Back in December we learnt that, as well as the AR game Wizards Unite, Portkey Games had an RPG on the way to mobile. Hogwarts Mystery is supposed to give you your own wizarding experience as you work through seven years of Hogwarts, simultaneously searching for your missing brother.
You'll make friends, stand up to your enemies, learn spells, encounter some familiar faces, and hopefully become the witch or wizard you've always wanted to be.

Of course, fans have been rather divided on the topic. The idea of a Harry Potter RPG on mobile is seriously exciting, but its free to play status doesn't particularly leave gamers too hopeful.

We chatted about the game back when it was first announced, asking whether we even needed two Potter games on mobile. Harry Slater also wrote up a wonderfully satirical article that - er - not everyone will get.

And, just for fun, we designed our very own Hogwarts House quiz. Where will your mobile game preferences land you?
