Chapter 17 – Broken bonds

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Seventeen of Year Five of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous chapter, you did some preparation and practice in order to face Madam Rakepick and ask her about Jacob.

However, once you eventually did so, she shattered your wand to teach you a lesson. Thankfully, you were provided with a temporary wand until you can get a proper replacement.

Summary

Walkthrough

Now, you can start things off by completing the lessons. Proceed to the Transfiguration classroom when you are ready.

Unlocking Switch: Top Hat & Rabbit lesson requires earning a total of nine stars from Transfiguration classes. Choose a combination of classes suitable to your liking and hit the Start button to begin.

Unlike most of the other classes, bonus progress actions are fairly scarce here, so focus on completing them whenever they appear.

And as usual, try to successfully complete as many mini-tasks as possible to earn some additional Knowledge points.

After you obtain all the stars necessary for unlocking the lesson, head back to the classroom to attend it.

To learn the Switch: Top Hat & Rabbit, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All of the stars are required to pass, so avoid starting the lesson if your energy is low.

Do this lesson just like the classes you took beforehand, and you shouldn’t encounter any problems.

Upon earning the fifth star, you’ll be tasked with casting this transfiguration. Trace the wand movement on the screen to cast the spell.

Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You’ll earn an additional reward for completing the lesson. You can claim it in the Transfiguration section of your Hogwarts Record.

Head to the Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom for your second lesson of the chapter.

To unlock the Fumos lesson, you need to acquire nine stars from the Defence Against the Dark Arts classes. Like before, pick whichever combination of classes suits your playstyle and hit the Start button to begin.

Thankfully, bonus progress actions are plentiful here, so you’ll be able to save some energy by doing them.

Needless to say, try completing all of the mini-tasks for some extra Courage points.

Once you collect all nine stars, you can return to the classroom to attend the lesson.

Learning the Smokescreen Spell is a three-hour-long task with a passing requirement of five stars.

Treat this lesson similarly to the previous classes and you’ll be done quickly and easily. During the lesson, Professor Rakepick will ask you a question about Fumos.

After obtaining all of the stars, you’ll be tasked with performing the spell. Trace the wand movement on the screen to cast Fumos.

When you are done, hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You’ll earn an additional reward for completing the lesson. You can claim it in the Defence Against the Dark Arts section of your Hogwarts Record.

Now that you’re done with the lessons, you can continue the story. Head to the Ollivanders when you are ready.

Mr. Ollivander will greet you upon your arrival. You’ll also notice that Madam Rakepick is there as well.

Shortly after, he will present three different wands to you.

The first one is an eleven-and-a-quarter-inch ebony wand with a dragon heartstring core.

Next is an eleven-inch redwood wand with a unicorn hair core.

And last, but not least, a twelve-inch laurel wand with a phoenix feather core.

Your character will be pretty excited about getting a new wand.

Shortly after, you’ll get to talk with Ollivander about those wands and see which one would suit you best. To complete this task, you need to earn five stars within an hour. Passing requires only one star.

There are bonus progress actions tied to your character and Mr. Ollivander. Prioritize those to save energy.

When you are done, you’ll get to choose which wand you prefer. Each option corresponds to one of the wands. The first one is for the ebony wand, the second is for the redwood wand, and the third option is for the laurel wand.

You’ll then give it a try to see if the wand is suited for you. And apparently, the wand is a perfect match!

Shortly after, Madam Rakepick will suggest that you visit Mundungus Fletcher once again. Proceed to the Knockturn Alley when you are ready.

Once you arrive, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the alley’s denizens. Tap on those if you want to see what they have to say.

Fletcher will comment on your new wand as soon as you approach him.

After talking for a bit, you’ll get to interrogate him. This task requires you to earn five stars within three hours. One star is needed to pass.

There are actions with bonus progress linked to Mundungus and one of the dark wizards. Focus on those actions to save energy.

When you are done, Fletcher will explain what really happened.

Madam Rakepick will ask if you believe his story. You have three options to choose from. There are some minor dialogue differences, but the general outcome is the same, so feel free to pick the choice you prefer.

Not long after that, she will give you your next assignment. She’ll tell you to go to Hogsmeade and ask around the Hog’s Head Inn to see if Fletcher was telling the truth.

There is a waiting period of three hours before you are able to proceed.

Once the waiting time is over, go to the Hog’s Head Inn to meet Aberforth.

Upon arriving, you’ll see some familiar faces. You can interact with them by tapping on their speech bubbles.

After that, you’ll be greeted by Aberforth Dumbledore, the owner of the establishment. He’ll ask for your opinion of the place. You have three options to choose from. All of them will lead to the same outcome, so feel free to select the one you prefer.

After talking for a bit, you’ll get to ask around about Fletcher.

This is a three-hour task that requires you to earn at least one out of five stars to pass.

There is a bonus progress action tied to Aberforth. Prioritize it to save a bit of energy.

When you are finished, Aberforth will give you a letter his brother left for you.

Your next task involves visiting the Headmaster’s office. Proceed there when you are ready.

Once you arrive, you’ll notice that Professor Snape is also there.

As usual, you’ll have to wait patiently before Dumbledore is ready to speak with you. To do that, you need to obtain five stars within eight hours. The passing requirement is one star.

There is a bonus progress action tied to Professor Snape. Prioritize it to save energy.

When you are done, the Headmaster will reveal some shocking information to you.

He’ll then tell you that he wants you to learn to control this ability under the tutelage of Professor Snape.

Shortly after that, Chapter 17 of Year 5 will come to an end. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards. You will receive 250 Coins and 2000 Experience points.

This is quite a shocking revelation. Learning this ability is definitely going to pose a challenge. But just how difficult will it be to master it? And will Professor Snape have patience teaching you? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery.
