Chapter 3 – Detention before extension

ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction

Hello everyone, witches and wizards alike, and welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Three of Year Five of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery.

Last time, you met Bill and Merula at the Three Broomsticks to discuss past events and talk about the things that happened. After talking for a while, Penny showed up to inform you that her little sister is missing.

You immediately offered to help and went to search for her in the Forbidden Forest alongside one of your friends. Sadly, your efforts didn’t show any results since Beatrice wasn’t anywhere in the forest.

Later on, you found Penny in the classroom, brewing a special potion that could help her locate Bea. Unfortunately, it didn’t work and she got really frustrated over it.

Thankfully, Merula arrived with the good news. She found Beatrice in the Grand Staircase, trapped in one of the portraits.

Madam Rakepick told you that this is most likely caused by another curse. Apparently, someone was meddling with another vault and unleashed this disaster upon Hogwarts.

The only way to save Penny’s sister and everyone else is to find the next vault and break its curse. This, however, won’t be an easy task, but if anyone can do it, it is you.

Walkthrough

Now you can start the chapter by doing the lessons first. Hit the GO button and proceed to the History of Magic classroom.

Upon arriving, you’ll be able to interact with some of your classmates. Simply tap on the speech bubbles above them to do so.

After a lengthy introduction, the class will begin.

year 5 chapter 3 1040

Learning the lesson about the Medieval Assembly of European Wizards is an eight-hour task. To complete it, you’ll need to earn five stars. All five stars are required to pass.

year 5 chapter 3 1050

There isn’t much of a difference between this one and all the other lessons you’ve had so far. For the most part, tap on the glowing objects to complete actions and fill up the star meter. Prioritize bonus progress actions to save energy.

Each time you obtain a star, you’ll be given a mini-task which will grant you ten Knowledge points upon successful completion.

year 5 chapter 3 1070

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

You’ll earn an additional award you can claim in the History of Magic section of your Hogwarts Record.

year 5 chapter 3 1090

The second lesson of the chapter is Defence Against the Dark Arts. Proceed to the classroom when you are ready.

Unlocking Impedimenta lesson requires you to earn a total of nine stars from the Defence Against the Dark Arts classes. Pick the class duration you prefer and hit Start to begin.

year 5 chapter 3 1110

If you are looking to optimize energy usage, focus on completing actions with bonus progress whenever they are available.

And pay attention to the mini-tasks in order to earn some additional Courage points.

year 5 chapter 3 1130

When you are done, the lesson will be unlocked, so head back to the classroom to attend it.

To learn the Impedimenta Jinx, you need to acquire five stars within three hours. Since all five stars are needed to pass, it is recommended to have full energy before starting the lesson.

year 5 chapter 3 1160

Do this one just like the previous classes and you won’t have any trouble with it. During the lesson, Professor Rakepick will ask you a question about the Impediment Jinx.

year 5 chapter 3 1180

When you are done, you’ll be tasked with casting Impedimenta on Ismelda. Trace the wand movement on the screen to perform this spell.

year 5 chapter 3 1190

Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

You can claim an additional reward in the Defence Against the Dark Arts section of your Hogwarts Record.

year 5 chapter 3 1210

Now that the lessons are out of the way, you can focus on the story tasks. Proceed to the Kitchens when you are ready.

Upon arriving you’ll be able to interact with some of the characters and see what they have to say.

You’ll then report to Pitts, the House Elf in charge of the Kitchens.

year 5 chapter 3 1240

He’ll explain what you need to do while serving detention, and shortly after, you’ll get the task for it. Completing it requires obtaining five stars within an hour. Only one star is needed to pass.

year 5 chapter 3 1250

If you are aiming to fully complete this task, you should easily be able to do so with one full energy bar.

year 5 chapter 3 1260

Once the work is done, you’ll meet Jae Kim, a Fifth-Year Gryffindor who often finds himself in detention for breaking various school rules.

year 5 chapter 3 1270

You’ll learn that he is smuggling all sorts of forbidden items into Hogwarts. This is good to know since you might need his help someday.

As a sign of good faith, he’ll offer to get you one item completely free of charge. You have three items to choose from. This choice will affect some of the dialogue lines in future chapters, but it won’t significantly change the story, so feel free to pick the item you like the most.

year 5 chapter 3 1290

Afterward, you’ll get the task to Meet Jae in the Library. However, there is a waiting period of three hours before you can proceed. 

year 5 chapter 3 1300

Head to the library once the waiting time is over. When you arrive, you’ll notice that some characters have speech bubbles above them. Tap on those to find out what they have to say.

After that, you’ll introduce Jae to your other friends.

year 5 chapter 3 1330

What follows is a funny conversation after which you’ll get the task to study. You have three hours to complete it and earn at least one of five stars.

year 5 chapter 3 1340

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

year 5 chapter 3 1350

Once you are done, you’ll come to the conclusion that the magic used to trap Beatrice is most likely some sort of Extension Charm.

year 5 chapter 3 1360

And who better to ask about Charms than Professor Flitwick. Hit the GO button and proceed to the classroom when you are ready.

Immediately upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of your friends. Tap on those to see what they have to say to you.

You’ll propose your theory to Professor Flitwick who will find it quite interesting.

year 5 chapter 3 1390

Shortly after, the class will begin. To complete it, you need to obtain five stars within three hours. Only one star is needed to pass.

year 5 chapter 3 1400

Despite this being a Charms Class, it behaves like a story task, so you won’t be getting any rewards or mini-tasks upon earning each of the stars. It is also worth noting there is a bonus progress action tied to the book next to Rowan.

year 5 chapter 3 1410

When the class ends, the Professor will tell you he suspects something far more complicated caused poor Beatrice to become trapped inside the portrait.

He’ll advise you to speak with Nearly Headless Nick. He might have some valuable information that could help with this entire situation.

year 5 chapter 3 1430

You’ll have to wait three hours until you can move on to the next task. Since you will likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

year 5 chapter 3 1440

Once you are able to proceed, head to the Grand Staircase to meet Nick.

When you get there, you’ll be able to interact with certain characters by tapping on their speech bubbles.

As it seems, this isn’t the first time someone got trapped in a portrait.

year 5 chapter 3 1470

Discussing this matter is your next task. You have eight hours to complete it, during which you have to obtain at least one out of five stars.

year 5 chapter 3 1480

There is a bonus progress action tied to Nick, so focus on it whenever it is available to save some energy. 

year 5 chapter 3 1490

When you are done, you’ll figure out that the Dark Wizard who attacked you is more than likely connected to these events.

You’ll then ask Nick who is best to talk to about the portraits, and he’ll suggest you talk to Badeea Ali, an incredibly talented Fifth-Year Ravenclaw.

year 5 chapter 3 1510

After this, Chapter 3 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 will also add Jae to your list of friends.

This investigation is getting interesting. Will Badeea Ali be able to help you? Is she really as gifted as Nick says? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!

Thank you for reading. Until next time.
