Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
Yes, there is a Harry Potter mobile game which took me by surprise but I suppose its kind of expected. This game doesn't follow the books and is a different story. You create a character of your own and he/she goes to Hogwarts. There is a story to your character as well that makes you somewhat special so its somewhat mimics Harry's story. The story goes through 6 years so I am somewhat interested to see how this turns out.
There isn't much gameplay happening in this game as you mostly just tap to proceed. You play through the main story, and there are side quests that pop up. The side quests unlocks spells and adds story to the side characters. You can explore the floors of the Hogwarts but most will be locked. When you do unlock a room you can go in whenever. The classes you can attend whenever as well so you can build up your traits: Courage, Empathy, and Knowledge. These traits help with your choices in the story. There are times where it will ask trivia which are somewhat easy to answer if you seen the movies at least. Getting them wrong doesn't seem to punish you.
Since this is a free mobile game, it does have the typical mobile game model. There's in game currency and gems that you pay real money for. These are mainly used to make things go faster. There is energy bar that replenishes over time, and cosmetic items to dress your character. You can also use gems to level up your friendships with your character's friends.
Overall, I don't think its a terrible game, but its not something I would recommend unless you got time and like the Harry Potter series. I will update this post when I finish the story
