amazing game i really love it I dust wish we were able to get on the train that’s another thing and also I really wish that you could walk by yourself like not have to move your screen we’re u go kinda like Roblox like you control your character to go were you want it and I wish the teachers talked a little more but YOU OR YOU GUYS put a LOT of work and detail in it and it is amazing BUT PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ENERGY I almost deleted the game because of it sorry for making this not long but amazing amazing game I will continue to play😇.Version: 5.7.2

I love it,but there needs to be changesI was so excited when I got this game because I am a potter head I even showed my teacher ( also a potter head). And I was so close to getting to year two but I made a bad choice between two characters. Then I couldn’t do anything in the game since I didn’t have high enough attributes and I had already completed my classes. So I got rid of the game and I just recently downloaded it again and it gave me my same profile. I loved all of the things on my profile but I still couldn’t do anything so if you could make a thing to change your mind or something that could help me out I’d really appreciate it. I’d also like to say something about the Hagrid quests, I love Hagrid and all of the creatures but I can’t even afford the fairies because of how high the book price is. So if you could make the book prices a bit lower I would really appreciate it as well and I bet other people would too. I’d finally like to add the energy. It can take a long time to build up energy and when you earn energy and it above twenty six you can’t earn any more which isn’t quite fair since I would like to make sure I haven enough. And if you could make less of a timer for one energy it would make the game much more efficient. Thank if anybody is reading this I hope you take my ideas on to consideration have a lovely day,evening, or night.🙃.Version: 3.6.1

Great game with crappy timersI really enjoy this game, but I have two big problems. The first is, like everyone else, the energy. I know you can watch ads to get three now, but it is really inconsistent. This means that I get my hopes up for finishing something on time... and then I fail. Maybe bring the time down to two minutes instead of four? If you can, great! Please do so. The second problem is the special adventures. This might just be me, but I haven’t finished a special adventure since Hagrid’s birthday because I don’t have enough time and I don’t spend real money on in-app purchases. Could you extend the time by a day or so on some adventures? Currently I’m being the slave of Lucius Malfoy and I don’t think I’ll finish. I am telling the truth, and I stayed up until about 1:25 in the morning to get that done. The rest of this is a great game, but definitely best for people who have to much free time on their hands..Version: 2.8.1

Dreaming of more, happy it’s here thoughSo glad it’s finally here. I like the graphics, I like the characters, I like the whole premise of attending lessons. I like the music. So thankyou developers, in general it’s a good step in the right direction The main thing I’d change is the outdated energy allowance, seriously guys, I want to play it for a while, not a few minutes here and there. please rethink that part of it, no way am I buying energy, it’s just frustrating. It would be nice if you could explore more, go forward and back rather than just left to right, I’m hoping it won’t be a short game but not sure at this point On a side note....When, oh when will someone build a Harry Potter world where we can build our characters and interact with other people across the world, where we can explore and do mini games like with the LEGO Harry Potter but not just hogwarts, where we can build and buy and sell and go on quests like the console harry potters, where we can explore the whole Harry Potter world like second life ....it would be so popular! Ok so maybe it would be too big for iOS etc but maybe not I don’t know, I’d buy it in whatever form it took, I was hoping this was somewhat like that. But for what it is I do like it so thankyou.Version: 1.5.4

Hogwarts here I come!I LOVE this game! It’s so great to be able to play my way through Hogwarts as my own custom character. I’m loving everything from the storylines, characters, seeing our favourite Hogwarts teachers to even just taking the classes! There are some kinks to sort out, I think the amount of gems you need for certain things and the clothes probably need a good review— who wants to spend your coins/gems on ugly Sims clothes when you can just wear your Hogwarts uniform? Other than that, I am just enjoying the heck out of it!.Version: 1.1.5

I love the gameplay and designI like how you can choose your own path be in what house you would like to be in Hogwarts and customise a character name it whatever you want it’s quite nice how you are free in the game how are you can do what you want and how it’s a mystery it’s quite fun if I do say so myself I have been playing it for awhile I’m the only thing I don’t like about it is how if you sign off the game it restart the arm the gameplay restarts you at the beginning of the chapter I don’t like the outfit but everything else quite fun I write this five stars keep it up it’s quite fun could you please make more games like this it would be quite nice if you did thanks keep up the good work and enjoy the time on the game and for newcomers that are looking for a game that are that is like this just come to Hogwarts in this game it’s got mysteries it’s got fun you can do whatever you want it’s free you can choose your own path like you can be in slithering hustle puff Hogwarts is like super nice game I love it arm so yeah I like and it’s Harry Potter thing and I like how you can name your character whatever you want my name to my character Satan death because why not it’s quite fun keep up the good work thanks for the game!😊😍🤩💗💓🏅🥇.Version: 3.5.0

TimeAwesome game I love it so much this game is my favourite I just wish that there was no such thing as energy and that you have to wait 7 hours just so that you can start a task but it’s a really good game.Version: 3.5.2

Awesome game!😊Awesome game, I started playing and it’s really good, I am wondering, does every one who plays have a brother or sister who got expelled from hogwarts? Because I do and every one is mean about it. Only problem is energy, it is so hard to get and all the tasks need it but otherwise it’s a great game, so nice to see your name on a acceptance letter.😊😀 But it does really need improvement on energy though and it’s like, what the heck? Why do I have to wait for HOURS! To get energy?! I get that the developers need money from the game but it would be so much more fun if energy was free or at least one or two gems rather then having to pay heaps of gems or waste your time waiting. I totally agree with all the other players complaining about this game, all we want is to be part of the Harry Potter world but the developers are ruining it! I have not experienced any of the glitches or black outs the other players are saying happens but I am only on chapter 4, year one and I have no doubt that soon I will start getting faults in my app too. So developers, please make some MAJOR changes!.Version: 2.5.0

A few thingsOkay, so I absolutely love this game, i just think there are somethings that could be improved. Like I know the Special Adventures are like that because they only happen at certain times, but i think the game would be so much better if you could choose when to play the Special Adventures. Like we have a memory log book and we could easily have a list of Special adventures that we have to pay notebooks for or something to play. I just think it would be so much better then because it takes only like a week to complete the first year and the same for the second year so I just think it would be better if we had a different way to play them. Then there’s the memories. I think it’s a nice idea rewatching memories, but also kind of pointless. I feel like we should be allowed to retake those choices while we’re replaying the memories. Of course these choices won’t affect the game we’re playing now, it’s just for us to see how things could have gone. If you added all these things I think the game could be a lot better. But aside from that, I love the game..Version: 4.2.1

Less time for energyHi there! To the team of this game, i hope you read this and hope it doesn’t offend anyone. I’ll start with the bad and end on the good. I only have one slight problem with the game and that being how long it takes the energy to charge back up. Four minutes for one energy doesn’t sound bad at all, but seeing how fast the energy is used up makes it hard to progress further and faster in the game. So if you can, can you please lessen the time on the recharge for energy? Or make it that if we want more we can watch 30 second ads to get more? I know you can purchase more energy with the diamonds but we run out so fast and I’m not going to purchase any with real money, as again, it gets used too fast. This would be amazing!!! If you did this. Truly. Now the good stuff! Everything and I mean everything apart from the energy recharge time is amazing. From the storyline, graphics, characters and how the gameplay is, is awesome! I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter so this game is the icing on the cake! Thank you for making such a game. I hope you read this and make some changes on the energy. Other than that, fabtastic game. Look forward to hearing from you soon 😊.Version: 1.13.1

Great game but…Hello! Before I tell you what could improve this game, let me get something straight. This is an AMAZING game and I recommend it to anyone who likes Hogwarts, or even doesn’t like Hogwarts! I am not really a fan of Harry Potter but this game makes it all the more fun. With that said, the progress timer can be SO annoying at times! I know what it’s supposed to do. It’s supposed to make you waste diamonds which are really rare to skip the timer. Although the diamonds are in-game currency, if you don’t earn much of it you need to spend real money to buy it. In other words, the only real way to progress efficiently is to spend real money that you worked hard to earn. Look, I’m not an ad hater so maybe swap the timer out with a couple ads but the timers are long (I’m talking minimum of two hours long) and annoying. Maybe even keep the timers but at least make them shorter! Same goes with energy. I, for one, am in the middle of an Easter event where they dish out energy every day but when that ends, maybe whenever you earn a star they give you five energy or something? I know it’s only a wait of four minutes, but still! Thank you for reading this incredibly long review. I would appreciate a reply if possible. 😃.Version: 4.1.3

Good...Needs improvementFirst off I’d like to say this game is very enjoyable and entertaining. The objective is to attend Hogwarts, learn and meet new friends. Though how good this game is there are some problems that should be dealt with. The biggest problem in my opinion is the energy. At first the game is fun but soon all the energy is used and you have to wait half an hour so you can spend a minute playing which is crazy! Maybe the tasks should take less energy because talking to someone should not really take 5 energy points, even though it is a game. Furthermore the storyline is a bit basic and boring and you don’t get as much freedom as you’d like. Also maybe instead of the character finding one best friend and being stuck with them the character would be allowed to meet people on the train station or the Hogwarts Express. Also the characters need to have a personality. Additionally maybe the wand and house should be chosen using a quiz, like Pottermore does. Also the classes could be more realistic instead of just tracing a line and tapping random objects, it’s quite repetitive. All in all the game is fun and exciting but there are so many ways to make it better..Version: 1.10.1

A few problems...I love this app, but it has a few problems. 1: When you have a special event on, it doesn’t give you enough time to complete it. I try every time to complete the animagus adventure, but it never lets you. 2: The energy takes too long to regenerate! It takes four minutes for one energy. It should be one or two minutes, not four. It makes it impossible to do anything! What is the point in downloading a adventure game, if all the adventures need energy, and the energy takes too long to load??!! 3: It’s really hard to get character trait points, and house points. The character trait points help you with everything, but are near impossible to get. Why??!! And house points, are barely existing. It’s impossible to get any. 4: It takes ages to load! Half the things will load, then glitch, then start again. Most people don’t have time to wait for ages for a game to load. 5: You can’t choose your own story. It sets up a background, and then the entire story. You just play along. I thought I got to choose my adventure, and do it WITH Harry Potter. We should get to choose our story, have a proper sorting (so a actual quiz that sorts us), and we should choose our friends and life. Please fix these problems..Version: 2.6.2

I really love the game but there is only two problemsOK I really love this Game it’s super Duper amazing🤩but there is two or three problems😳 so the first problem is when you choose the right or kind of right answer it just takes away some of your knowledge or shields😟 and it’s hard to do it because I can’t convince The girl who is worried about Ben☹️ and it’s kind of hard to convince her because it just takes away your stuff and it even takes away your progress and I don’t like that please change it and make sure it doesn’t take your progress away please🥺OK so now the second problem is why does everything have to be so expensive for diamonds😳😳 because I don’t know how to get diamonds except for watching videos🥲🥲🥲everything is so expensive and I don’t like it so can you please change that☺️☺️☺️ OK so now it’s the third problem the third problem is that every single time I get in it’s sometimes like child labels something yada yada yada and I have to re-join the game😕😕😕 and I hope you read this review and I love your game but first I have some suggestions can you please please please add more people to be friends with and I want like more action kind of I really like what you done but I want you to make it even more better so please read this review I would be so happy if you did this thank you☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️.Version: 3.6.1

