The Harry Potter series consists of seven books, and Lord Voldemort deliberately created seven original Horcruxes. As any dedicated Potterhead knows, the number seven holds special significance throughout the wizarding world. This year marks the seventh anniversary of the mobile game Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery—so you can bet the celebrations are anything but ordinary.
Seven Years of Spells, Duels, and Detentions!
Since its launch in 2018, the game has allowed players to carve their own path in the magical universe—including those awkward hallway run-ins with Merula. After winning a Webby Award last year for its Beyond Hogwarts expansion, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is celebrating its seventh anniversary with a host of exciting rewards.
Let’s explore what’s in store for the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery 7th Anniversary event. First, there’s an Anniversary Sweepstakes running throughout April. Simply log in and check your in-game mailbox for a chance to win a Butterbeer and Mugs Gift Set, a Magnetic Bottle Opener, or a Harry Potter Mystery Box.
Three pairs of tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway are also up for grabs. Be sure to log in daily between April 25th and May 8th—it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
The Hogwarts Diary storyline has taken a mysterious turn. Strange disasters are befalling the castle, and rumors suggest the school’s founders may be responsible. This new chapter is now live, so grab your cloak and start investigating.
The Creature Reserve is also buzzing with activity. Two Horned Serpents have been spotted—an unusual sight, to say the least. Plus, a spiny, ocean-dwelling creature will soon be joining your magical menagerie.
