Reviews for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

With the recent updates, the game has become unplayable. You'll work on a mission, use your energy, and come back a half hour later to find that none of your progress saved you have to restart. I've spent days trying to get past 1 story, I get enough stars to pass, only need 3 of 5 to pass, and when i come back after the timer is up for that mission, it says I failed and didnt get enough stars and shows that i only collected one. Its literally back kicking to restart the video part of the story

great story, interface, and gameplay. but its hard to get into past the 2nd year because it takes so long for everything. bring back 1hr unlimited energy once in awhile. allow people to play fully. have more energy win options more than just 10 here and there.. its just hard to play longer than a few minutes at a time and get into. been playing since the game first came out and I always stop at year 4.

Anyone rating this game more than 2-3 stars is lying, a bot, or paying to play 🤢 Another money hungry game where progress is hidden behind a paywall. When you start, the energy you have is enough to complete a task. As you progress, your energy becomes worth less and less until having MORE THAN FULL energy cannot even get you to 3 stars on a single task. If I can't play the game, what's the point in having it?

Every time I want to play, I feel like I spend as much time closing out of pop up boxes and transaction offers (sometimes the same one multiple times), as I do actually playing the game, several boxes at a time. The initial loading screen is probably as long as it is to load up all the spam I gotta close out of just to do anything, and then as soon as I do a task, more of the same ones pop up, and it probably contributes to the insane, and I mean insane lag this game has! it's so annoying!

I love this game, but there are issues, for example I was trying to do a task for a timed side quest and had to start the same task over several times over 2 days because of that I didn't complete the side quest and lost the reward. I try to be in the dormitory when I log out hoping that it won't restart something I already finished but it doesn't work all the time.

Had to change my rating because the Tapjoy "opportunity" to receive gems for completing offers needs to be taken down. If you're not going to award people for their hard work completing the offers in a certain limited time than it doesn't need to be offered. This has happened twice on two different offer games. I was getting the awards at first than it always stops. Reached out to both and got no response just redirected. Probably because your not spending enough money.

The game is interesting and can be fun. The items to speed up cost way too much the energy runs out quick. To complete tasks in time is almost impossible if you have a life because wait times are ridiculous on energy. They need to make things cheaper to have more fun. Yeah, the game can be completed for free but you're not getting anything special because their system of energy and game time is ridiculous. Don't plan on getting anything special out of this game unless you're willing to spend $$$

This is a great game but in order to nake any progress, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money. My max energy is 27, but it takes about 5 minutes to regenerate 1 energy. And most of the tasks require way more than the 27 you can store without buying energy with money. I can see wanting to masked money, it is a business. But as much as they are trying to make as fast as they are trying to make it, I took off 2 stars just for the waiting time for energy to build up.

Visually, it looks really good, but the energy system is awful. Quests uses a lot of energy, but the maximum amount is only 25 and takes about an hour to fully charge. Worst part? The quests are TIMED. If you don't complete it in time, the progress RESTARTS FROM ZERO. So if you miss even an hour from spending your energy, don't even bother trying to complete the quest. And even if you manage to complete it, get ready to face MORE HOURS OF WAITING to just start the next quest.

I recently picked this game up again when my son was in the hospital. I really enjoy it. However, the newest update they did ruined a few things. The ads to collect more points/gems/coins and such seems to be broken. Ads don't load and glitch out and make the game freeze, so you have to close and restart it. It is extremely annoying. I am still playing but the fact that I can add a few extra points every now and then is a bit bothersome. Everything was working just fine before this update.

I really like the game. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is, because the constant issue with logging in. 80% of the time, it won't register my existing profile. I can spend anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours trying to login. It constantly makes me miss timed events due to this issue. I do exactly as they instruct of going into settings and clearing cache. Honestly it makes me not want to play sometimes and uninstall the app, but I don't because I really enjoy the game when I can get in.

I love playing this game. It has really good timing so I can get stuff done in game, leave and comeback. I don't have to use money to get through the game which is always a bonus. It's easy to play with a fun plot. Edit: After playing another 2 years or so it's still fun however I feel that some of the side games have become more difficult to complete without spending some money. I still play as much as I used to. I could complete the side games most of the time but now almost never if at all.

The game is really fun but I'm tired of games rewarding actions with coins that we can't use the buy important things for the game like in this case it would be great to be able to buy animals, energy or gems with coins instead of trying to make us waste our own money to buy them so we can complete a task or story.. And sometimes the energy needed to complete a task is wild. All I'm saying, it the game would be more fun if I could go at my own pace and get what I need with coins.

Still no gem screen.2025 Where did the screen for earning more gems go? Wanted to check to see how much time I had left on my current, but it's gone. Hopefully my progress isn't lost... Edit: still gone. 😕 It was a big one, too. My friend still has it, so I know it's not everyone. Loosing a star for this because I can't afford to constantly buy gems, and this was a great way. Also because I suddenly can't connect to Wi-Fi at work, and I can with other games, so my works Wi-Fi isn't the problem.

It's a decent game, learning spells, making friends, tending to animals, the lore it brings... What I don't like from the game is how the energy and rewards system work. You'll be in a lesson that has a 3 hour time limit and it takes 4 minutes for 1 energy to charge.... People don't want to wait that long for it to charge, it just boring.

I love this game, however here lately it kicks you out and doesn't save progress and as a bonus it doesn't give you back your energy used, also the side quests take a ridiculous amount of energy and that's most of the game. it seems more of a "pay me" game then it's worth for the hassles of it constantly closing and restarting on you is worth. But if you have the time to just keep going back into it every 4 minutes for 1 energy refill to try to beat the timer it's amazing

4-28-25 i wish there was an option to purchase more food to feed animals in the reserve if you haven't unlocked the reserve garden yet. you have options to buy extra coins, energy & diamonds. 6/11/20 One thing that could make this game better is having a way to see how many points you need in order to level up for both your game level& magizoology. Currently all is there a bar that fills up. It be nice to know more precisely like how its done for the courage, empathy and knowledge attributes.

I used to love this game, but all the glitches, not saving even when you manually save, missing items and beyond cheap way they reimburse if you can call it reimburse when they do... It has some good points, but you will have to spend to fully enjoy the game, and it is bad enough they make the games, so you have to pay to play but then to not even reimburse you properly and make up for what you missed out on do to the glitches... It is a bit much.

this app is interesting....It does allow you to make your own choices whilst you're learning at Hogwarts. the downside is that you have a time limit for certain events/during your classes, and limited actions/energy and sometimes you have to wait for your energy to recharge during that time limit--which might make you fail, it's annoying. I wish you could, perhaps, expand your maximum energy

I really like it. However, it takes time to get enough energy. And if you wait too long, it runs out. Before you finish! It also freezes occasionally, and I have to start over. From the beginning! It takes time to gain gems or books 📚 But it is fun to play to bide time. I wish I could earn more animal food though. Also there is not a lot of time. sometimes to complete. A class or adventure:( Constant updates! Still fun to play need to fix kinks though.
