Chapter 2

Hello everyone, it’s time for Chapter Two of Year Four of our Magical Journey Walkthrough for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous chapter, you came back to Hogwarts after the summer holidays. During the welcoming ceremony, Professor Dumbledore introduced the world renown curse-breaker, Patricia Rakepick. She will help with the whole cursed-vaults situation, and she made it very clear that none of the students should interfere with her investigation. After the welcoming speech, Hagrid asked you to meet him in the courtyard where you found out that Tulip wandered off into the Forbidden Forest while sleepwalking. As it turned up, she wasn’t the only student to do such a thing. Apparently, someone tampered with another Cursed Vault and unleashed the sleepwalking curse.

Now, to start things off, you can do the lessons part of the chapter first. Head to the Charms Classroom for your first class.

Unlocking Bombarda Lesson requires you to obtain a total of six stars from Charms Class. This can be accomplished in several different ways. The fastest one involves doing three of the one-hour classes, but this method is the least rewarding one, so if you are looking to earn some additional attribute or house points, you might want to consider doing a different class combination. Either way, once you decide which class to take, hit the Start button to begin.

As for these classes, follow the usual pattern – complete actions by tapping on the highlighted objects. This will fill up the star meter and eventually, you’ll earn stars. Prioritize the actions with the higher cost since this will fill up more of the star meter per energy point spent and thus optimize your energy usage.

After earning each star, you will be given a mini-task. Completing it successfully will award you with ten Empathy points.

When you are done, hit the Collect button to continue.

Now that the Bombarda lesson has been unlocked, you can proceed back to the Charms Classroom to attend it. In order to learn this one, you have to earn five stars within three hours. Because all of the stars are required to pass, you don’t want to start this lesson with an empty energy bar.

Approach this lesson in the same way as the classes you had beforehand and you should be fine.

When you earn the fifth star, you will be tasked with casting Bombarda. Trace the wand movement on the screen to cast the spell.

Congratulations! Now that you learned this spell, you can use it in the future duels. It is usable in defensive stance and it deals five points of base damage, scaling with your Courage attribute. In addition, it has a chance to cause a large damage over time effect and also a chance to stun the opponent for one round.

For your next lesson, you should go to the Potions Classroom.

To unlock the Calming Draught Lesson, you need to earn a total of six stars from the Potions Class. Like with the Charms Class, you can select the combination of classes that suits you best.

As for these classes, focus on doing the high-cost actions to save some energy.

Also, try to complete mini-tasks successfully in order to gain some additional Knowledge points.

After you collect all six stars, the Calming Draught lesson will be unlocked. Proceed back to the Potions Classroom to attend it.

Completing this lesson requires you to earn five stars within three hours. Make sure to have at least twenty or so energy before starting, since this will make things much easier.

Simply do this like any other classes so far, and you should be done quickly and easily.

When you are done, hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

Now that you’re done with the lessons, you can continue with the story part of the chapter. Hit the GO button and proceed to the Library to meet your friends.

When you get there, you’ll be able to interact with some of the characters by tapping on the speech bubbles above them.

After explaining to them what Tulip and you saw in the corridor, Rowan will ask you for your opinion about Madam Rakepick. You have three options to respond with.

It is recommended to go with the first option if your Empathy is level eighteen or higher since it’ll award you with ten attribute points compared to five you’ll get from the other two choices. You’ll then get a task to discuss Madam Rakepick. Completing it requires earning five stars within three hours, but only one is needed to pass.

Make sure to slide the screen left and right in order to see all the available actions. Simply focus on completing ones with the high cost and you’ll be done before you know it.

Once you are done, you’ll get the next task to meet Rowan in the Great Hall. Hit the GO button and proceed there.

As soon as you get there you will notice that several characters have speech bubbles above them. Tap on those if you are interested to see what they have to say.

When you are done with that, Rowan will tell you an interesting theory he has about Madam Rakepick.

This theory will lead to a discussion which will open up a new task for you. The window will display the recommended attribute levels as well as the gold cost.

This behaves in a similar manner to Meal with a friend mini-game. In order to succeed you have to reassure Rowan that everything will be fine. There are six turns to complete this. To fill up the diamond meter completely, you need to earn a total of fifty points. Since the attribute requirements for this task are fairly low, this shouldn’t be too difficult to accomplish. In any case, you can check the pictures below for some questions and answers related to them.

Once you complete this, you will receive a significant increase in Rowan’s friendship experience. This will likely increase the level of your friendship with him.

Both of you will agree that you need to investigate Madam Rakepick. Apparently, she and Professor Snape used to be classmates, so he would be a good person to talk to. There is a waiting period of three hours before you can proceed. You can wait for a while or use some gems to speed up the process, it’s up to you.

