All confirmed characters and locations in Harry Potter Magic Awakened

Harry Potter Magic Awakened, the latest licensed multiplayer Harry Potter game, was finally released worldwide in June 2023. It’s set in the Harry Potter universe ten years after the Second Wizarding War. The game was first launched in China in 2021 and soft-launched in additional regions, including Europe and the US, in May 2023. Co-published by NetEase and Warner Bros. Games, this Harry Potter title is now available internationally on Android and iOS.

The meat of the Harry Potter Magic Awakened gameplay is based on its deck-building RTS combat. However, numerous other activities and daily tasks make Harry Potter Magic Awakened much larger than the sum of its parts.

Locations and areas in Harry Potter Magic Awakened

In the tutorial, you will be guided through Diagon Alley as you learn the game’s core mechanics, one at a time. Not much goes off the beaten path due to how the tutorial is designed. However, you can return to Diagon Alley afterward and explore at your own pace. Exploration in Harry Potter Magic Awakened is available both on foot and on your magic broom in select areas.

Once you get your broomstick, you can fly around most of the overworld. The world in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened mostly comprises the main Hogwarts building and some areas surrounding it, including:

The Main building
The Tower
Hagrid’s Hut
Quidditch Grounds
The Social Club Wing (for guild interactions)

Moreover, other even-specific regions exist, such as the aforementioned nooks and crannies of Diagon Alley and the Forbidden Forest, your main source of farming Echoes. The PvP battles, on the other hand, are sequestered in a dingy arena inside Hogwarts.