Incredible but...This game is a whole lot of fun to play and tickles my fancy for a wizard themed RPG where you can explore Hogwarts in a different light. It’s fun and interesting to play yet the biggest draw back is the energy bar, I feel like every time I get into playing, I’m stopped in my tracks because I can’t do anything unless I pay $30 to buy gems and then in turn buy energy, which is just ridiculous. The momentum of the game is almost completely ruined every time I try to play because I’m constantly forced to wait to do things, not to mention I never remember what’s going on when I return and end up having to re-do a lot of things I’ve done before, just because I’ve missed one tap to get a star because I’ve run out of energy and put the game down and this forgotten all about it for hours. Then when I come back I don’t want to play anymore because I’ve lost all my progress. I’m sure this is an awesome and very fun game when you can sink $30 into it every 15 minutes just to play, but beyond that singular negative point, it’s a well made and interesting game.Version: 1.15.1

GREAT GAMEI have loved Harry Potter for so long and now I can finally play it on this muggle device thanks game creato!.Version: 1.1.5

Amazing but frustratingI absolutely love this game. The detail behind the story and graphics and the accuracy is perfect. It’s so amazing seeing something I loved so much in my childhood and to this day come to life. That being said, I do wish there were more mini games that didn’t require energy. The amount of energy we receive is much too low for the amount needed to complete a task. By the time I’ve waited for my energy to refill my task has timed out and I have to start all over. I love the three mini games that allow you to gain a higher relationship with friends (the meal, gobstones, and butterbeer). I wish there were more opportunities like that, as it is fun if you know Harry Potter trivia, does not require energy, and high friendships is important later on in the game. If there is nowhere to put another game like this, then the time needed until you can have another meal with friends etc should be shorter. Right now it takes 9+ hours after playing once to play again. I also wish the tasks were more interactive as opposed to clicking on the screen until your energy runs out. I feel like it would be so much more fun if we could actually participate in the classes. I love the story and watching it progress, but I hate the energy system. Hopefully in future versions more mini games will be added or it will take less time for energy to replenish. Or ideally the energy will not be needed at all!.Version: 1.18.1

AlrightMost of you’ll have seen the problem with the very limited energy system so I’ll just state some improvements that can be made that won’t throw away the concept of making money from these interactions. First off, you could add more quests early on that give the plus 1 energy capacity which I thought would be more frequent after the first given one :( . Or, you could speed up the energy reload timer just a bit. At the moment I believe it’s 3 minutes? I’m not entirely sure but it’s around there and that’s just for 1 energy. I can’t even finish 2 star missions with 28 energy and the timer for each mission is a bummer cause sometimes I just can’t get back on time with enough energy to finish and it resets leading to the grinding resetting. Story is intriguing. Gameplay is eh. The focus and spell casting is alright. The dueling sometimes feels weird[4 straight offensive for example(I kept choosing sneaky hoping for something else)]. I was kinda let down by not quiz to see where you fit in but I guess the internet has a bunch if I really wanted one. The competition for points was a bit disappointing for me because I’m at this moment have scored the most points for my team(ravenclaw) 2nd place atm and my team is still last ;(. Could you add something like top 10 contributors overall get something cause right now it feels like even if I continually get the most points my team will never make it due to less people..Version: 1.5.3

Love it the gameLove this game play it mostly everyday, but I feel like it need a change. The change should be that the energy shouldn't be recharged for 1 every 4 minutes its just not fair. I think it should be less than that so that people could have more time actually playing the game instead of wasting the time to regain that energy to continue playing. I feel like I would enjoy this game a bit more because I don't have to wait to recharge to continue playing. Also feel as though there shouldn't be the necessary need to earn stars and waste more of your energy and time just to start a class to learn a new thing. There should also be an easier way to adopt all the animals that are requested for the side quests because getting the amount of books needed is unethical because you don't really earn them a lot within the game it self. Also think there should definitely be more better looking outfits that don't cost that much within the game. I hate wearing the same old boring cloths I have/have earned. I also feel like there should be more wand options as well or at least wand appearance. Seeing as though the answer you pick at Ollivanders is the same 3 answers/wands you get like everyone else. It doesn't make it as unique as one would like it to be Love this game but makes me not really want to play it as often as i want because of those things..Version: 5.2.1

Love this game SM but have one complaintSo I absolutely love playing this game and I’m a third year now but my complaint is that if you’re in a class/quest and you close the game (not completely exit out but just go back to your Home Screen or something)while you’re waiting for energy to refill and then come back after a while, it’ll restart/reopen the app and it resets my “progress.” For example, I was in a herbology class and I closed out and went back to work while I waited for energy. When I came back, my energy was reset back to zero when it should’ve been full after the 2 hours I was gone, and my progress went back a star, I was at 4 stars and then it went back down to 3. Thankfully this all resets your time left in class to where it was when you left vs wasting your time. I’ve had this problem happen multiple times and it gets frustrating because then I’m just back to where I was when I left and forced to wait however long again for my energy to refill. I can’t even do other tasks because I have no energy and all the things you can click on each area to get energy are reset too so I can’t use them again because I already did. So yeah not a major deal, just an annoyance. Still love the game and will continue to keep playing. lol sorry this was so long, and probably didn’t make any sense but I explained the best I could 😅.Version: 5.4.1

AMAZING GAME!This game is great! I love the new update where you can have pets! There are just a few things which annoy me about it. A lot of people think that the energy takes to long to recharge but I think it is fine. One thing that annoys me is that you have to wait 3 hrs or over just to have a really quick, small conversation with a teacher or friend and then you have to wait another 3 or more hrs to do the next thing. If you could change it so we don’t have to wait as long to do the smallest things. Another thing that annoys me is that when we have to unlock lessons you have to collect loads of stars to then be able to have them. But then you have to wait another few hours for your energy to recharge enough to play it. I think you should either reduce the amount of stars you have to get or just let us be able to play the lessons straight away. Also if you could make winning house points a bit easier because we barely earn any in lessons but we lose them like that when we have a talk with a teacher. Aside from these two things I think this is an amazing game. Please release some new updates, every time they get better! Thank you so much for this phenomenal game!!!🧙🏻‍♂️🧙🏻‍♀️🏰✨✍🏻✨📚✨.Version: 1.7.3

Energy system ruins the game.Dear Developers, I am a huge Harry Potter fan and fan of this game! But the energy system is horrible. Full energy only gives you a couple minutes game time and you are not able to finish any tasks and it makes the game boring. It’s very disruptive especially if you have somewhere to go and are on a tight schedule and cannot finish a lesson. The energy system holds up tasks which holds up chapters and it’s just horrible. Endless energy would be absolutely perfect or something along those lines. Besides that the storyline is very exciting and interesting although a little bit more freedom would make it so much better such as establishing more friendships and romantic relationships would make the game more fun and interactive, more like the original books. The graphics are also magnificent and I’d say everything in the game is brilliant beside those 2 things. I love how it also connects to the Harry Potter storyline with characters from Harry’s period..Version: 1.5.5

Update ErrorSounds like I’m not the only one with this issue. Whenever I open up the task icon to see my quest and side quests, it says error. Please fix this, I love this game. This has only been an issue since the new update..Version: 2.6.0

Good game, but...I really like this game. It’s fun, interesting, it’s got great graphics, and it has a good storyline. However, I think there’s a few things this game could add to make it a truly 5-star game. The first way it could be improved is by making the game more interactive. Instead of just tapping on things to use energy, it would be great if we could actually control our character as they do things. This could still cost energy, and it would make the game more fun for the players. Additionally, it would be great if we could customize our Animagus form. In both the books and the movies, Animagi still have defining personal characteristics in their animal form. This could be added to the game through a one-time customization when you get your Animagus form, where you could then change your fur/feather color, eye color, and other characteristics to look more like yourself. One last thing I think could make the game better is diversity in the romance options. It would be nice if instead of only having six people to pick from, you could choose to have a crush on any of your friends. If this isn’t possible, it would at least be nice to have Bill as a romance option since I believe you can have a crush on him early in the game, but he isn’t available for the dating side quest or the Celestial Ball. Whether or not these things get added, Hogwarts Mystery is a great game, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Harry Potter..Version: 2.6.2

Love it buuuut....I’m loving this game so much! To begin with it’s awesome and lots of choices that let you choose more of who you want to be as a character! BUT. The amount of energy that it actually takes your character just to complete any kind of task is a lot considering how little you actually get to begin with and how long it takes for you to be able to build the energy back up before finishing a task. Being able to buy energy with the coins that you earn from the tasks would be a much better idea instead of just using the gems as they are harder to acquire. I understand this is probably the ploy to keep people spending on the game as I’ve already spent a little myself but people will get sick of this fairly quickly and lose interest like I am already starting too because you have to wait hours to unlock certain tasks because you don’t want to have to pay for more gems or energy. Definitely either needs to be less energy used whilst performing tasks or a better way to make it back more quickly and I would be playing it more often!.Version: 1.5.3

Hogwarts Mystery ReviewI love this game, I have it downloaded on multiple mobile devices and have a different Hogwarts house to experience different sides of the story. I’m very excited to play the new Hogwarts Legacy game when it releases as I have it pre-ordered and got excited when I found out I could link my house and wand to the new game using the official Wizarding world website. As far as this game goes, I love playing it but the wait for energy kills me and limits the amount of time I would like to complete quests in. As someone who works often I can’t complete quests as quickly as I’d like to within the time limits and often it times out before I’m able to complete the quest. This game is also real money focused on rewards, which is originally aimed for children, I could see where it’d be super easy to accidentally purchase something they probably shouldn’t be. I would enjoy playing this game better if it didn’t take so long for energy stores to replenish, and I could actually complete quests in a decent amount of time before times run out. Quests requiring 5 stars to complete with the amount of energy I have seems impossible with my changing schedule. I would recommend this game to any Hogwarts and Harry Potter fan, and continue to play it as it is my favorite mobile game. ~A proud Slytherin 💚🐍.Version: 4.7.5

Great game with potential but ...Hi developers of this fantastic game. I am a fan of Harry Potter and I really enjoyed playing this game when I have some down time. Like the other players, I am not happy about the energy level and to wait for 4 minutes. The other problem I have at year 4 onwards is the sudden ‘quit’ when I wanted to go to Transfiguration class. I tried at least 4 times (login and it quits on me to restart right from the beginning. Now I am in Year 5, I cannot go to courtyard, transfiguration class, history and herbology class. The system seem to lock me out every time. I quit playing this game altogether. Please fix the bugs! I do want to complete all levels. Thank you..Version: 2.1.0

The excitement of Harry Potter returnsThis is a must have for Potter fans. Beautiful graphics and game play! Just started playing and so far I am really liking it. Only problem I have is game play is very short until you run out of energy. Would be nice to see a way to collect some energy. It’s a on and off interest when having to wait all the time and jump to another game that I can smoothly play. This fees like lag time. Not everyone is made of money unfortunately..Version: 1.1.5

