If you're a Potterhead, you know the significance of the number 7 in the Harry Potter universe—from the 7 books to Voldemort's 7 intentional horcruxes. Now, as we celebrate the 7th anniversary of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the game is rolling out a series of special events and rewards that are anything but generic.
Seven Years of Spells, Duels, and Detentions!
Since its launch in 2018, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has allowed players to craft their own unique stories within the Wizarding World, complete with memorable encounters like those with Merula. After earning a Webby award for its Beyond Hogwarts expansion last year, the game is now marking its 7th anniversary with a host of exciting rewards.
Let's dive into what's planned for the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery 7th anniversary celebration. Starting with the Anniversary Sweepstakes, which runs through April, players can log in and check their in-game postbox for a chance to win a Butterbeer and Mugs Gift Set, a Magnet Bottle Opener, and a Harry Potter Mystery Box.
For those eager for more, three pairs of tickets to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway are up for grabs. Begin logging in daily from April 25th through May 8th to enter the draw—it's an opportunity you won't want to miss.
The Hogwarts Diary storyline is taking a darker turn with mysterious disasters plaguing the castle, and whispers suggesting the school's founders might be involved. This intriguing plot is available to explore now, so don your detective hat and start investigating.
Over at the Creature Reserve, there's excitement brewing with the arrival of two Horned Serpents, a rare occurrence. Plus, a spiny, ocean-dwelling creature is set to join your collection soon, adding more variety to your magical menagerie.
