Chapter 4

Hello everyone, are you excited for Chapter Four of Year Four of our Magical Journey Walkthrough for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery? In the previous one, you took the advice Madam Rakepick gave you and went to ask Professor Kettleburn how to get into the Forbidden Forest. However, he was hesitant to share that information with you, so you had to help him by studying Bowtruckles in order to find a home for one of the Bowtruckles. Thankfully, many of your friends offered their assistance with studying, so in the end, you didn’t have much trouble with it. You were also able to help Penny with a problem involving Merula. Apparently, the mischievous Slytherin stole a Wit-Sharpening Potion from Penny and even got the credit for it. Luckily, you were able to make things right and in the end, Merula confessed her crime. Lastly, you went to meet Professor Kettleburn in the Courtyard, but instead of him, you were greeted by a hooded figure calling himself a Messenger. This mysterious magic user struck you by surprise with the Petrificus Totalus and after issuing a warning he simply walked away.

You can kick things off by doing the lessons part of the chapter first. Proceed to the Training Grounds to attend the Flying Lesson.

In order to unlock the Formation Flying Lesson, you need to obtain a total of nine stars from the Flying Class. There are numerous ways to do this. Some of those are faster than the others but are less rewarding. Find the class combination that suits you best and hit the Start button to begin.

As always, complete the action by tapping on various glowing objects in order to fill up the star meter. After a certain amount of the meter has been filled, you will earn a star.

After earning a star, you’ll be given a mini-task. Completing it successfully will award you ten Courage points.

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

Now that the lesson has been unlocked, you can head back to the Training Grounds to attend it.

In order to complete the Formation Flying Lesson, you need to obtain five stars within eight hours. Given that all of the stars are required to pass, you might want to consider having full energy prior to starting this.

Follow the same steps you did in the previous classes. The only difference is that it will take you roughly one hundred energy points to complete the entire lesson.

When you earn the fifth star, you will be tasked to fly in formation. Trace the path on the screen to perform this successfully.

What follows is a breathtaking scene during which you and your classmates fly together. It is truly a sight to behold.

Congratulations! You’ve now increased your energy limit by one. This will come in handy for your future adventures. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

Your next lesson is the Vermillious Charm. Tap on the GO button and proceed to the classroom.

Similar to the previous one, this lesson also requires you to earn a total of nine stars in order to unlock it. Choose a suitable combination and hit the Start button to begin.

Do these classes similarly to any others you had so far. Prioritize all the actions with the high cost since those will fill up more of the star meter per energy point spent.

Also, give it your best to finish all of the mini-task with a success in order to receive some additional rewards.

After you are done, the Vermillious Lesson will be unlocked.

Once you arrive back into the classroom, you will be able to interact with some of the students by tapping on their speech bubbles.

Learning Vermillious spell requires you to earn five stars within three hours. Since all of those are needed to pass, it is highly recommended to have full energy before starting it.

Focus on the actions with the high cost and you’ll be able to complete this with about fifty energy points or so.

When you obtain all five stars, you’ll need to cast Vermillious. Trace the wand movement on the screen to successfully cast the spell.

Congratulations! This spell will surely be useful if you ever get lost in the Forgotten Forest. Your next task is talking to Professor Kettleburn. Proceed to the Castle grounds once you’re ready.

Before the Professor could share the information about the Forbidden Forest, you’ll have to think of a name for one of the Bowtruckles. You have three options to choose from.

If your friendship level with Barnaby is three or higher, you will be able to pick the name Barnaby Junior. You’ll then get the task to play with the Bowtruckle. Completing it requires earning five stars within three hours. One star is needed to pass, so overall, it’s an easy task to accomplish.

Obtaining all five stars should be doable with around fifty energy or so. Keep tapping on Professor Kettleburn whenever you can since the actions related to him have the highest energy cost and you’ll be able to finish the task faster.

After you’re done, the Professor will ask why do you want to go inside the Forbidden Forest. You have three response options.

Each of the options will trigger a different response from Kettleburn, but eventually, they will all lead to the same outcome, so if you meet the attribute requirements, it is advised to go for the second or the third choice. You’ll then learn that the best way to enter the forest is by broom.

Your next task is talking to Madam Rakepick on the Training Grounds. Hit the GO button and proceed there.

Once you get there, you can check out what some of the other students have to say by tapping on their speech bubbles.

You’ll talk to Rowan about the mysterious messenger you encountered last night. Your prime suspect is none other than Patricia Rakepick. Sadly, without a solid proof, there isn’t much you can do about it, so, for now, you’ll have to behave as if nothing has happened.

Shortly after, Madam Rakepick will show up and ask if any of you know why you were invited here. You have three response options.