It’s amazing but one thing…I absolutely love this game, it’s full of true things about the amazing world of Hogwarts and all the spells and potions are precise except for flipendo, it’s the most powerful spells in your early years but I don’t think in exists in real wizarding world, apologies if I’m wrong. My big doubt about this is that there is too much waiting for the energy to fill up. Say your energy’s max is 29, it would take about a hundred minutes to full back up. I think the game developers should add a daily reward because research (my best friends but actual research as well ) shows that daily rewards in games have players turn on the game every day to receive the rewards, then they think “I’ll just look around for five minutes” and then they see the quest that needs to be done and all of a sudden, their playing for an hour! Anyway, this game is so amazing and if you love the Wizarding World as much as I do, this is the game for you. One more thing I just want to put it out there, Griffindore is overrated. And before you doubt me, think why you love Griffindore so much, are they really as great as they seem? Thank You!!!.Version: 5.1.1

Love the game…..butI love the wizarding world, and loved the game as it lets us be part of the magic, so to say. But some of issues I have with it are ones people have had, like the time limits on adventures or how long to wait to talk to someone, or or waiting for the energy to replenish as it is needed to complete the event or adventure (or class), the pages price to play adventures I was unable to play/complete (again, due to waiting for energy to replenish), the quidditch games (why do we have to pay coins for something that should be testing speed, aka how quick you can get the glowing orb into the circles to do a successful manoeuvre). If they was no energy, no coins for quidditch, and no slow wait times, I am sure you would have an even better game then you do now. I mean the graphics beats some games out there. Also, maybe make it so we can pick what spell we can learn in class (and not have spells be unique to a event, the amount of spells I have missed due to me not being able to complete events is annoying) it would make people, like me or not (I’m not Trelawney), a lot happier and eger to play Hogwarts Mystery (also, let the player have a better broom for quidditch, also shouldn’t we be meeting Oliver Wood soon,I’m in fourth year and wondering when Oliver will be turning up) Hope you take on board what I have written and maybe work towards doing something like I commented..Version: 4.7.0

Fun but glitchySo far it’s a fun game. It’s a cool storyline and the likeness to Hogwarts is fantastic. It could be a bit more open though for choices and it’s quite glitchy. One glitch that’s really frustrating is when you learn a new skill or level up friendship you’re supposed to get a reward but you don’t get the gems. I hope they fix this really soon. Also it’s really expensive! Obviously this is designed to encourage in-app purchases but it’s so expensive that I’d rather just not play the game. If it was cheaper I’d actually be encouraged to buy a few times to continue gameplay.Version: 1.5.4

Great Game! However has a couple problemsHogwarts Mystery is such a fun, exiting game! I love the friends you make, challenges you must over come, and how well the developers made Hogwarts. In fact, Hogwarts looks a lot like it in the movies. Something I loved was how they made Peeves. It’s so cool! They did a really good job using the clues in the books to make peeves. One thing I wish could change is the energy bonuses. I dislike that you have to wait 4 whole minutes just to get 1 energy bonus. If you don’t want to wait, spend your gems. The thing is if you don’t have enough, you have to buy it. If you are like my friend, who’s parents won’t buy you anything. I totally understand! Otherwise, you should play this game. I also enjoyed that I was able to pick what house I was in. I’m a Hufflepuff so I was able to just pick Hufflepuff. My other friends who are in the other houses showed me each of the common rooms. They are spectacular!! In my opinion, my favorite common room is the Hufflepuff common room. It’s so cool! You’ll love it! You don’t have to pay very much for anything, Unless you want to support the game, witch in my opinion you should. I wish that you could pick your own friend in the beginning because Rowan is very nerdy and kinda ravenclaw ish. But anyways you should play this game!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for reading my whole review and yeah, maybe I’ll see your review.Version: 2.1.1

Harry PotterI am so impressed of this game I really like this game and I think you should deserve a really really a high interview. I just think that this game is so cool I just can’t believe it. Harry Potter is my favorite I just cannot have a different game. This is such a cool game. Thank you for making this game. This is such a cool game it if you don’t make another one of these games I’m not gonna care because this is one of the best games ever. I just can’t believe you could’ve done all this work for the I am. I just think it’s really really cool I’m all up I just can’t. I just can’t believe it. I just think it’s so cool I get off at interesting in magic I just love having this game. I just think it’s the best thing I could ever have. I’ve been dreaming of having a Harry Potter game and now it’s my dream to come true and I love how I could choose a high standard for this I just I just don’t know what to say I just don’t know this is the best thing ever I just honestly I hate I’m just on such a cool day I could not have anything else in this. Thank you for making the best game ever please make thousands of more Harry Potter games because one of these is enough but thousands is more than late I don’t know what to say honestly I just think this is such a good game I want more games like this like I can a son I just I just don’t know what to say it’s Gryffindor Hufflepuff raven claw I just can’t say anything. Oh, I’ve almost forgot silver in that’s what is a.Version: 5.5.1

Excellent Game :)First of all, I love the game, being a Harry Potter fanatic - loving both the books and the movies - being able to play this game really brings a fan’s imagination to life. This game does require a lot of patience between being able to continue with quests at certain points, and waiting for your energy bar to fill up - having to wait 4 minutes for a singular energy. Even though the wait time feels like a while, there are still activities you are able to do to be able to gain some energy again, and adding this wait to be able to continue with quests and gaining energy adds a more realistic approach to the game. I thoroughly enjoy this aspect of the game because it is based around a large storyline as well as being a student going through the sevens years at Hogwarts. If there was not this wait, it would feel almost pointless to play such a game that has so much to it - in regards to friendships, going through each year, the storyline and quests - if was any shorter. I’ve only had the game for a couple of weeks and have managed to get to my third year, so even though there is a wait you’re still able to have a steady progress through the game (noting that I have also not spent real money or the gems in the game to speed up any progress). Really, this is game is just amazing and quite relaxing. The dialogue gets me wanting to actually read it and immerse myself in the game and the characters and storyline..Version: 3.4.0

I hoped for betterI know this opinion has been shared many times before,but it seems that you DO NOT exactly get the point:THIS GAME IS HORRENDOUS! At first I was willing to forgive this ‘game’(if you can even call it that)for the fact you have to wait for energy in order to do simple and easy gameplay. I have been trying to ‘like’ the game,however such an act would unheard of. Like many others I was lured into this ‘game’ because of the opportunity to go to Hogwarts and create your own character. I know many people have written about the fact ‘The Devils Snare’ encounter in year 1 and the ‘energy crisis’,but I am going bring a new subject to this argument:copying the Harry Potter series. Even though this game has not developed to the 7th year of Hogwarts,there have been some parts of the story which have been CLEARLY been taken from Harry’s time at Hogwarts,for example:in the beginning of the ‘game’ we meet a character named Rowan,he/she is rather intelligent and logical like Hermione,when you go to the dungeons for the first time you meet a Slytherin called Merula Synde who has criminal parents just like Draco,also in your first year you come across a locked door in a forbidden corridor just like Harry,Hermione and Ron did except you changed it by making the same except you made the characters different. In conclusion,this was an unpleasant experience I hope no one will have to endure..Version: 1.6.0

Require BackupHello team, There’s this one request please! I was away for a year because lot of stuff was happening in my life from depression to anxiety atracks. I love this game but I left it when I had too much on my plate. I just resumed it back and what I get to know that I have missed my chance to get the spells from past events I deserve considering the amount of effort + time I put in progessing throughout the game. It is not fair because life does not stay the same and there are times we have to give up the things over our priorities and almost all games are built in a way to support that. I m in year 3 (almost the end) Please is there any way I can request the events back. Your advance technological team must have a solution to this problem where they can find out who missed the dueling event or any other event to get spells etc.. Duelling is my favourite part of this game that I came back. Please if you can do this I’d be the happiest person on this earth. P.S. My character name - Jasmine Ashdown (year 3).Version: 2.9.2

Addicting and FunI think this game is perfect! It tells you a story and you get to meet friends and increase your relationship level with them as well as your attribute points. You get to dress your character and buy pets. Many people complain about the energy, but I feel as though if there wasn’t energy, you would be done with the game too quick. I love that you can make choices to increase your attribute levels, which allows you to make special choices. I also love that by clicking on certain spots you get a point of energy. I also love that by buying a pet with in game money, you get a point of energy when they are sleeping and click on them. I love that these pets are helpful. The fact that you can increase your relationship with characters to get rewards and be able to bring them with you on quests is really cool, and to do that, you must answer Harry Potter trivia makes it even better. I like that you can duel with other characters, and the way to win is to have batter attribute levels, and know more stronger spells. I also like the special events that go on that allow you to get prizes, such as outfits, gems, and coins for getting a certain amount of stars in classes before the time runs out. The only thing I don’t like about this game is the glitches. It isn’t that bad though, it never got me frustrated, and I’m in my fourth year..Version: 1.8.2

Potterheads are proudThis game is amazing, I was looking forward to play this game and here I am! Thank you for full filling our dreams to become a wizards even in a other way! Thank you very much..Version: 1.1.5

Absolutely amazing but could be betterOverall this game is amazing and I can’t get enough of it. But then there’s really annoying things about the game. One thing is the energy. The thing I hate the most about this game. I know energy is there so that you don’t basically finish the whole game in like a day but what I want This game to change is the energy. I’m not saying that you should get rid of it, but I’m saying that you should definitely make the wait times different as it’s kinda unrealistic to wait four whole minutes for one bit of energy. So what I usually do to pass the time, is watch ads but if I really can’t be bothered I spend 55 gems. For me that is really a lot. The second thing is the wait times to do things like for instance you’ve just got into the good part of the game and then, you actually have to wait 2 HOURS. And to skip the time you need to spend those sweets. One more thing that I want to complain about is the prices of things. You know when you buy cool outfits and pets but you realise that you’re gonna need to start saving for ages because it’s like 2000 gems or something. I really want this game to make these prices cheaper cuz it’s kinda like this game literally expects the players to be made of money. Overall this game is great but I would really appreciate it if these things I’ve pointed out can change..Version: 5.6.3

Great Game but needs some tweaksSo I just started playing this game today and I absolutely loved it until, I got to the part where I’m stuck with the devil’s snare and I need to use the lumos charm to stop it. So I start the task and press on all the glowing objects that are needed to be pressed and use my energy. Then, after only doing three ones it says that I failed, every time this has happened to me. I’ve even looked it up to watch a walkthrough and they have no trouble like me. So I don’t know if it’s just a bug or what because I’m unable to finish the task because the app is saying I only got 2 and 1/2 stars out of five because it isn’t letting me finish it. So please fix this up! Or otherwise I won’t be able to play the game and I’d be really upset because just the start seems amazing with the storyline! Also one other thing can you add more customisations to your character, such as more hair options and colours. Since I have red hair and there isn’t really a good red hair option and there isn’t a hairstyle that looks like mine. Anyways overall the game is great! Keep up the good work but if possible, please fix these things!.Version: 2.3.1