When you are able to continue, head to the Potions Classroom. Once there, you will be able to interact with some of the characters by tapping on their speech bubbles.

You’ll then ask Snape about Madam Rakepick. This will intrigue him and he’ll want to know your reasons for asking about her. You have three response options.

Each option will award you five points in a different attribute, and since the outcome is pretty much the same, feel free to pick whichever one you prefer. Your next task is to attend the Potions Class. It requires earning five stars within three hours with one being needed to pass.

Complete this in a similar manner as other classes and you’ll have no trouble with it.

Once you complete this task, Snape will share some of Rakepick’s history with you. Apparently, she was quite the mischievous student back in the days. But because it was the Headmaster’s decision to invite her to Hogwarts, there is nothing Snape can do about it. Not without evidence at least.

For your next task, you should talk to Professor Flitwick and see if there is something he knows about Madam Rakepick. Proceed to the Charms Classroom when you are ready.

As soon as you arrive, you will notice that some of the students have something to tell you. Tap on the speech bubbles above them to see what they have to say.

After that, you’ll talk to Professor Flitwick, but like the previous time, you’ll have to complete the class before you can discuss the matter. Luckily, for this one, you need to earn five stars within one hour. The entirety of the stars can be obtained with around twenty-five energy, so it should be relatively easy to accomplish.

Ideally, you want to start this task with a full energy bar. That way you can easily get all the stars and earn some nice rewards in the process.

The best thing about this is that you will be able to choose a reward after earning each star.

And not just that, you will also get a mini task for each of the stars. Completing it successfully will award you ten Empathy points.

Once the class is over, Flitwick will ask if you think that Madam Rakepick should be scrutinized? You have three response options. Each of those will award you five attribute points.

His initial response will be different, depending on the choice you pick, but in the end, he’ll advise you to come to your own conclusion. For the next task, you should speak to Madam Hooch about Rakepick. However, there are three hours of waiting time before you are able to do so.

Once you are able to continue, proceed to the Training Grounds.

You’ll be able to interact with some of the other students when you get there. Simply tap on their speech bubbles in order to check out what they have to say.

Similar to the previous tasks, you’ll have to finish the class before you are able to talk to the professor. This one requires you to earn five stars within three hours. Only one is needed to pass, so you shouldn’t expect much trouble with this task.

On average, it will take you around fifty energy to obtain all the stars. Prioritize the actions with the high cost and you won’t have many problems.

And don’t forget about the mini-tasks since completing each of those will grant you ten Courage points.

Once the class is over, you’ll receive ten House Points from Madam Hooch.

By the looks of it, she is not too fond of Madam Rakepick.

For the next task, you’ll need to meet Hagrid. Hit the GO button and proceed to the Clocktower Courtyard.

As you get there, you’ll notice that some of the characters have speech bubbles above them. Tapping on those will reveal what they have to say to you.

Once you are done with that, tap on the exclamation mark to initiate the conversation with Hagrid. Talking about Madam Rakepick is your next task and it requires earning five stars within one hour. As before, only one star is needed to pass.

You should be able to get all the stars with one energy bar, so it shouldn’t take long to finish this task.

You will learn a lot of interesting things about Madam Rakepick from Hagrid. But most importantly, you definitely don’t want her as your enemy.

He’ll then ask if you want him to talk to her for you. You have three options to respond with.

It is preferred to pick the first choice as long as you meet the attribute requirement. Your next task will involve talking to Rowan in your Common Room. There is a waiting period of three hours before you can proceed.

Once you are able to continue, head to your Common Room to meet Rowan.

Talking to Rowan about Rakepick is your next task. To complete it, you need to earn five stars within three hours. One star is required to pass.

During this task, the two of you will summarize all the information you’ve learned so far.

Once you’re done with the task, one of the students will approach and hand you the letter from Madam Rakepick. She found out that you questioned the staff about her and wants to meet you in the Artefact Room. Rowan will offer to accompany you there.

It is recommended to take him with you as long as long as your Empathy is level eighteen or higher. When you are ready, hit the GO button and proceed to the Artefact Room.

When you arrive, you’ll notice that she is already there, waiting for you. She will be displeased in case you brought Rowan along.

She’ll want to know why did you ask around about her. You have three options to respond with.

The first two answers will award you with five attribute points, while the third one is worth ten. This should be your preferred choice as long as your Knowledge attribute is level eighteen or higher. After a lengthy talk, Madam Rakepick will offer you to serve as her assistant. You can choose between two options.

Pick whichever option you find the most appropriate because regardless of your choice, she will tell you to seek Professor Kettleburn if you want to find the way to enter the Forbidden Forest. You’ll thank her for the advice and with that, the chapter will conclude. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.
