If you're a Potterhead, you know that the number 7 holds a special significance in the world of Harry Potter, from the 7 books in the series to the 7 original horcruxes created by Voldemort. It's fitting then, that Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the mobile game, is celebrating its 7th anniversary this year, and it's 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 journey in the Wizarding World, complete with memorable encounters like those with Merula in the corridors. After receiving a Webby award last year for its Beyond Hogwarts expansion, the game is now celebrating 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. From now through April, there's an Anniversary Sweepstakes where you can log in and check your in-game postbox for a chance to win a Butterbeer and Mugs Gift Set, a Magnet Bottle Opener, and a Harry Potter Mystery Box.
Additionally, three pairs of tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway are up for grabs. Make sure to log in daily from April 25th through May 8th for a chance to win.
The Hogwarts Diary storyline has taken a spooky turn with strange disasters plaguing the castle. Rumors are circulating that the school founders might be involved, and you can start investigating this mystery right away.
In the Creature Reserve, things are getting interesting with the arrival of two Horned Serpents, which is quite unusual. Plus, a new spiny, ocean-dwelling creature is set to join your collection soon.

Are You a Weasley Lover?
The Flight of the Weasleys Special Adventure is returning on April 23rd. To participate, opt in through the in-game message by April 21st. This is your chance to spend time with the wonderfully chaotic Weasley family.
Also, mark your calendar for May 2nd, as logging in on Harry Potter Day will grant you a special in-game reward. Look forward to new outfits, quests, and a lineup of returning events. Don't miss out on the festivities—download the game from the Google Play Store and join the celebration.