PLEASE fix the glitches/game crashes!! 😭This started when my game crashed after winning a duel ... then it started up again & to my dismay I saw the same duel end with ME losing, so I lost the prize I had gained (as it was 9/9). As if that weren’t bad enough, I then decided to feed the 3 creatures I had (now 4). Fed the first 2 with no issues, but the game crashed when I went to another area to feed the third creature. When the game came back on, I was in the area before again ... & I was REALLY frustrated to find that my creatures STILL needed feeding! At that point, I just quit playing, because it was making me lose my cool. Then I saw the upgrade & thought that would fix things ... but now it won’t even let me play the game properly! It crashes repeatedly when I switch areas & it erased all the progress I had made! I wish I hadn’t upgraded, because at least it allowed me to get some tasks done ... & now I can’t even collect energy orbs! Please get this fixed, because I’ve already purchased a special outfit in this game & I’d hate to throw away a game I’ve spent money on. 😭💔📱.Version: 3.3.2

Harry Potter and the Blackout CourtyardNot going to lie, I really enjoy this game, having played it since the week of launch. I like the story it always keeps me on my toes and with new lore about the Wizarding World. I like the mechanics, energy is fickle and the time sensitive story events are harsh (in a good way). The thing I can’t deal with is the random blackouts that shut down the app, the worst offender is the Clocktower Courtyard. It started happening around 3rd year, on the occasion the Clocktower Courtyard or when entering the Lower East Floor the app would crash. Back then no issue, I turn the game back on and no issue. But recently it’s been getting worse to the point where I can’t continue with the story. During this latest release I’ve been going through the Quidditch side quest. It’s been real fun but the game keeps crashing every so often. When I open the clothing menu, crash, at the very end of a Quidditch Friendly, crash. Now these crashes are stopping me from meeting with Penny in the Clocktower Courtyard due to this being the worst offender for these blackouts. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and turned my device on and off. I just want to progress with my Hogwarts story without the blackouts..Version: 2.0.0

MisleadingThis game has an interesting plot and clever features. I disagree with some of those who find the energy wait times and such disappointing; while they ARE sometimes painful, I think they’re fair in providing an incentive for spending without being too disruptive in their duration; you can still interact with the game and make progress in a meaningful way every day for free, and the hidden energy replenishes in a reasonable amount of time and is a fun feature. The price points for the gems are still a bit high; a lower price point would promote more buying. My biggest source of frustration in this development period is the fact that the full game has not been released; it currently ends near the end of year 3. Had I known this, I would likely have been more patient rather than spending gems to progress more quickly. Hopefully there will be some compensation for this in future releases. I also take issue with the button features when running out of energy; on several occasions I have accidentally hit the button to spend gems without intending to; I would like to see a confirmation window with a button in a different screen location before gems are spent. I think the game has potential, and look forward to future releases, but will not be purchasing further gems given what I now know. Without the criticisms above, I’d give the app 4-5 stars..Version: 1.5.5

This game is super fun, but could use an couple adjustmentsI have really enjoyed playing this game, it has a lot of cool things you can do to make the game more fun and has a variety of character customizations. However there are a few things that I feel drag down the experience. I have noticed that many people are mentioning how long it takes for energy to recharge. It’s also very similar with how expensive adopting mythical creatures. They cost so many books, and it is hard to get that many books without spending a lot of money. While this isn’t something that bothers me too much, it definitely seems a too long. The thing that bothers me the most are that some events are super hard to pass. I have noticed that with some tasks it is extremely hard to pass even if you meet the recommended level of courage, intelligence, and empathy. I’ve been struggling for a couple days trying to complete the full moon rising event, but have been stuck on the dual because even though I have the recommended stats I keep failing. I would be fine with this if it was because I picked the wrong move, but I have had a couple where I made the correct choices except for 1 and because of this I loose before I can get the opponent to half health. Since this is a chance thing like Rock Paper Scissors I feel like it is a bit too difficult. Especially since it costs 200 gold for each try..Version: 5.2.2

It’s great until...This game is very fun for Harry Potter lovers or people who are interested in witchcraft and wizardry. I have had this game for a while and enjoy it thoroughly, but there are some things that I think would be better if changed. First off, the energy. It makes sense that you need energy to complete tasks, but what doesn’t make sense is how long it takes. It takes 4 minutes to get one energy, which doesn’t do much, in the case that you need 3-5 energy for most tasks. I think that it would be better 4 minutes for 3 energy or something like that, or they could have it 2 minutes for 1 energy,if that makes any sense. The second thing that I think should be changed is redownloading it. I got the game and enjoyed the game for a while, then stopped playing it, due to the issue previously discussed. I was going through apps that I haven’t played in a while and deleted this app. I later got it back because I kept seeing ads for it and decided to try it again. I let the game load up, and it automatically resumed where I was previously. I wish that it would restart your game, rather then resuming it. My reason why is because I forgot what was happening in the game, so I wanted to see, but I couldn’t. That was quite confusing. I also had chosen the wrong house previously and tried to do it again, but because of this issue, my house choice was permanent. Also, if you chose the wrong action, you can’t go back and change it..Version: 3.2.0

Please take care of this bug.Hey I really do like this game, however I hadn’t played in like two years because you see in the game I had just finished year one and was trying to proceed onto year 2 however it cut in the middle of dumbledore’s speech and it took me out off the game I tried doing some things to fix it but it didn’t work, so after that i eventually stopped playing but decided to come back to it two years later and the bug is still not fixed now I can’t even go into the great hall, Please fix this bug or let me know how to fix it I really like this game and want to continue playing it but having this bug frustrates me..Version: 3.2.2

Best Harry Potter Game Ever! But...So, by far this is the best Harry Potter game I have played, and I love graphics and attention to detail. The tasks are fun and for the most part the time limits allow you to advance. The storyline is interesting, and there are so many things to do! There is just one problem, don’t worry, it isn’t a glitch, it’s the energy. The energy takes 4 minutes each to recharge, and the energy limit you have is 28, taking a little over an hour for all your energy to recharge. This can be a problem during tasks, especially when they require all five stars. Personally, I think you should lower it down to 2 minutes, that way the energy can recharge faster, and we can finish the story! I know that with the energy limit, the company can earn more money, but I should think that they already get a lot from people spending money on rubies, so they can customize their wizard. Sorry if this assumption is wrong. Either way, this game is great, and I hope to see many awesome updates in the future! It would deeply appreciated if I got a reply, but if not that’s ok. (QUICK UPDATE: The Halloween Feast and the Lone Wolf adventures have inspired me to request an adventure. Can you make an adventure where it gives us a chance to become a werewolf? Kinda like the Animagus adventure with a limited time period and stuff. But it would be SO COOL if we could do that. I hope you will seriously consider this.).Version: 3.7.1

Amazing.I will give this game five stars, I’ve been playing since April and I love it. The is quite a few reviews that don’t like the fact that 1 energy recharges every 4 mins, but actually, I quite like that they did that, because for adults or kids who are prone to game addiction - it can help you stop staring at the screen. So when you run out of energy, you set your notifications on, wait 2 hours for a full recharge and continue playing. I’m glad it doesn’t recharge faster to be honest otherwise people would complete the game by now and be like “well that was fun but it didn’t last long” that’s the point of the 4 min recharge so it lasts longer! I’m already in year 3 and haven’t uploaded money (but I will donate eventually to the devs for such an amazing job.) I do have one suggestion however, would it be possible to get your energy back after a failed 5* task? Because sometimes when I’m 5 energy points away and I wait for a recharge, I end up forgetting and starting the task all over again on 3hr & 8hr tasks, I’ve even spent a few hours on the same task over and over again because I either forgot about it or overslept it.. you could set a limit once per day for it..Version: 2.8.0

ITS GREATBut do everybody start with this thing about her brother?.Version: 1.1.5

Surprisingly Has SoulDon't be quick to judge. Many reviews are one stars with lots of hate for the energy system. I think people are overlooking the fact that the game is designed around the energy system, it's not just some unnecessary cash grab. If you had infinite energy, you would essentially be reading stories for a few hours and then be done forever. When you have to wait not only are you forced to take time from your phone, achievements feel better because you have to be patient to get them. You can clear the entire game successfully without paying money. I get the season pass every month because I earn plenty more than that many gems every month. There are many opportunities to earn anything you want in this game with the exception of some exclusive cosmetics you can pay for. The energy system is just fine, I like it. The game revolves around it well. I enjoy slowly getting to develop narratives about magic mishaps, monsters, quidditch, and relationships over many months. I think this addition to the various Harry Potter games is one of the best. Props to the Jam City support staff for having a team that consistently replies to all issues, and is truly helpful in resolving issues. It's rare to find that. There were many issues I had they fixed right away. Out of maybe 8 issues over much time there was only one issue where I was not compensated (only for about 50 lost energy). The other 7 issues they fixed, and fixed quickly. That's about a 85% resolution rate. They could throw money at this game to make some better fight mechanics and added PVP systems, they could make difficulty settings for those who prefer a challenge, they could make the navigation a little smoother. All of that aside, for what it is, a simple app with lots of heart to slowly discover, I'll say 7.5/10 TL:DR - The game is enjoyable, the way it is split up fits well, the energy system is great for the player and developers. The support staff are quick and reliable. There could be some improvements, but for a free game it has a lot to offer. It's not the content-lacking-greed-filled-cash-monster the other reviewers claim it to be..Version: 4.5.2

Good game, but FIX THE ENERGYHi. I really like this game. I currently have it on 2 devices on one I’m in Year 2, on the other I’m in Year 3. It has a great storyline, I’m always excited to see what will happen next, but there is one drawback, the ENERGY. I start playing and I can stay on the game for about two minutes before all my energy is gone. I even introduced this game to my friends but they all uninstalled it because the energy takes way too long to download. I think you should make the energy only about 1 minute per energy because at least 4 minutes of my life is wasted staring at the screen of my phone waiting for energy. And when I do buy energy with gems I only have enough for ten energy and that normally doesn’t even last ten seconds. I don’t want to waste my money on this game but sometimes I have thought about it because I’ve just gotten bored of waiting for more energy. Anyways enough about energy, I do really really like this game and I would’ve liked to have given it a five star rating but I just couldn’t because of this energy (and we’re back on energy). Overall I would recommend the game to others and I enjoy playing it. Hope you listen to my feedback..Version: 1.18.1

My whole opinion on the gameSo I had to re download cuz my Ipad uninstalled it but it’s so addictive! I chose gryffindor this time (i swear I’ve chosen every house on different devices) and chose a better kind of life by reasoning with people and being kind and I’m already in chapter 4! It took me months to reach chapter 5 with my old character and I’m already there with a few minutes of playing! I’ve tried reasoning with Merida a few times so I hope people won’t think I’m like My in-game brother and I love the know update in the great hall and you can go in first person I always wanted that feature and you can walk around in it! Thanks you really did it!!! I came back to this after months and it’s getting way better!! I think I was a 2019 starter so I am happy with getting back into the game for a bit! But the “waiting for talking to someone” takes so long :( and the watch add to speed up button won’t work!!! And the energy I used tp play it used to take me days to finish a task and it usually deleted the progress and sent me a notification that says :where are you? ____ is about the end! It really annoys me but I finished loads of tasks by when it offers u reward in tasks I press energy! Gems are basically so annoying I’m not allowed to buy them but so I have to use the not gems version and use the gems I get from the game itself :( thanks for listening guys!.Version: 4.4.0

