Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Unleashes Magic for Mobile Games

Harry Potter fans have been waiting for our letter to arrive from Hogwarts, and now it finally has! The new mobile game app developed by Jam City, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, welcomes fans back to the famed Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry first-hand as students.

Experience the magic of the first mobile game where players create their own character with a customized avatar and experience life as a Hogwarts student.

The app is set in the 1980s where players progress as a student through Hogwarts, joining one of its four houses - Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Along the way, players learn an arsenal of magical skills, form relationships with other students, and master everything from Potions with Professor Severus Snape to Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall.

“There are so few moments where a mobile entertainment company has the chance to truly bring magic into the world and we’ve been thrilled by the amazing response our game has already received from Harry Potter fans everywhere,” said Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and CEO of Jam City. “We at Jam City have been working hard to ensure that any aspiring witch or wizard can enter Hogwarts through their smartphones and tablets and begin their magical journeys.”

As players unravel the Hogwarts mystery, they will explore familiar locations like Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. They'll also be introduced to original game characters like Penny, a popular Hufflepuff potions expert, Tulip, a rebellious Ravenclaw prankster, and Merula, a Slytherin with a dark past.

The experience of going to Hogwarts is especially enchanced with actors from the Harry Potter films providing voice-over work for their characters. A full list of the actors include: Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall) Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore) Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick) Sally Mortemore (Madam Irma Pince) Gemma Jones (Madam Pomfrey) Zoe Wanamaker (Madam Hooch).
