Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery 12+

Glitches in the game and stingy with energy

I have the same complaint as everyone else in that, even at maxed out energy, you do not have enough energy to complete a task. Therefore, you have to wait four minutes for one energy. That amount of time is excessive to the point I wind up going to another game, or putting the iPad away and forgetting about it because I have to go to bed. I have made a purchase in the game. But, what I’ve noticed recently is that earned energy doesn’t show up in the total. For instance, I would have a full count of energy - 26/26 - but then, I would earn energy from watching a video or as rewards for completing tasks, and I would earn up to 3 energy, but the number never changed - it still showed 26/26. This has been going on for about two weeks now. Another thing that’s happening is when answering questions when having a meal with a friend in the great or or other places, I get the answer right but then get larger penalties that deduct what I just got for having answered correctly and then some. At the moment, I seem to be stuck in a never-ending loop of Flipendo. I’ve played it to completion several times, but then I’m just standing in the room with nothing to do and it never competes the task, it just tells me I have to finish and starts me all over again, which causes me to use up all my energy on the same task over and over again. Unfortunately for me, this game is becoming too frustrating to keep playing.

LOVE THIS GAME SM!!!

I am a year 2 right now so I’ve been playing for a good while and the game is really fun and it doesn’t really get boring because there’s always some thing you can do while you’re either waiting for your energy to get back up or waiting for the new quest to be available because there is times you have to wait to do it. but honestly, I don’t mind because if it didn’t have that I’d honestly be on this game all day and wouldn’t get anything done. Harry Potter is my favorite movies of all time and I like how this is a timeline before Harry, so it doesn’t really mess up with anything in the movies and books. and it has some interesting plots. and drama between some characters. truthfully, I’d say it’s pretty fun game and I recommend playing it. waiting for more energy is a little annoying especially when you’re in the middle of a class and have to wait to finish the class but it makes sense why they do it. and there’s ways to earn more energy like in gifts you sometimes get for doing different things. and I love how there’s different things you can also do to earn like clothing, items or energy and stuff. there’s a lot more that I could get into, but I won’t do that. i’ve never played any game that’s similar to the type of game this is for the amount of time I played this game. And I truthfully, really enjoy playing the game, and I definitely recommend playing it and I don’t plan on changing my rate of five star either. Thank you.

So fun!

Honestly, this game is great! I have always been a person who likes games that have a lot of plot and storyline, and this game definitely checks those boxes. Making your way through your years at hogwarts, you make friends and enemies, increase your magical knowledge, and stumble upon some secrets along the way.
The energy, however, can be frustrating at times. I never spend money on games, so sometimes it’s hard for me to complete classes or story parts. Also, once study sessions are introduced, the game gets a little frustrating. But, don’t worry! I struggled with that too because I was like “omg I hate these so much!” Because they really don’t do anything. But developers, can I just say how much better it is when you make the study sessions 6 stars instead of 9?! Even when you have multiple classes to complete, for me it just took a lot of irritation away. I would really appreciate it if you kept it as 6 stars for study sessions. It would be great, because progressing through the story is always so fun to me.

If you ever end up ditching the game because it is just too annoying with the energy and study sessions, I recommend going back in and giving it another try because I did that for multiple weeks but now it’s much more fun. You kind of just have to be patient and persevering at some points, but once you do, Hogwarts Mystery is a blast for people who really enjoy being in the wizarding world!
(Sorry for making this so long! 😅)
