Year 1 Chapter 2
Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery
Hello everyone, it’s time to start Chapter Two of Year One of our Magical Journey Walkthrough for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous Chapter, we created our protagonist and got some essential items for our first Year in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We also befriended a cheerful individual named Rowan Khanna, who is also accepted into Hogwarts as a first-year student.
When this Chapter begins, you’ll find yourself in the Hogwarts Express, heading to school.
[Disclaimer: Walkthrough for this chapter has been updated on September 2021]
Your first task is to attend the Sorting Ceremony in the Great Hall. Once you get there, Professor McGonagall will hold a speech and tell you a bit about the four Houses of Hogwarts. You’ll then get called out to be sorted. Tap on whichever House you would want to end up in. However, be warned that this is a permanent choice and it will impact several aspects of the game and some of the side quests as well.
Whichever House you choose you’ll notice that Rowan is also sorted into that House. This is a nice thing since you’ll need a friend to help you with your future adventures.
After the sorting ceremony is over, Professor Dumbledore will hold a speech to welcome all students to another Year at Hogwarts. He’ll also mention that Harry Potter is safe and will explain how the House Points work.
Your next task is to visit your Common Room. Tapping on the GO button will instantly send you right outside of it. This will also work for most of the quests/tasks, so it can be of great use when traveling around Hogwarts.
Once you are there, you’ll see Rowan and several other students, relaxing in the friendly environment. After a short conversation with him, he’ll ask what are you most looking forward to. You have three choices to respond with.
After this, it’s time to attend your first class of the year. Tap on the GO button and proceed to the Charms Classroom. You’ll be greeted by Professor Flitwick – Charms Professor and Head of the Ravenclaw House. You’ll find out that he knew your brother well and that Jacob was one of the most gifted students he had, but also one of the most troublesome ones. He’ll want to know if you plan on following the rules, so you have three options to respond with.
Afterward, the class will start. The professor will explain several important things about today’s lesson – the Wand-Lighting Charm, also known as Lumos. Now you’ll get to know how the lessons system works. Each one you attend will have a duration during which you need to complete it. You will need to earn a certain amount of stars to pass and in order to do so, you need to complete the actions to fill up the Star Meter. You can do it by tapping on the glowing objects and spending energy in the process.
For this particular lesson, you need to earn two stars within one hour. Just complete the actions by tapping on glowing objects and you will be done in no time. When you earn two stars, you’ll be required to cast the spell. You can do so by tracing the path in the screen.
With this, you’ll pass the lesson. Professor Flitwick will praise your performance and award you with ten House Points!
Next is the Potions lesson. After collecting your reward, tap on the GO button again to proceed to the Potions Classroom. Once you get there, you’ll see Rowan having an argument with another first-year student in front of the classroom. The one in question is Merula Snyde, first-year Slytherin student with a very grumpy attitude. After hearing their argument, you can choose how to react – you can either Stand up to her or Distract her.
Depending on your choice, you will gain a certain amount of attribute points. There are three Attributes in the game: Courage, Empathy, and Knowledge. Raising any of those can open up some additional dialogue options later in the game.
After some discussion about your brother, you have another set of options to respond with. Each of the options will award you with some attribute points, so pick the one you find the most suitable for your protagonist.
After a while, Professor Snape will show up and he’ll send all of you to the classroom. Proceed to the class and tap on the exclamation mark to start the lesson. This one will require you to earn two Stars within one hour in order to pass. After a brief introduction, the lesson will begin.
Same as before during Charms class, complete actions by tapping on various glowing objects to fill up the Star Meter. After earning each star, you’ll be given a mini-task. If you successfully complete it, you’ll be rewarded with some attribute points.
When you earn the second star, trace the path on the screen to complete your potion.
Afterward, hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. It all seems fine at the start, but you’ll realize that something is wrong and your cauldron will explode. This will anger Professor Snape and he’ll take ten points from your House. He’ll ask if you have something to say to your defense and you’ll be given three different options. You’ll notice that two of those options require level two in Knowledge and Courage attributes respectively. Each of those will reward you with some attribute points, so go with the option you find the most suitable for your character’s personality.
After a bit more talking, you’ll find out it was Merula who sabotaged your cauldron, so you should be mindful of her in the future.
And this is the end of Chapter Two of Year One of our Magical Journey through Hogwarts Mystery. Hopefully, you found it helpful and enjoyable to read.
