ABOUT THE GAME
Harry Potter: Magic Awakened is the first Collectible Card Game (CCG) that takes place in the wizarding world. As you progress, you’ll unlock exciting new spells and charms that can be used in duels with other players as well as various other adventures at Hogwarts. Each unique spell is represented by a card which is added to your collection of spells when found.
Play a Role
Harry Potter: Magic Awakened is also a Role Playing Game (RPG) that places you into the shoes of a new student attending Hogwarts ten years after the events of the Battle of Hogwarts. While the school itself may seem familiar, your journey is a unique one, with an exciting new narrative that unravels as you advance. Converse with familiar characters and new students alike as you uncover the mysteries of the game’s story all while attending classes and improving your aptitude for spellcasting.
Explore and Challenge Others
As a Massively Multiplayer Online game (MMO), you’ll encounter other witches and wizards who are also attending Hogwarts at the same time as you are. There are numerous activities to participate in with other players, from sharing a dormitory with your friends and navigating the Forbidden Forest as a team, to attending classes and twirling in the Dance Club. Most of the in-game activities available in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened can be done with others, so be sure to join up and experience as much as you can with friends new and old. As you advance, your spellbook will grow in power through natural progression and gameplay and eventually you’ll be able to build the perfect deck for every occasion. Do you opt for a highly aggressive deck that deals direct damage to your opponent? Or, do you build a deck filled with magical creatures that can aid you in combat? How you play and the wizard or witch that you become is entirely up to you.
Challenge the Unknown
Throughout your adventures, you’ll also be attending classes like Defense Against the Dark Arts and Creature Care which will provide you with further opportunities to work together with other players in order to hone your new abilities. Head into the Forbidden Forest alone or with friends to test out new spells and companions in your collection. The Forbidden Forest is home to all sorts of rare and dangerous creatures that don’t take kindly to trespassers. As you explore, difficult decisions will also be presented that can yield both surprising and disastrous results. Rewards for your bravery include new abilities that can only be found through exploration.

If competition is what you crave, Harry Potter: Magic Awakened has both 1v1, 2v2 , as well as special limited-time game modes. The Duelling Club is where you’ll face off against witches and wizards from around the world for a multitude of rewards. Duels task players with building a deck to compete against opponents in fast-paced wizard battles that are both highly tactical and visually visceral. Work together with your classmates and combine your cards to create some truly magical spell combinations.