We need an open world RPGKnow I have seen a lot of reviews for this game and they could probably explain it better but i will briefly summarise it its all out of line the pay to play with the gems and the energy system is pants and it’s just a weak and it’s just the Harry Potter story just recycled and you can barely do anything so with that summary/mini rant I am going to say what I think a lot of people can agree we need an open world RPG preferably on computer consoles and mobile devices and with knew technology like with Google’s new console were can play on any device so here is what I would like to see you can create your character explore a massive world like in assassins creed and you can create your own backstory make choices that effect you and others like in fallout and the elder scrolls and you could go on after Hogwarts it’s just some ideas but you can see how much more free and fresh it is and would be very accessible and I imagine massively successful so if J.K Rowling is still looking to make money then maybe this will make it rain but that is one humble girl’s opinion anyway I know it’s long but I know that people need to see this but I won’t keep you anymore and remember take it one day at time bye 👋🏻😉.Version: 1.17.1

Improved so much ❤️I have complained a lot about the energy but it has improved so much since I have and a lot of others have complained about it. So it doesn’t look like they are gonna take away energy 🙄 but they have improved it so much, it will now let you watch a add to get more energy which I love I have watched a lot of adds but that’s not a problem for me because I don’t want to pay money to buy energy and they are making money by me watching adds to get some (how I see it, it is a win-win) but there is a little problem it only lets you watch so many adds and then it doesn’t let you watch them anymore :( but that isn’t the main problem it takes 4 minutes for the energy to charge up to ONLY 1 which I think is ridiculous and so does many other people I think it should be 30 seconds for each energy to fill up and I think that would be way more efficient because not everybody has the time to wait four minutes for just one to fill up when you have a lesson that only has an hour to it and you can’t keep on checking back so a lot of times I will lose the lesson and have to start over and then I lose all my energy again doing that and then it just starts over so I never really get a lesson done so it would help if you reduce the time a little bit but other than that it’s is such a good game and the developers deserve some credit for how well this game is made ❤️😍.Version: 3.0.0

Almost thereThe story in this is great and it really feels like a Hogwarts story. Each character is just like you would expect them to be. The Dueling is interesting though it does feel more like luck than skill. Unfortunately there are quite a few issues. Like how the only minigame is the duels. It’s a little boring just tapping. Gobstones is a proper game, I would love to play wizards chess, or fly on a broom. They can be basic if you really need to, it is a mobile game. If you are having trouble then just look at the DS Harry Potter games, those minigames are perfect. And the conversation distraction challenge can still work as that can change how difficult it is to play. And the energy system just doesn’t work, it runs out in the wrong spots and smashes the immersion and the fun. There are other ways to put microtransactions into a game then energy. There are premium currency items already. This is good game it just needs more and for some the things that are there to be streamlined. I hope you can improve this game because not everyone has the patience to get through this and they would be missing out..Version: 1.5.3

Great game but.....This is a great game and I highly recommend it but there are a few things wrong with it. The first time you play it, it is really fun but then it just repeats everything and it only changes when you go up a year so it gets a bit boring. Also when you play it, you have to have energy to do everything and you can’t even finish a lesson without running out of energy so you have to wait for hours until you can carry on, but by then the lesson says you have run out of time and you have to start all over again. I would love it if you didn’t have to have energy and you could just play the game freely. The last thing is that nothing exciting happens like in the books, where loads of disasters happen every year and there is a whole battle with Voldemort and Harry is like a ‘survivor of Voldemort’. Other then that the game is good and actually looks like Hogwarts (I don’t know if Hogsmede looks as good, if there is a Hogsmede, as I am only in my second year). I hope you change these problems and maybe make the game a bit better with like a battle and stuff. It is still a good game though and I would kind of recommend it. 👍🥳.Version: 1.17.1

Omg!!!!!Omg!! I’m obsessed with Harry Potter and I’ve been waiting so long for this game it payed off I LOVE IT!!.Version: 1.1.5

Good Game- A couple of problemsI love the Harry Potter game! Getting to experience the magical wizarding world is truly amazing! However the game does have a few problems... One would be that the energy only goes up to 25. I find myself in the middle of important lessons not being able to finish them because I am out of energy. The game should give us more energy or let us buy energy with our coins, not gems. Second would be that no matter what decision you make, the story ends up being the same. You can not take your own path. Third would have to be that the game restricts certain areas of Hogwarts until you can get into a different year in Hogwarts. Fourth is that after you have completed all 7 years, there is nothing more to play. The game ends just there. I would have liked it to continue with choosing a new career in the wizarding world. Finally, fifth would be you have to complete 10 long chapters in order to move on into the next year. It should be at least five chapters. I think this is one of the reasons why the game does not continue afterwards- because they ran out of space to add anything else. Overall though, I do like the game because it takes you on many different adventures around Hogwarts. I do recommend this game, but please be aware of the consequences! Also just a side note: I recently got glasses in the game- and I realized everything you do, Rowan does as well. Different outfits, accessories, and even pets.🙄.Version: 1.15.1

I love this game, but…Ok, I really do love this game. The only problems I have with it are the energy, and the empathy/knowledge/courage. The energy only has around 25 for you to start with and it takes four minutes per energy. You have to do missions that require energy fairly often, and so whenever you have to wait four minutes for one, I think that it is an excessive amount. The empathy/knowledge/courage thing I also have a problem with. I think that it is a really cool concept that you can kind of make your character have a personality based on the things you choose. However, whenever you are doing a mission where you have to have a certain number of courage or knowledge or empathy otherwise you can’t beat the level, it gets really annoying. I am currently on a part where you have to talk Rowan into doing something with you, and my empathy is at a ten, but my courage and knowledge are both at eights. I physically can’t beat this even if I get every question correct. This is because I have to have at least a ten on each of the traits. I have no problem with the ads seeing as how they don’t come on too often. If you have read this long review, thank you very much!! I DO think that this is a good game, it’s just those two things. Thanks again for taking the time to read this. 😁😁😁.Version: 5.0.1

Review for Harry Potter: Hogwarts MysteryI like and enjoy playing this game, the graphics are smooth, you can dress your character up, it’s not laggy and doesn’t glitch, you can adopt magical creatures, and of course go on an actually interesting main adventure. However you have to wait a while between each task or lesson, and your energy also runs out very quickly, and to gain energy you have to wait four minutes to gain one piece of energy, and seeing you need energy to complete lessons and most of the other tasks & adventures, it can be kind of frustrating. Another small thing that could be improved is maybe the option for the player to choose what they say a bit more? Usually you can only choose your opinion once per conversation. All in all, it’s a really great game, but I think there should be another way to earn energy, other than collecting small bits around the castle or watching ads. Other than that, I highly recommend this game, everything else about it is definitely 5 stars—it just takes waiting!.Version: 4.7.0

Fantastic except 1 thingThis has to be the best game I have played in years. I love the storyline, but I love the fact that I can play alone, and not have to have friends or an alliance to do stuff with. The one downside to this game which has hit me in a major way this week is the dueling. I have had no problem being able to make my way through the dueling tournaments over the past 3 months, but I am a second year student with high ability scores because you can repeat your classes, which you need to do for the High Marks event. But now all I am getting is year 5 and 6 to duel which have spells out of my reach, and I am constantly being stunned and am not able to stun them. I will not hit the milestone for the new spell and will miss out on the books because of this. I guess they do not want to receive any more of my money, so I will stop spending on this game which I did fruitfully the past two months. I have no problem spending when things are fair and fun, but I should not be matched up against people 3 to 4 years above me all the time. The fun has just been taken out of the game on this part, and my daughter is starting to have the same thing, so there is even more money you will lose and she will quit before I do. Great job at that. Other than that with the books difficult to come by, is the only other issue. Great game otherwise..Version: 4.3.2

Waiting timeFirst off I’d like to say how much I do love this game. I’m currently half way through 5th year and am loving it. The additional pets, Make up options, and even the classes are sometimes fun (If not a bit repetitive). But I do have some issues with the game. 1st being the energy wait times that are sometimes unrealistic for the task. Some tasks for special events are 12 hours long and if I start them at 7 at night I’m only going to be maybe half way through it when I go to bed (and I’m not going to keep waking up in the middle of the night just to cheek on the game). But I’m not going to say anything more on the energy as I know that may people already review about that. 2nd just the wait time in general for the game to even load on my phone. I have opened the game just today and had to wait over 5 minutes for the game to even open and all that was on my screen was the Hogwarts logo. And before anyone says anything yes I did check my internet connection and it was fine. I also have an iPhone 8 Plus so there really shouldn’t be a problem with the game loading. 3rd I really do love the game I just wish the makers would actually solve some of these issues as they sometimes that can make the game not seem worth it anymore. Thank you for reading this. Please consider some of the rings stated in my review and others as I know that these issues have been stated many times..Version: 2.0.0

Great GameGood overall game,absolutely fantastic gripping storylines,could do with some new clothing items as these haven’t changed or increased since release,maybe special weekly clothing could spice that area up? And possibly even special weekly or monthly pets to aim for too! The main hog warts characters are awesome! And I love the quests! And quest activities,they really kept this interesting,awesome job devs! The thing that’s really bugging me is that the app repeatedly force closes every couple of minutes,most times I can’t even get through a single quest without it force closing me outta there,it’s becoming increasingly irritating and very frustrating as I have to repeatedly keep going over stuff I’ve already completed :( so I’ve deducted 1 star for this issue until fixed or uninstalled (which I’m hoping to avoid but as I said it’s getting increasingly irritating and frustrating,I’d be happy to provide deets if you want to look into this issue or point me in the right direction as to where I can make a big report if that helps). I’m kinda puzzled as to why it’s entitled Harry Potter as Harry Potter isn’t in this game,except for sporadic mentions,but that doesn’t detract from what a awesome game this is at all :).Version: 2.1.0

Gameplay overallI have been playing for awhile now it’s a pretty good game but the only minuses I would say is if you don’t have good Internet it loads slowly but it does work incredibly well and it takes a lot of time to get the energy to complete tasks the first few tasks are really easy to get but then the last few are really hard to get and you have to wait like hours but good game overall please fix how quickly you can get energy please love the game can’t wait for the new update maybe that’s why it didn’t load this morning.Version: 5.2.2

Good except for the energyThis game is sooo good, I love it so much but the one downside is the energy, it takes too long to refill, maybe after 5 min it could refill all of your energy, or just cut down the time it takes to refill one energy, because sometimes the lessons or special activities let you only have one hour so when your waiting for you energy to refill it takes about an hour so you can’t finish the lesson. I enjoy this game so much but the energy is getting on my nerves how fast it depletes and how long it takes to refill. I hope you can fix this in the future. 😁.Version: 1.10.1

