Just a little heads up: the mobile game Harry Potter fans had been waiting for is released today. Hogwarts Mystery is slowly trickling into the app store: here in the Netherlands it’s available right now.
Warner Bros’ new Portkey Games label brings us Hogwarts Mystery. In this game you don’t play as Harry himself. Instead, the game is set prior to the arrival of Harry himself at the school, somewhere during between Harry’s birth and Hogwarts first year.
That means you’ll be attending school alongside Nymphadora Tonks and Bill Weasley, and get to meet professors such as Snape, McGonagall and groundskeeper Hagrid. Aside from learning how to cast a number of spells in the classes you know from Harry Potters books, and uncover the myriad mysteries of Hogwarts.
My daughter was wondering back then, when we heard of the rumor about the game, if the sorting hat would appoint her to a house: well, it doesn’t. You can choose for yourself which house you want to belong to. I guess the Griffoendor’s common room will be busy!
I have a friend who is dying to play this one. She’ll be happy!
My daughter checked the app store every few minutes until she hit the jackpot, lol
