As a fresh-faced Witch or Wizard in this narrative RPG you'll get your Hogwarts letter and start your journey through school. While the game's set before Harry himself attends school, you'll likely run into some familiar faces as you attend classes, learn magic, make friends, and build your own legacy.

Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery gave us conflicting feelings when it first reared its head. Though I'm a HUGE Harry Potter nerd, and the game initially made me so excited I had to sit down, its first snippets of raw gameplay were a little concerning.

I'm totally down for a story-based RPG where I can interact with the screen to cast spells, meet characters, and show up those darn Slytherin bullies, but its free to play status worries me. If the F2P elements are balanced properly I'm sure it'll be great, but if the introduction of timers and depleting mana-like substances is too invasive it'll be a major turn-off.

I don't know about you, but I don't have the strength, dedication, or drive to check back several times a day to complete a part of a story.

Either way, check out the brand new trailer above and if you're an Android-user you can pre-register for the game right here to be the first to learn about the game's launch.
