The mobile game Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has announced Castle Chronicles, a temporary in-game event revealed on the game's official social channels. Players must prevent a disaster in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
According to Diário da Mídia, the event also reopens Time-Limited Side Quests, with exclusive rewards and items for players who completed the original versions. The story is set before Harry arrives at Hogwarts, so it does not change the main storyline of the books and films. Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore both appear, and members of the film cast voice characters in the game.
The game launched in 2018 from Jam City and has now been around for eight years. It is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases. The event appears in the game's events tab, and players need to update the app to access it. Start and end dates have not been published.
The news arrives ahead of HBO's live-action Harry Potter series, which is set to premiere on December 25, 2026, according to Wikipedia. Screen Rant also reported the Castle Chronicles announcement.