Very addictive absolutely fabulous gameAfter having a few issues I pleasantly found that they do read your reviews and help you with any issues you may be having this impressed me a lot as I hadn’t been having a lot of success with customer support. Come to find out that most of the issues are with iTunes and not them and one I thought I didn’t receive an outfit from a quest which at first I didn’t but didn’t realize they had promptly fixed it as the outfit looked quite different from the picture haha. There was one last issue where because of a glitch they had to stop the quest and redo it later once fixed losing all the gems I had spent. After contacting them they gave me only half of the gems I spent back. Decided to just let it go. Love this app and am very addicted to it I just can’t seem to stop playing it. It actually makes you feel part of the Hogswarth world. Other than having to wait 4mins for 1 energy or approx. 90 mins to fill your health or buy gems which are very expensive.I myself have spent hundreds of dollars on the gems. A the game is totally free though so this really is optional and there are opportunities throughout the game to earn the gems. Would be much better if energy time was cut in time. Also definitely needs work on the female clothing they are quite hideous haha although you can get the opportunity to win some gorgeous outfits during the house pride events and such. You can buy some with gems but I find too pricey and would rather use mine on pets and energy which is expensive enough. I love the side quests which prolongs each chapter (especially when you are waiting for the new chapter releases) and you often get some cool rewards for it. The magizoology is an absolute brilliant idea you earn different types of books and once you have enough you get to adopt and take care of many amazing creatures. It’s like a game inside a game. To earn books you just play the certain events like for example house pride and eventually you will earn enough. Since they are constantly running these events you can easily achieve the books needed to adopt the creature you want just be patient hehe although there are bugs and things that need to be worked out I do think we all have to remind ourselves myself included haha it is Beta and they are still working out the kinks and getting feedback to help make it better yet. I think they have done an amazing job so far and am quite impressed at what they have done here. I have never seen anything like it. It is like reading a good book where you visualize yourself in the book with them only in this game you can really feel like you are. The graphics and interactions are absolutely amazing. If you haven’t tried this game you must or you’ll be missing out on a unique expirence you can’t find anywhere else. I am excited to see what other movies you will be developing I heard next is “frozen” not sure if it’s just a thought right now or in the works but I am a big kid at heart and would love it hehe. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to creating such an amazing game and for hearing and responding to your fans it means a lot to us to be heard 💕💕💕.Version: 1.13.1

Amazing Game! Needs a Few Improvements...Overall, This game is amazing! I love the details in the characters and how you can customise them to your content. I would totally recommend this to anyone who’s looking for something interesting to play. Even though I’m not negative towards the game it needs a couple of improvements. The first one is maybe instead of getting to pick your own Hogwarts house, you could complete a short quiz. Now, it doesn’t have to be elaborate, but just one where they can just find out which house suits them best. The second improvement is the energy, I have heard a lot of complaints about the time length for one energy. I would recommend you shorten the time length and extend the maximum limit you can have to approximately 40. Then users can fully enjoy their time on the app without having to wait so much time until their energy is full. This is so that users don’t spend their time on another game and get detached. To be honest, this game is spectacular! Like I said the characters are so creative, and I love how it is just based of the original Harry Potter story which so many people know. Thanks for reading my response and I hope you take my feed back well. 👍😁.Version: 2.8.1

My thoughts on the gameIt is a fun game I’ll give you that, the missions are fun there are great animals and it’s cool learning the spells, however, it takes me so long to save up enough energy to complete a task that I contemplate deleting the app to save myself some torture. But what other game will I play? Maybe take a leaf out of the book of some other games and reduce the time it takes to regain energy. Or maybe just create some bundles of energy you can buy for coins or gems instead of money. I understand you need to earn from this game and don’t want to resort to adds (I appreciate the fact that adds don’t pop up every five seconds) but if there were petty little purchases like ten energy for twenty pence or unlimited energy for a minute for fifty pence people might be more inclined to have those. As I said before though a great game I enjoy it loads and I hope there will be updates for months if not years to come. [small side note - I have not reached the end but am interested to see how it goes - my current thoughts are that you get to create a new character and redo the game with them, or maybe create a new character and there is a different storyline or maybe you carry on into the ministry of magic as a job or a teacher in hogwarts or something. I’m not sure, I’m hoping for incredible things!].Version: 2.7.1

Pretty GoodThis game was perfect for me because as I loved Harry Potter. The one advantage I have is that I usually play other games instead of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. This game is a waiting game which means I can wait by reading books and so on. The only reason I made it a 4 star is because you can only get coins from events or you have to buy them. The gobstones, the meals and the butter beer. They cost so much coins. Also a lot of people are complaining about waiting for a energy is so long so if you make it around 3min people will still sometimes have to use gems. I am in year 3 chapter nine and that’s when I discovered quidditch story. I have only been playing the quidditch and side quests and I still haven’t finished every one but my point is how you play quidditch. I think you should let your character control your team like fifa mobile where you can move your players and stuff. I hope you make this happen but it is still a very good game.Version: 2.7.1

My opinionThis is such a great game but, it takes way too long for your energy to refill, I think it should be one minute or so for each energy. Also when you finish a certain task you have to wait hours for the next task, it’s not fun waiting, especially if your bored and this app is the app your on 24/7. I love the idea of this, and the characters and everything. thirdly, I know that it would’ve been better if you made the gems and coins etc cheaper, people aren’t willing to spend lots of money for energy or coins you’ll waste. Fourthly, I don’t think there should be anything else to collect other than coins and gems, I’ve been trying to get to 30 notebooks so I can adopt the fairy for hagrid but it’s so hard to if there are no ways to get note books, I’m only on chapter 2, year 2 and I’ve been trying for some time. Otherwise this game is amazing, it’s fun to play if you have patience, and if you don’t. I love the tasks, and everything else. I’ve realized you haven’t replied to ANY of these, so please try and take our reviews into consideration, I know it’s hard, but we’re just trying to help..Version: 3.2.3

Review Must ReadFirst off great game, great quality of work. Details are amazing and gameplay is great. Every feature in the game stands out well and goes a long way. It is unique to have the questing for stars to receive clothing items as they disappear after a few days which make them unique and rare to in-game items. The creators should add more items instead of just the typical clothing items. Maybe add new hairstyles or scarfs and hats, things like that. The energy consistency works fine because I play this game consistency. There are some good updates I like such as the new pet update. This would be useful in the game. The dorm looks very plain, graphics look good but there should be an option to customize your dorm and the character looks sad, so it would be good to change their expressions. An idea would be to expand the friendships past level 10 so people can experience new things. I appreciate the story plots as they get interesting every time you progress to the next cursed vaults. One thing to mention, the gem items don’t give much bonus points after buying your clothes and gold gives a lot more, considering gems are harder to receive (once every year). Keep with the updates, and I am looking forward to continuing my progress with the game. I recommend the game very much, and spread the word to people. Edit: The 8 hour quests are a bit too long in my opinion, I would say 5 hours is plenty..Version: 1.7.3

Amazing but time consumingOkay so, last year, me, a clueless child who didn't know any better begged my mother to buy this. i had fun playing, but the story didn't have any flavour, and because of energy running out and school days, i could never finish the classes. but then i redownloaded it a couple days ago and i've LOVED it. i reset my character because i didn't want a female character anymore so i changed that, and the house Hufflepuff from Slytherin. I'm already on Year 1 Chapter 8, and yes, i have to wait 4 minutes for every energy to refill, but when i restarted the game, i was given 227 free energy! also i had quite a few gems and coins from my old game restored after Chapter 2, which i think is a cool feature, and also the memories , romance and clubs are cool new features. i actually have about 1800 coins at the moment and that's not even the most i've ever had. story wise, i'm currently stuck in the Brewing Sleeping Draught side quest with Penny Haywood (aka the love of my live lmao[i💛you penny]). Genuine good game but the energy can be a bit stressful sometimes so maybe if you could change the 4 minutes to 30 seconds/20 seconds minimum? thank you for reading, Yours Faithfully, Owen, a 13 year old Harry Potter fan.Version: 3.4.1

Great game, small improvement neededI am a huge harry potter fan (have been since the first time i read the first book as a kid), its very accurate and detailed, the game works well and is actually incredibly designed. Im surprised this is a free game to be honest! But the energy system could use some tweaks! Doing lessons with hour timers and only being able to do a few activities in that one lesson seems counterintuitive as i can only have a playtime of say 5 minutes at a time if im focused on the lessons (note: i have only been playing a couple hours so maybe the increase of energy fixes this). Also, i feel like just clicking around on highlighted blue things until a meter fills up or you use all your energy is kind of a boring way to do things, maybe adding an activity to do or even a slight animation could help (similar to tracing the line when casting a spell, maybe you could do something like stir the cauldron when making a potion for example) Anyway, im sure you dont really wanna listen to one fan with 0 experience in making a game! great game though, love it.Version: 1.4.0

So much fun, but has it’s drawbacksI really enjoy this game and have been playing it a ton since getting it. Having grown up reading the Harry Potter series I love being able to be apart of it in game form. Only things I wish is that the energy amount that you acquire was higher than it is. I find I go through it so quickly, right in the middle of lessons. I know it’s probably so that we either have to wait it out or buy more but still wanted to mention it. I also wish there was an option of buying gems or energy with the coins we earn in lessons. This game is very heavy in the micro transactions direction and thats it’s main drawback for me. Since it takes so long for your energy to replenish you’re put in a position to be more inclined to buy gems and use them for energy since storylines depend on finishing lessons so much. This adds up very quickly. I would think there could be a better middle ground for this. I also understand the developers have to make money but as a consumer I felt the need to bring it up. I rack up coins very quickly but would rather use them towards gems or energy rather than clothes. I also wish there were more options for creating your character. I hate to compare it to something else but for instance Bitmoji has added more hairstyles and colors since it first came out. Probably a bit harder for this since its animated but I wish there was a bit more variety. Otherwise love the game!.Version: 1.7.0

Fleeting prizesI really like playing this game, but it’s a little disappointing when I miss out on a timed event and lose the opportunity (forever?) to get clothing items. This has affected me a few times, again most recently. I spent the last full marks remaining first the whole time and in the last few hours (the task ended at roughly 4:30am for me) while I slept I was overtaken! I know this is the game’s way of trying to get me to buy and use gems to secure my victory and first place prize, but it was still disappointing to see that (as far as I know) I won’t ever have the opportunity to try to win the first place prize again. It was the only event so far that I’d actually already spent gems on to complete tiles, so I was pretty invested in getting the item and would gladly try again if it were to recirculate in the prizes of future events, but so far I’ve not seen any clothing prizes make a second round in the game. If these items came back in either a second round of events or as items you can buy for gems in the shop that would be really nice to see!.Version: 1.18.1

Wizards chess and PaperI love this game especially the friends where you can level up to level 10 by having a meal,some butterbear, or playing gobstones however I would love to see playing wizard chess added as not everyone plays gobstones meaning you can’t do all three with the same person if they don’t like gobstones an example of this would be Murphy. I would also like more paper places I don’t know if there is but I am only aware of one spot it could be in spots were students are holding a piece of parchment or paper and instead of them glowing it could be like the energy. Also I think the adventures that you buy with 300 paper should be lowered to 50 or 100 as I want pets and I’m sure a lot of people do but can’t do both because there’s only one paper a day as if it was lowere it would still be hard to do both but actually more possible I absolutely love this game and would recommend any Harry Potter fans getting this. Another thing is that I completely forgot about OWLS and NEWTS and I’m sure a lot of people did and would like to study for them as it would help be prepared. You could do this by adding whenever you do a study lesson you can pick a charm if your doing charms or potion if your doing a potions class of your choice to study as if you want to remember a spell it’s harder as it does random ones so if you could pick which one it could really help.Version: 3.7.1

