Harry Potter game announces free event and bonus downloads

Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells is taking fans on a trip down memory lane with a new event, and it’s perfect for Hogwarts Legacy fans.

In case you don’t know what it is, Harry Potter: Puzzle & Spells is a free puzzle game where you match coloured tiles to rack up points, cast spells, and unlock some cool in-game rewards and prizes.

Check out Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions below.

The latest event for the game, Secret Scenes, will let players complete a level as normal, but while they’re gaining points, they’ll also have the opportunity to unlock a magnifying glass that reveals a piece from a picture. The pictures are all inspired by the world of Harry Potter, including some of its best-known events, locations, and characters.

It’s a great bit of side content if you’re a fan of Hogwarts Legacy too, as it’ll likely feature some of the well-known locations hidden in The School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, most of which can be visited in-game.

That’s not all though, Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells also has two special events that are perfect for the spooky season, Halloween at Hogwarts and a Dark Arts event. These events are currently ongoing and bring a Halloween theme to the game, as well as interactions with some of Hogwarts' creepiest residents, like Nearly Headless Nick.

These events will also net you some cool rewards for completing various levels and challenges, one of which being a collectable creature called a Moon Calf, which dedicated players won’t want to miss out on.

Hogwarts Legacy also gets some Halloween seasonal content, but it’s not tied to the real-life event. It’s only when you progress far enough into the game, with the same being said for Christmas.

If you’re not into mobile games and are like many patiently waiting for another Harry Potter game on console, you might have a long wait. Hogwarts Legacy 2 is basically confirmed to be in development but doesn’t have a release window at the moment.

Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells can be downloaded on mobile devices and PC.