Each of the choices will award you five points in a different attribute and since all of them lead to the same outcome, you can feel free to pick the answer you like the most. Some of those are followed by quite a humorous lines of dialogue. The reason she wanted you all here is because she needs assistance with locating the next Cursed Vault. Because of that, she decided to teach you all the Blasting Curse – Confringo, a powerful spell usable in duelling. Learning this spell requires obtaining five stars within three hours.

Do this like any other story task you had so far and you’ll be done in no time.

When you get all five stars, you’ll be tasked with performing the spell. Trace the wand movement on the screen to successfully cast it.

Rakepick will then ask who do you think would be most suitable to help her with the cursed vaults. You have three options to choose from.

Each of those options will trigger a different response, but the outcome seems unaffected, so feel free to pick whoever you deem the most appropriate for this. Next, you’ll need to meet Tulip in the Three Broomsticks and discuss the Forbidden Forest. There will be a waiting period of three hours before you can do so. Either wait for a bit or use some gems if you are impatient, it’s up to you.

Once you get there, you’ll notice that there are speech bubbles above some of the characters. Simply tap on those if you want to check out what they have to say.

Afterward, Tulip will tell you that she narrowed down the location of the Cursed Vaults from the clues you discovered earlier on. You can react to this in three ways.

Two of the choices requires you to have level three friendship with her, but regardless, all of the options award the same number of attribute points, so you can go with the one you prefer. It’s also worth noting that no matter what you pick, you’ll stay at the inn and wait for Charlie to arrive. In the meantime, you can practice the Engorgement Charm while you’re at it.

Waiting for Charlie requires you to earn five stars within one hour. This is a relatively easy task to do since only one star is needed to pass.

Bear in mind that you can slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. Prioritize the ones with the high cost and you’ll be done quickly and easily.

Once you’re done, Charlie will arrive. While he won’t be too happy about all of you drinking Butterbeer without him, he will give you some useful bits of advice for getting into the forest.

Your next task involves talking to Penny. Once the waiting time of three hours is over, you’ll be able to go to the Training Grounds and meet her.

As soon as you arrive, you’ll be able to interact with certain characters and check out what they have to say.

After telling Penny about the things that happened, she will offer to investigate the mysterious group for you. You have two response options.

Picking the first option is preferred as long as your Knowledge attribute is level eighteen or higher. After that, you’ll have to attend the Flying Class for your next task. Completing it requires earning five stars within three hours with one being needed to pass.

This one is pretty similar to any other Flying Class you had so far, so simply follow the same steps and you’ll finish it without a problem.

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

On top of those, you’ll also get ten House Points from Madam Hooch.

Your next task is learning the Ferula Charm. However, you’ll have to wait for three hours before you can proceed.

In any case, when you are able to continue, head to the Hospital Wing.

After getting there, you will notice that there is an increasing number of sleepwalking students in the Hospital Wing. You can react to this in three ways.

Each response will award you five attribute points with minor dialogue differences. Pick the one you prefer since the outcome won’t be affected. You’ll then be able to learn the Bandaging Charm. This is perhaps, one of the easiest spells to learn since it requires obtaining five stars within an hour. Given that this is possible to accomplish with a single energy bar makes it almost trivial, as long as you are not out of energy when you start it.

For this task, there are two available highlighted objects you can tap on – your character and Madam Pomfrey. If you tap on yourself, the actions will alternate between four and two energy while tapping on Madam Pomfrey will alternate the actions between three and five energy. Simply tap on her to optimize the usage of energy and you’ll be done before you know it.

When you get all five stars, you’ll be tasked with performing the spell. Trace the wand movement on the screen in order to cast the Bandaging Charm.

Congratulations! This spell could potentially save you or one of your friends, so learning it was definitely a smart move. For the next task, you should head to the Training Grounds once again and talk to Madam Rakepick.

Like before, you’ll be able to check out what some of the other students have to say by tapping on their speech bubbles.

You’ll then learn that the reason you were all summoned is that Madam Rakepick wants you to duel one another and pick the last one standing as her assistant. You’ll be given the option to choose your opponent. Select one of the three possible options.

All of your opponents will have similar attribute levels, so regardless of who you select, the duel will have the same difficulty.

There isn’t a set strategy for this, so unlike some of the duels you had previously, this one will be a bit more challenging.

However, at this point, you should have a decent attribute advantage over your opponent, which will make things much easier.

When you manage to win, Madam Rakepick will ask if you are interested in having a private lesson in order to learn a spell that will be of use in your future adventures. Accepting her offer is highly preferable as long as your Knowledge attribute is level eighteen or higher.

She will let you know that you’ll receive her owl once it’s time for that lesson. This will also conclude the chapter. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

Now you are almost ready to head into the Forbidden Forest. The only thing you are missing is a broom. Hopefully, you’ll be able to acquire one soon enough. How did you find this chapter? What were your favorite moments? Who did you choose to duel against? Let us know in the comments below.