Shame about the bugsI really like this game, but I can’t help getting frustrated by the connection error bug. Every other game/function on my phone works fine… my internet is high speed fibre, yet every 20 mins or so I get trapped in a loop of connection error. Not only is this frustrating but it also doesn’t stop the count down on your tasks. So if you are in a lesson, the time continues to count down, despite not being able to connect to the game. Having looked online for a fix, it seems this error has been going on for the last few years. Other than this, the game is fantastic and I’m honestly looking forward to continuing the story and adventure. The game developers have clearly put a lot of effort into the story line and the game itself. I would like to do things like play wizard chess, after getting gifted the wizard chess board. However, I can also see that new parts of the adventure are being added constantly, with different events and things throughout the month. I’m looking forward to seeing what else I will be able to do as I continue the journey… but please fix the connection bugs as it really does spoil the gaming experience when it’s happening..Version: 3.9.1

Tips and what NEEDS to be fixedEveryone said it was hard to get energy and I have a few tips. Firstly it is easier to get energy around the castle (every floor has 1-2 energy)at the start this doesn’t help much but eventually it does! Also the energy limit goes up. Someone just started the game has a 25 energy limit but I have a 34 energy limit (I am in year 4). Plus there’s things like gobstones. Certain friends give you energy, at first you don’t get much. (five energy) If you keep increasing your friendship (this is easier to do with charisma) then you get better rewards. And although pets are expensive and events are hard they actually give you energy. it’s better to do the storyline first because sometimes you have to collect things from classes and it is 5 energy per star. BUT I have found myself watching about ten videos to get 3 energy and with certain videos I just don’t get the energy. I watch the videos again and again with no reward. I find this really frustrating especially when I need to go somewhere..Version: 3.3.2

More time on questsI love this game, the attention to detail, graphics and all the adventures you can go on are amazing. Quidditch is so much fun as well, and I love all of the clubs. But I wish the timed quests were less frequent and more lenient. If you have any sort of a life at all or work in an office and can’t play the game for a day or so, it’s impossible to complete them in time and it does annoy me. Recently I had seconds to go on the timer, just completed the last task but failed the quest because the chatty bit at the end wasn’t completed in the time limit. This isn’t the first time I’ve been in this situation and I was so annoyed! And since starting 5th year it seems like these quests are non-stop! There is at least one every week. I can’t progress with the story because the quests are so frequent and I never manage to complete them in time so it feels like I’m just wasting my time. * also on an unrelated note, every time I duel I get a player who is level 1 on all stats. It is very boring and clearly some sort of glitch?*.Version: 4.3.1

AMAZING GAME AM OBSESSEDI love this game so much and i am obsessed with it. i love how you can do side quests and be on the quidditch team and it has a different story than the main one and it doesn’t change what happens in the main story. the only thing i would change about the game is the amount of time you have to wait to get energy. four minutes is a lot of time to wait for ONE energy. if you’re gonna make the wait time that long, at least make the amount of time you can do the class or whatever it is you’re doing at the time. or make it like “wait four minutes and get two energy” or whatever. another thing is the waiting time for tasks. i’ll wait eight hours to do a task and i’ll do that task in five minutes and then have to wait another eight hours to do the next task. i know it’s good so that you don’t finish the game in a day or something but you wouldn’t even be able to anyways cause you have to wait four minutes to get energy. i love this game so much and have read all the harry potter books so i love that this game is set before the time of harry potter and that you’re in charlie weasleys year, (I LOVE IT SO MUCH CAUSE CHARLIE IS A BOSS) and i also love how you can do whatever you want to do and i just love this game so much. i DEFINITELY recommend getting this game. you won’t waste your time getting this. (and it’s free so it’s even better). i love this game so much. thank you for making it. whoever made this: you’re my hero..Version: 4.4.0

PersonalisationI really like this game so far, but I find the player’s character rather bland. I think an awesome addition would be to add personality customisation, such as in the Sims, to give a bit more character and different layers to the avatar. At the minute, every other sentence appears to be “Yes, but is it something to do with the Cursed Vaults?” And it’s rather repetitive and same-y. I understand that’s how the story moves along but I really think something different is needed every once in a while, which is why I think personality attributes would be a great addition as a small digression from the storyline every now and again. Something like the Sims would be perfect, just some options like “animal lover” or “bookworm” so you can develop deeper relationships with people who like that as well, such as Charlie Weasley or Professor Kettleburn, if you like animals as well. Or have a longer “Meal With A Friend” with Penny and quiz each other if you love Potions. I just think the player’s avatar needs a lot more personality. I understand it’s difficult to please everyone and the pets were a great addition, but this is one of the next big things which I’ve heard many people complain about, and I think it should really be addressed. Thanks so much..Version: 1.7.0

Really good game, but 2 faultsHP:HM is a really good game and I love it. But there are 2 faults. Say you go to one of the classes, and your doing the set tasks it tells you and spending your energy to finish class, but when you run out of energy there are ADS you have to watch for 3+ energy and when you watch say 4+ ads then you can’t watch them anymore! So then you have to wait four minutes! To get only 1+ energy! So your just waisting all this time just to finish one class! The second one is that say you’ve finished a quest then you want to go on the other one you press the scroll on the side of your screen and look at the quests catalogue and is expecting to be able to go do the quest straight away, but instead it says you either have to spend 100 or less diamonds just to do this quest, but the second annoying option is you have to wait like 7 hours to do the quest! So annoying. And if you wanted more gems you can spend actual money on the game to get more gems, but also there is a little button on the bottom right with some sort of currency like pet food, coins and gems, and of course you have to watch an AD to get the currency on the front cover. So annoying. But I still do recommend this game to family and friends it is so fun I have just finished the first year! Highly recommend this game!.Version: 3.5.1

Great game but a little frustrating!I’ve been waiting for this game ever since I heard they were making a new Harry Potter game. It’s been a very long wait. The best Harry Potter game for the mobile, in my opinion, was and still is Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4, and unfortunately the updates stopped coming and the game is no longer available on the iPhone. Not happy! However, this new game came out. I’ve waited so long for this! It’s great to start with. You choose and customise your character and arrive at Diagon Alley. Your sorted into your chosen house and it goes on from there. You follow a dialogue, a mystery about your brother. You make friends, complete lessons, etc. But the only frustrating thing with this game is the energy source that you are constantly having to wait to refill. This takes 4 mins each time and you have to keep coming back every 30 mins to an hour so that you’ve got enough energy to complete your task. This is not far to loyal fans of Harry Potter and I think we’ve had to wait long enough for great HP game in Hogwarts. This game will take forever to finish and I’m not the kind of person who spends money on In-App purchases. I love the game but I feel like we’ve been robbed of something that could be so much greater!!! 😩😱😤🤔😡.Version: 1.5.3

Cooking, but the waiting time…First of all, I want to say this game is so beautiful, everything looks so cool and the way they move and everything happens is so awesome. It makes me so happy, it makes me feel like i’m really at Hogwarts. But a major flaw is the wait time is literally crazy, for example I’ll have to wait 8 hours for one quest, i finish that one in 5 minutes then i have to wait another 8 hours, so ridiculous. Another thing is the charging time for the lightening bolts take so long. It takes four minutes just to recharge one and that it takes me forever to get full, mostly if I’m not on the app. The timing is insane because it’s equivalent to a work or school day without me being able to do one quest is way too over stretched. I think it takes way too long, it needs to be reduced to maybe even four hours, but that’s still a lot in my opinion. I don’t understand the point of making us wait so long. It makes me wanna stop playing the game because at some point I just forget about it and I wanna play the game for more than five minutes at a time and then wait another 8 hours then i get to do another five minutes I mean it’s just too much waiting. I’m definitely not a fan of this and I really hope it gets to be improved. I love this game it makes me feel like I’m part of the Hogwarts castle I really love it a lot and I wish the time was just reduced, it feels unnecessary. I wish the BEST for this game and I 100% recommend it to harry potter fans!.Version: 4.7.4

You’re a Wizard Harry🪄♡I love the game! It’s fun to make your own Wizard Story♡And I love it! Now I just have a Few suggestions and Questions…When You’re running low on Energy you have to use the rest of it to Finish a task but when you try doing your task it says you have to give 1-5 Energy (At least I think…) and sometimes when I run low on energy,I have a small amount of energy left so when I click it it’ll say that It costs you like-For an example,It says you have to give about four energy and you have only four left and then when you give out the Energy you have zero now,So then let’s say that you still needed more to finish like a TON and you have Zero so you can’t finish so then you have to watch a whole bunch of Ads and then if it’s a bigger task to do you have to wait for LONGER. So what I am trying to say here is that we need to have a bigger energy bar and a Shorter timer for the energy bar…Like maybe the Energy should be at 100 Energy and Because Then people don’t get much game play because they ran out of energy so they have to wait longer and longer to play again… And it’s honestly not fair for us having to wait longer and longer to get more energy and lose energy in a short amount of time and those who do pay for more energy just lose the energy all over again and I don’t think that’s fair. But after all the game is amazing!♡.Version: 5.7.0

Please fix itIt is fun but it will not let me go to the dining hall at the end of year 1..Version: 3.2.3

Great Game But.....I’ve always loved Harry Potter! I read the books, seen the movies, and was fascinated with all the magic and the idea of going to a school for witches and wizards. I think this game does a great job of including people into that world with the accuracy of the characters and the story elements. However, there are things you should definitely try to improve and fix. I think the first one is the energy and the constant tapping on objects to fulfill tasks. In a way it reminds me of the sims mobile except it’s Harry Potter themed lol. But the energy tank is not enough and it is bothersome. It doesn’t make me want to play the game more it’s just this thing that gets in the way of the fun I’m having and almost ruins it. This is a story based game, and the energy issue gets in the way of enjoying the story. With the sims it’s ok because there is no story really. Your building something (the sims life) so it’s different. I could barely even finish one class without running out of energy. At least the sims gets you through a few events lol. And then the vigorous tapping isn’t as bad as the energy but finding a way to make things like the class activities to be more interactive would be cool. The last thing I’ll say is that I know this game is fairly new and hasn’t been out long. So there’s plenty of time to improve. The sims did it, for you it won’t be any difference. When these issues and little annoyances are fixed you’ll have a lot more people playing..Version: 2.1.0

A fun gameSo far, the storyline seems pretty interesting. I cannot wait to experience the full story to see how it plays out. Improvements do need to be made however. For one, I believe that to get the most out of these kinds of apps, we should ideally be able to get atleast around 10 minutes of playtime before needing to wait for energy to refill. At the moment, you can barely get 30-60 seconds in before you are out of energy, unless you completed a task and dialogue occurs to continue the story. I believe the biggest problem in this regard though is having to wait hours just for a task or quest to be available. It seems overkill having to wait hours for a quest to unlock when we are already constantly waiting for our energy to refill. I believe that waiting times on quests are completely unnecessary and should be removed. Another small thing I’d like to add, is how our character acts. I’d like to see more personality options added to our character in the future, as I would prefer my character not to jump around/dance/laugh whenever he achieves something, as I view my character as a more serious one than a light hearted one. Perhaps something to consider..Version: 1.5.3

