Setting[]

Ten years afterHarry Potter's legendary victory overLord Voldemort at theBattle of Hogwarts,^[7] ayoung Muggle-born receives an unexpected visit from agiant of a man by the name ofRubeus Hagrid, who has come to deliver their letter of acceptance to attendHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hagrid explains to them about the existence of thewizarding world and accompanies them toDiagon Alley where they purchase necessary supplies for theirfirst year. Upon arriving, however, a mystery begins to unfold on the grounds when one of the first years,Ivy Warrington, goes mysteriously missing after theSorting Ceremony. The player thus starts their numerous adventures at Hogwarts by finding Ivy first.

Gameplay[]

Overview[]

Players are able to customise their character, select theirHogwarts House, attendlessons, explore Hogwarts, and join theDuelling Club. The core ofMagic Awakened's gameplay is a digital-collectible card-basedRTS in whichspells are in the form of cards obtainable fromgacha spins. The game also features ballroom dancing styled byrhythm-action gameplay as well asQuidditch matches fashioned in interactive tap-to-dodge mechanics. House competitions have also been available inMagic Awakened. House rivalry matches were held twice a day, ranging from duels to group challenges. They can also brew potions which can help them in certain features like the Duelling orDance Clubs.

Decks[]

Every player has a Spellbook where their cards are kept once collected. The cards are collected in a variety of ways including completing daily tasks or taking part in events and features. In addition to gaining new cards, they will continue to collect the cards they already have so they can be upgraded. The Spellbook is also upgraded in strength whenever they level up a card. The player has to build their own deck by picking eight Magic cards and three Companion cards. Magic cards are categorised into Summons and Spells and have a Cost level. Companion cards can generally only be used once per duel or battle. The likelihood of the player collecting each individual card depends on their rarity level, ranging from Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary.

Their deck also has one Echo which is a character that provides a unique boost to their deck. These characters areHarry Potter,Rubeus Hagrid,Dobby,Hermione Granger,Fred andGeorge Weasley,Bellatrix Lestrange,Severus Snape,Newton Scamander,Luna Lovegood,Neville Longbottom,Minerva McGonagall,Ronald Weasley,Ginevra Weasley,Albus Dumbledore,Lord Voldemort,Cedric Diggory, andFilius Flitwick. In the Chinese version,Sirius Black is also available.

Features[]

Every day, there are four daily tasks which refresh every morning to be completed for rewards including coins, keys and cards. These are given by one of fourprofessors who rotate weekly. If every task for the week is completed, there is a reward of 100galleons to spend in-game. The taskgivers areProfessors McGonagall (True Transformation),Hagrid (Field Study),Slughorn (Potions Mastery),Flitwick (Like a Charm) andTrelawney (Sight Unseen). These daily tasks are centered around typical gameplay features like participating in dances and duelling or makingpotions. Time-limited tasks are also offered to the player and involve duelling or going to theForbidden Forest. They get two hours to complete it.

Magic Awakened has a Magic Pass which also provides an opportunity for the player to unlock more in-game rewards and resources. It is changed monthly. The Magic Pass has up to 50 levels which the player progresses through while they play. Completing daily tasks is the main way to earn Pass Points and level up. Rewards include gold, gems, costume coupons and cards. The player can also buy the Deluxe or Premium Magic Pass to gain more of these rewards and other benefits. The Premium Magic Pass increases the number of gold, keys and gems that can obtained in daily tasks and gameplay and instantly lets the player pass several levels without playing. It will also guarantee Legendary-or-above rarity Cards as rewards.

In theForbidden Forest, the player can explore solo in the Haunted Hollow or with a group in Team Explorations. These involve facing a challenge in which the player battles creatures or a Dark wizard. Haunted Hollow has levels and is played one level at a time. Team Explorations are played in a group of three, with the option of playing with companions likeDaniel Page andCassandra Vole or with other players. They can have up to six challenges in one adventure. The rewards to obtain here are often valuable. There are different types of Team Explorations. These are Off the Path, Deathly Dell or Into the Woods which has several themes including Gold or Echo. Every exploration has levels that get increasingly harder except for the Into the Woods (Gold). Echoes are collected Forbidden Forest rewards and are claimed through theFlying Ford Anglia in there.

The player can also join or create a Social Club to participate in the Club Adventure. During these adventures, they will fight various bosses, which are creatures and/or Dark wizards which have big health pools. Any damage the player and their teammates do to them will contribute to defeating the boss. Those that help defeat the boss will receive rewards. After several days, the whole process will reset. After each adventure, they will also receive Club Coins which are used to enhance the club's abilities.

