So for a little over a week I would say I've been playing the new Harry Potter: A Hogwarts Mystery game. And I think it's pretty fun. It's a lot of just clicking and going to different places at different times... but I think it's pretty fun and it is a good way to feel like you are a part of the Wizarding World and you get to know the Professors pretty well. So far, I like Flitwick and Snape is really pretty scary.
I'm guessing the story is the same for everyone... but you do get to choose your house... I chose Ravenclaw. Basically your character has a brother that got expelled from Hogwarts and vanished suddenly... many students saying that he went insane... and one girl even bullies you because of it... and you are trying to figure out what exactly happened to your brother, what sort of secrets are hidden at Hogwarts... plus you need to defend yourself and your friends from this bully... all while learning your regular subjects... it's quite a lot for an 11 year old!
That's at least where I'm at so far. I'm nearly finished with my first year at this point... I figured out something that was in a mysterious corridor and I have finished most of the lessons for my classes... but I'm not really sure about everything. I've been surprised so far- but things have been going kind of slow. I'm not sure if that's just how I'm playing the game or if it's just not the fastest moving game ever.
I think my favorite part of it is that it does really feel immersive. Even though the character isn't me and I'm just holding a phone to play the game... it does kind of make me feel like I'm a part of the wizarding world and it really makes me feel like I know these professors and characters that I've grown to love through several books.
So overall I've been loving this app a lot... it's just super fun and if you love Harry Potter and if you grew up loving Harry Potter... this will be a fun little app for you to try. I think it's definitely my favorite game that I've played in a while!