Amazing! Just a few improvementsI totally LOOOOVE Harry Potter and therefore I love this game. I like how realistic it is and the element of mystery. I also like how it’s before Harry actually went to hog warts so you can meet some of his mentors when they were younger. I love the customisation and lessons and the pets you can get. I like duelling and the conversations and how you can play gobstones in the courtyard and eat a meal in the great hall with a friend of your choice. I really like the clothes and my friends. I haven’t got that far in the game; I’m just in like chapter five or something, but I can already tell I’m gonna be playing it for a very long time. There is one thing though; the energy points. I HATE having to waiting I don’t really want to spend money on gems so i can buy more energy, so I always end up playing some other game while I wait. Also it’s really annoying when I’m halfway through completing a lesson and then I run out of energy so I go do something else for a bit only to pick up my phone and discover that the lesson had ended and I have to do it all over again. I think a pint of energy should be charged every one minute or like thirty seconds so you can complete things quicker. I do like how you can pick up energy from random stuff in the corridors but I wish there were more [sources of energy]. Anyway I really enjoy this game, and definitely recommend it to all other gamers and potterheads.💖.Version: 1.12.0

I LOVE IT! But-So, People who are reading this please, PLEASE listen becuase I am a mega mega huge Harry Potter fan and if one of you out there is too, I really recommend this game! For a start, you can adopt really cute pets, like, who doesn’t like a puffskin?! And for second the adventures are really fun. Because i’m a HARRY POTTER fan I chose Gryffindor I’m quite far into the game and I have Bill Weasley as a friend now and I think soon I’ll be year three!!! I’ve adopted a few pets and I’m trying to adopt a dragon, the black horse thing, the hippogriff is definitely being adopted some time! So that will be fun, and I’ve unlocked quidditch I mean, quidditch is quite easy to play. And there is some bad things about this game, firstly there’s a thing called energy and you use it during classes and well, if you run out of it you have to wait 4 minutes to get 1 energy! Too long People! Too long!!!!! Please fix that or at least make it so you have to wait 1 minute to get 10 energy. I also don’t like how there isn’t an online server, and if you do make it so they have an online server please put a chat in too. That just about everything, oh and I do wish you could teach your pet tricks that would put nice, sorry if I’m asking too much. Btw (by the way), I have gone loop-the-loop crazy for this game!.Version: 2.9.1

The game could be so much better.Look. I understand the point of yall tryna make money. But then just make us pay for the game. I’ll gladly buy this if there was no energy. It makes the game unplayable because u have to wait for 30mins in game to play it because the timer runs out then it takes 3 min to gain 1 energy. Just make the game a paid for game instead of making us spend money multiple times to make the fame playable. I wouldn’t recommend buying this game AT ALL. Its not playable.Version: 3.6.1

Super fun!!The game is really fun and I really enjoy it!! The only parts I would change are the following 1. Make it easier to get gems and energy. For energy you might have full energy but when you go to do a task it drains super quickly and there are only like 2 videos you can watch before you have to buy all the energy. For gems you can watch like a 20 second video to get like 5 gems I think the reward for watching the video should be longer. 2 maybe we could go to diagon alley at the start of each year also it would be cool if the character could like have Christmas holidays and easter ones as well and we could have the option to visit the characters family and uncover more stuff. Maybe that could be part of the adventure/mystery. Other than that it’s really good definitely worth the download if your a Harry Potter fan like me!.Version: 3.6.0

Almost* Perfect 🧙🏻‍♀️This game deserves a five star rating just because the creators did such an amazing job at making Hogwarts, the entire app, look so amazing and on point with how the school actually looks. I was immediately addicted to this game as soon as I downloaded it months ago. I love that you can make your own custom witch/wizard. If you’re a Harry Potter fan, being able to choose your House is a big deal. The story starts and you’re hooked. I’ve read the negative reviews and most people just don’t want to pay for anything extra. That’s fine. This game does not require you to buy anything for you to be able to move forward. But if you love the game, want to buy some extra gems on a sale for some extra energy, then don’t feel guilty about spending $5-$20! It supports the game, helps bring updates faster, and helps the creators expand the game further. All for FREE! People need to stop complaining about getting an amazing game for free and that they don’t want to spend money or wait for the energy to refill. Just support the game! If you love it, support it! If it was a popular Xbox game, you would be spending $65, plus whatever the season pass was, PLUS a monthly fee to play online. I’d rather spend $20 on Harry Potter and hope they expand the game or make a second game. Our money really does help bring us amazing entertainment with this particular team. They’re awesome!.Version: 1.11.0

Energy 👎The reason I did not give this game 5 stars is because (if u have not guessed it already) energy. I really do not understand the point of waiting five minutes for one out of twenty five energy pieces. I don't want to delete the game because other wise it’s awesome. Here are some suggestions I came up with to make the game better without the creators losing money: Make something to buy that give u unlimited energy forever! Every time we have to wait for energy give us more then just 1 Make the wait faster (ex. 2 minutes not 5 minutes) PLEASE PLEASE consider this because I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I love the other great qualities of this game. ( please say this is helpful so creators will see).Version: 3.1.1

Please read this review! (IMPORTANT)Ok so this is for not just the developers but for other people too. First up, for people who want to get this, you should download it on a day where you have lots of things to do because it requires a lot of waiting and patience so I suggest you have other things to do before you get this. Now this is for the developers. I think it needs some improvements. Now I looked at all of the reviews and not one of them you had replied to, so please reply to this one. Firstly, I think that you shouldn’t have to wait so long for energy to restore I mean I had to wait so long and I get that you want to make people buy money in the game to get more energy so you can earn money and all, but I don’t know maybe give us more energy so it happens less often? Number two, my friend had the game and she said that it took her about 2 years to get to year 3! And I didn’t believe her so I got this myself and turns out, she was actually kinda right. It took me almost a year to get to the end of first grade! So what I’m saying is that you shouldn’t make it so hard that you ACTUALLY have to spend almost A WHOLE YEAR to get to another year. It’s not supposed to be exactly like real life if it was real. The whole point of the game is to have fun and do things that you normally couldn’t do in real life! So please I hope you take these ideas on board, and learn from them too in making new games. Kind regards, (to whom it may concern) Jwolf......Version: 2.9.2

Feedback+helpHello. I love most of this game! There are just a couple of things I don’t like. 1. The energy! Like all the other reviews, I think four minutes for one thing of energy is unreasonable. Maybe if you only needed one or two energy to complete tasks it would be fine, but seeing as most of the time you use up more than your max, you should lower the time to like two minutes, if not less. 2. My game keeps crashing! It will crash about every twenty minutes normally but at the moment, it keeps crashing as I try to go to the end of year feast. This means I can’t finish year one. This might just be my old phone though. I have an IPhone 6 if that helps. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I would have given five stars if it wasn’t for the energy since the crashing might just be my phone. It does this with other games too sometimes, just never in the same spot consistently..Version: 3.2.1

I love this game get it!I love this game it is so addicting and interesting. The only complaint I have is the energy. I've got to wait for ages for it to charge up. I would like it if you changed it to take 3 or 2 minutes to get one energy point. Otherwise I definitely recommend to get this game. You won't regret it. Also I love all the new things you added like the Hogwarts club and much more. I would have given this a 5 star but because of the energy I have got to give this a 4. Keep up the great work! :).Version: 3.7.1

Great idea - just needs some fine tuningI love the way this begins - and the story itself is something that I am enjoying so far. I’m up to my third year at Hogwarts (patiently waiting the new chapters), and honestly the energy isn’t a big deal; I greatly appreciate that they dropped the recharge timer from 5 mins down to 4 minutes - so that works a lot better in terms of fulfilling tasks & activities. The most noticeable things is mainly to do with the narrative, such as minor grammatical or misspelling errors & a few minor details that can be worked upon. In terms of micro-transactions, I played right up until the end of 2nd year without completing one, I only did purchase some gems because I was eager to learn more about the story & wanted to rush the wait for the next task at hand - so I don’t think micro transactions will be a huge impact unless you’re impatient. I’ve enjoyed the waiting aspect, it worked well when I’d start an 8 hour flying class on my way to work and by the time my first break would come around - I’d be able to jump back in with full energy to earn more stars! All in all - it’s be an enjoyable experience so far, and I can’t wait to complete years 3 to 7!.Version: 1.5.3

Love the game, but I have some suggestionsAs a hardcore Potterhead, I love how Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery puts you into the world of Harry Potter! I absolutely love all the options and how they are always adding new customization options. With lots of hair colors, hair styles, clothing options, and dorm customizations, you can make the story YOUR own journey in the Wizarding World. I have a few ideas for upcoming updates. If you are uninterested in my update ideas, you don’t need to read the next paragraph. :D As I said, I have some ideas for future updates. 1: Friends. I know that Hogwarts Mystery already has computer generated characters that you can befriend, but I think it would be fun if you could befriend real people to do certain missions and events with. Me and my sister love to play this game but we want to play together sometimes. Like, in game together. 2: Energy. I think that you shouldn’t have to wait a full 4 minutes for 1 point of energy. Maybe like 1 or 2 minutes for 1 energy. In my opinion, it’s kinda ridiculous to have to wait a whole 4 minutes for 1 point of energy. And another thing is I think if you choose for your character to say something to keep them out of trouble (like telling a friend that they shouldn’t go somewhere) you could just walk away. Although this might mess with the way the story is so maybe not. Thanks for reading! Sorry it was so long..Version: 3.5.2

Awesome, but..Ok so this game is amazing, it’s good for Harry Potter fans, and fun, but the reason I gave this a 4 star rating is because of two little reasons. 1: The energy. I’ve seen a lot of reviews complaining about this, and now I know why. 4 minutes?! That’s a little absurd. I’m just sitting on my couch waiting to get one energy, and I can’t even use it. Could you lower that down a little? Also, when I just can’t get anything done because of the energy, I need to wait 1 to 2 hours for the task thing to end. That gets annoying and I just exit the game and come back two hours later. That really gets annoying. I just want to play the game :/ 2: The gems. I can’t for the life of me get enough gems to buy anything. In the avatar store, you can buy things for coins, or for gems. I can’t, ever, get anything that I want from the store because all the things that I want, you need to have enough gems for. Also, when I get to finally earn gems, I only get like two or three. Anyway, that’s all from me, if you could fix the things I listed that would be great, but if not, I can deal with it. But for right now I’m going to keep this at 4 stars until you fix at least one of those things. Edit: So I’ve been playing this game more and I’ve noticed that you’ve added more events which get you more stuff, and I’m grateful for that. I’ll be changing this to a 5 star review. I absolutely LOVE this game, so great job..Version: 3.9.1

Great, but…I love the game but the constant app crashing is very frustrating. Constantly having to save after I do anything just in case it crashes and I don’t loose progress, is getting old. The carnival side quest is the worst, sometimes it gets stuck in a loading/crashing loop that you can’t get out of. I don’t have a problem with the energy system like some people as we get a lot of free bonuses and ways to earn more. I just want the crashing to get resolved 🤷🏼‍♀️. (I’ve done all of the help suggestions with no improvement, so it’s clearly a flaw in the game).Version: 5.7.0