Dance Club also enables the player to earn various rewards, such as discount coupons for cosmetics. Regular dances are the Waltz (First Encounter or Cloudtop Steps), Flight of the Thestrals, Tango (Puddifoot's Gaze or Deep Night), Funk (Magic Boogie) and Flamenco (A Long Journey Awaits or Pursuit & Ramble). These have five levels of difficulty unlocked by reaching their required rating through grading. They can dance with another player or companion character of their choosing. Every weekend, there is a special Dance Performance. In December 2023, there was a special Winter Ball Themed Dance forChristmas, called the Prelude to Christmas.

In the Shop, there are several things available for purchase including Bundles and monthly offers to get gems etc., while the Mystery Wheel provides random prizes. In the Magical Studies section, they can draw keys to get new cards. The keys for Basic Study and Advanced Study cards can be earned through game play.

Duelling Club[]

TheDuelling Club provides two types ofduelling. The player can take part in a solo duel (Top Wizard) against one other player or play in a duo (Best Partners) against two other players. The game also has special events from time to time with a different style of play. In every duel, the player is given an energy level of ten that is depleted each time they use a Magic card. Every Magic card has a Cost level ranging from two to seven. Whenever they use a card, the energy level increases every second until it gets back to ten.

If they win a duel, they gain a Points Reward in addition to others like coins or keys. The Duelling Club has nine Tier levels the player can climb up, from Novice to Hall of Fame. Players can also brew potions which can be used to help them in a duel, such as theDraught of Peace which prevents their Tier level being lowered if they lose.

Classes[]

There are seven classes for the player to attend. These include classes that students of Hogwarts do not attend until theirthird year but are available to the player before they reach their third year in the main story. On weekdays, only three or four of these classes are open. On the weekends, the player can attend every class. Classes can be attended with other players or a companion character. The classes are:

• History of Magic: involves answering ten questions within a time limit, usually about things that happened in theHarry Potter book series.

Changes to worldwide release[]

When the game was released worldwide, there were several notable changes to the story that was previously played in the earlier Chinese versions, with scenes being cut. These include:

• After the player is taken toDiagon Alley, Hagrid is going to fly the player home on hisflying motorbike. When it won't start, they take theLondon Underground instead.
• During her speech before theSorting Ceremony, McGonagall talks about a grumpyghoul having taken up residence in an empty classroom on the third floor. This line is omitted in the worldwide release.
• The player brews theHair-Raising Potion inProfessor Slughorn'sPotions class. In the worldwide release, they find Daniel trying to brew it on his own outside of class after they help him to get an ingredient in theForbidden Forest.
• Between classes, the player hears several students in a corridor talking aboutRon Weasley's defeat of atroll using nothing but the Levitation Charm in hisfirst year. When the students blockCassandra Vole's way to Potions class, she brusquely tells them to move. In the worldwide release, the student hears this during Charms instead.
• There is a Potions class whererat tails go missing. The student encounters anAcromantula while trying to retrieve them in theDungeons.
• Professor Trelawney invites the player to theDivination Classroom, where they discover a vibrating teakettle. Turns out the teakettle has anOccamy in it, and when Trelawney comes, she asks them to deliver it toHagrid.

Please help theHarry Potter Wiki by adding notes and/or references to bring the page to a higher standard of quality.

During the inital beta period before the official Chinese release in September 2021, there were several scenes or chapters that were cut. These are:

• InCharms class,Professor Flitwick lets the player, Ivy andCassandra practise theIncarcerous Spell together, but when Ivy tries it, Cassandra mutters acounter-spell that nullifies Ivy's spell, which causes Ivy to use the spell on her in retaliation. Flitwick deducts fiveHouse points for Ivy's behaviour, which Ivy thinks for sure she can win back by participating in club activities.
• InHagrid's Hut, the player andDaniel meetRobyn'segg, which Robyn claims to be from anEgyptiandragon. She decides to put it in hotwater to let it hatch, so they provide thefire to warm the water up. After a while, they sense something is wrong with the egg, and Daniel thinks he smells boiled egg. Hagrid arrives and informs them it is only anostrich egg. He remembers raisingNorberta and shows them a memory of it, which plays on top of acauldron after Hagrid pours in a vial ofmemory.
• When the player goes toPotions class, they surprisingly find two Daniels, and ask a question to identify the real Daniel. Then the other one reveals herself to be Ivy, and explains that she and Daniel have a bet over whether they will still recognise the real Daniel after she transforms, and if they don't, Daniel will have to teach her how to brew theHair-Raising Potion. It's unknown whether the player really recognises him or not, but Daniel decides to teach the both of them anyway.
• Kevin meets the player andRobyn in thelibrary and tells them about abook, which he thought was an ordinaryHistory of Magic book, but it seemed to be blank but alive and sucked him in, where he saw athree-headed dog and blacked out. When they go to retrieve the book, it leaps and shows itself to be blank. Kevin then recalls the three-headed dogFluffy in thethird-floor corridor, which was exactly where he blacked out. In the book, they assume the identity ofHarry Potter and relive his moments in the room with Fluffy and theChessboard Chamber.
• WhenDaniel finishes his test and comes out of the examination hall, he givesRobyn a vial ofPumpkin Juice, but Robyn thinks it isFelix Felicis, and she feels very confident and aces her test. Then the player goes in to finish their test.
• In theGreat Hall, the fourHouseghosts are gathering and having a conversation. When the player comes forward, they hear the ghosts talking about the winners of theHouse Cup.Headmistress McGonagall then steps forward and introduces the House Cup and the system ofHouse points. Robyn is excited about the House Cup and expects to win House points inQuidditch matches, which is met with ridicule fromCassandra. Nevertheless, whenSir Nicholas asks, she says she wants to become aChaser. They also confer ideas about the House Cup with Daniel,Ivy andLottie.
• The player meetsTom Stevens outside a bathroom withPeeves inside releasing water and singing. After making some efforts searching in the water-filled bathroom, they find Peeves and inform him that theBloody Baron is on his way, which scares Peeves away.
• The player has aFlying class withMadam Hooch, during which they are asked to fly through as many hoops drawn by her as possible.
• When the player seesFang outside ofHagrid's Hut, he seems to be in low spirits, and collapses after showing them some teeth. They notice some pink feathers in thepumpkin patch before someFwoopers fly out, which they quickly bring under control, realising that they were the reason Fang went frenzied.Hagrid thanks them and admits he hasn't got around to renew theSilencing Charm on them yet.
• Later beforeQuidditch practice, Robyn'sbroomstick goes missing. The player goes with Robyn to theGreat Hall and tries to use theSummoning Charm on Cassandra, theFrey twins, and even below the tables, but doesn't receive the broom. Kevin then comes in with her broom and explains to her that he was pruning it with his broomcare tools.
• The player, Daniel, Ivy andLottie helpHagrid get rid of theFlesh-Eating Slugs in hispumpkin patch using theFreezing Spell. They hear that Robyn was injured during Quidditch practice on a stormy day, so they pay her a visit. In theHospital Wing, Robyn retells seeing a pair of giant wings hidden behind the clouds before she was knocked out. In order to investigate, the player goes to theQuidditch pitch and talks to Hagrid, who thinks it may have been aThunderbird, but unlikely due to Thunderbirds being mostly inNorth America. A Thunderbird then shows up, allowing Hagrid to capture it.

Behind the scenes[]

The Harry Potter Wiki has 1,753 images related toHarry Potter: Magic Awakened.

• There are large portions of the game mechanics where characters such as students usemagic and resources in duels that cannot be seen ascanon, as they are often ones that they would either have no access to, or be incapable of using. For instance, to make the combat system more engaging, the game developers have depicted characters as young as first-year students usingUnforgivable Curses against their adversaries, a crime they would never have been allowed to get away with, let alone able to commit given the difficulty of said spells; as well as spells they wouldn't necessarily know about, such as the onesinvented bySeverus Snape (such asSectumsempra) and wasn't common knowledge for younger generations. There are also the option to summontrolls,centaurs and even professors such asHagrid to fight for you, the former of which would have been disinterested in following the instructions of a wizard in battle, let alone those of a child, and the latter being unlikely to combat groups of first-years at the behest of another first-year. The non-canonical state of some of these is even more obvious when multiple students summon the same individual to fight for them at the same time. There is also no known magic which would allow individuals to summon such individuals in a wizard's duel either. However, it is important to realise that this is simply a video game, which contains numerous elements which are not supposed to be considered canonical in any way, but simply exist to create enjoyment for the player.
  • Also, beginning in their first-year at Hogwarts, the player can attend lessons that students of Hogwarts do not have the chance to study until their third-year. These includeCare of Magical Creatures,Study of Ancient Runes andDivination. They also fly around on their own broomstick even though first-years do not have permission to bring one.
• This title was conflated as an early title for the gameHogwarts Legacy for which test footage was leaked in2018. The existence ofHogwarts Legacy was confirmed on16 September2020 through the PlayStation 5 Event.
