Chapter 12

Hello everyone, welcome to our Walkthrough for Chapter Twelve of Year Seven of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. Previously, you reported to Moody and informed him about your assignment. You also returned the missing Portkey, but sadly, you couldn’t figure out why ‘R’ stole it in the first place. Later on, Amos Diggory invited you and your friends to congratulate you on a job well done. He even held a small celebration as a way to thank you. After that, you were tasked with taking the Wampus Cat to Care of Magical Creatures. Once you’ve done that, you went to talk to Merula. Unfortunately, she didn’t tell you much, so you were left with some unanswered questions. Afterward, Wilkie Twycross told you that you will be visiting Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Needless to say, you were happy to get the chance to visit the new department. Once you start the chapter, you will need to finish the first story task before you can access the assignments, so proceed to the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes when you are ready.

Upon arriving, you will be able to interact with some of the characters by tapping on the speech bubbles above them.

You will be amazed by the new department.

Unfortunately, Ben won’t be as enthusiastic about it as you.

You will recall him looking forward to visiting the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes.

He’ll say he has a feeling you won’t be visiting the Obliviator Headquarters or Accidental Magic Reversal Squad.

According to him, you will likely end up with some tedious task. There are three options to reply with. This choice won’t have a significant impact on the story, so feel free to pick the option you prefer.

Either way, you will remind him that both of you have been granted an amazing opportunity.

Ben will agree with you on that.

He’ll decide to be a bit more open.

You will wonder why no one is there to meet you.

Moments later, Mad-Eye Moody will approach and say that the Department Head is currently busy.

Because of that, he’ll be covering for her while she’s out.

You will be surprised to see him.

As it seems, he will be giving you your first assignment.

Ben will wonder if he is planning to send you to the Muggle-Worthy Excuses Committee.

Mad-Eye will say that he was going to send you to interview Garrick Ollivander.

You’ll quickly tell him you are happy to interview Mr. Ollivander.

Moody will then decide to give you your assignment briefing.

Attending assignment briefing requires earning five stars within an hour. Only one star is needed to pass.

If you are looking to save as much energy as possible, it is recommended to earn a single star and wait for the timer to expire. It’s also worth noting there are 5-cost actions linked to Mad-Eye and Ben.

By the looks of it, you will need to get a statement from Mr. Ollivander about a wand that backfired.

You will also need to examine the wand in question.

Ben will wonder how it is related to the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes.

Moody will tell him he can always get a task in the Muggle-Worthy Excuses Committee if that’s what he prefers.

You’ll quickly say there’s no need for that.

Mad-Eye will tell you to report back to him once you are done.

He’ll also remind you to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

Shortly after, you and Ben will decide to head to Ollivander’s shop.

Before going there, you can take care of the assignments since they should be unlocked now. Proceed to the Ministry Office when you are ready for the first one.

Mad-Eye will inform you that a wizard has been smuggling Muggle artifacts.

Apparently, he’s having fun selling the enchanted items to unsuspecting Muggles.

You’ll ask if anyone got hurt so far.

Luckily enough, that wasn’t the case. However, there’s no telling when someone might get hurt.

Mad-Eye will say it is incredibly important to apprehend the criminal as soon as possible.

You’ll tell him he can count on your help.

You will need to complete several tasks in order to finish the assignment. As usual, you can feel free to do them in any order you prefer.

While doing these tasks, it is recommended to pick the task duration that matches their stars requirements.

As always, focus on 5-cost actions whenever they are available, in order to save as much energy as possible.

As for the mini-tasks, completing them successfully will grant you some extra attribute points.

Once you complete all the tasks, return to the Ministry Office to report to Moody.

You will tell him you’ve completed your investigation.

Mad-Eye will praise you for your good work.

On top of that, the Ministry will apprehend the smuggler fairly soon.

You will be pleased to hear that.

You will receive a reward for completing the assignment.

Head back to the Ministry Office once you are ready for the second assignment of the chapter.

