For fans of the Harry Potter series, the number 7 holds a special significance, with the saga featuring 7 books and 7 intentional Horcruxes created by Voldemort. This magical number continues to play a key role as we celebrate the 7th anniversary of the immersive game, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, launched back in 2018. Far from being just another anniversary, this marks a milestone for a game that has allowed players to live out their own magical journey within the Wizarding World, including memorable moments like those awkward corridor encounters with Merula. After winning a Webby award for its Beyond Hogwarts expansion last year, the game is rolling out the red carpet for its 7th anniversary with an array of exciting rewards and events.