Amos Diggory will be glad to see you arrive.

As it seems, several Muggles have reported seeing a dragon flying over Southwest England.

Needless to say, that certainly isn’t good news.

Mr. Diggory will say that the Ministry needs all the help to deal with the situation.

He’ll ask you to research dragons and keep the Muggle world from finding out what happened.

You will gladly agree to help.

Completing this assignment requires finishing several tasks. You can feel free to do these tasks in any order you prefer.

While doing the tasks, it is recommended to select the duration that matches their stars requirements.

Prioritize 5-cost actions whenever they are available if you are looking to save some energy.

Successfully completing the mini-tasks will grant you some additional attribute points.

Return to the Ministry Office once you complete all of the tasks.

Amos Diggory will be happy to see you.

Thanks to your help, the Ministry managed to catch the dragon.

Also, all of the Muggles who saw the dragon got Obliviated.

Mr. Diggory will thank you for your help.

You will receive a reward for completing the assignment.

Now that you’re done with the assignments, you can proceed to Ollivander’s shop to continue the story.

You will thank Mr. Ollivander for agreeing to talk to you.

Ben will say that the two of you want to talk to him about the wand incident he reported.

Mr. Ollivander will give you a questioning look.

You’ll explain that he recently reported the incident to the Ministry of Magic.

You will go on and say that you are doing some tasks for the Magical Accidents Department as part of your school assignment.

Mr. Ollivander will be glad to hear that.

You’ll then get to talk to him about the malfunctioning wand.

Interviewing Ollivander requires earning five stars within three hours. Three stars are needed to pass.

There are 5-cost actions tied to Ben and your character. Prioritize those if you want to save some energy.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ollivander won’t be able to remember anything about a wand misfiring.

Ben will ask if you think that the memory problem Mr. Ollivander is experiencing could be related to the wand misfiring. There are two options to reply with. Since you can’t be certain about it yet, it is recommended to select the second option.

You will remember the way you traced the last spell Reg Cattermole’s wand cast, so you’ll figure out you can do the same to determine what caused Mr. Ollivander’s wand to misfire.

You will ask to see the wand in question.

Mr. Ollivander will tell you he was just about to leave the shop for a short while.

He will say that Zenith Xeep is holding a meet-and-greet at the Leaky Cauldron.

This will wonder who that is.

Apparently, Zenith Xeep is the most renowned opera diva in the wizarding world.

On top of being the opera star, she’s decided to branch out into new ventures, and launch a beauty and lifestyle business.

You will ask Mr. Ollivander to look for the wand before he leaves the shop.

Sadly, he won’t have time for that.

However, he will promise to show you the malfunctioning wand after the meet-and-greet.

You will suggest attending the event with him.

That way, if he remembers anything about the incident, you’ll be able to note it down.

Mr. Ollivander will agree to your suggestion.

Shortly after, the three of you will leave the shop.

You will need to wait four hours before you can continue. Since you will likely be low on energy at this point, it is recommended to wait, and let your energy recharge in the meantime.

Head to the Leaky Cauldron once the waiting time is over.

When you arrive, you will notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you are interested to see what they have to say.

You will notice that the place is very crowded.

Mr. Ollivander will say that the Leaky Cauldron is one of the most famous wizarding establishments.

You’ll spot Rita Skeeter standing next to a fabulous-looking lady. She will greet you as soon as you get closer.

Zenith Xeep will be surprised to see you. Apparently, she will be fully aware of who you are.

As it seems, Rita is writing an article about Madam Xeep.

She’ll wonder why you decided to attend the meet-and-greet.

Ben will provide a blunt and direct answer.

Zenith will ask Rita to introduce you to her.

Mr. Ollivander will use the opportunity to praise Madam Xeep’s performance.

Apparently, Zenith will like the compliments.

However, she will remind him that she’s there to promote her newest business.

You will ask her about the meet-and-greet.

Zenith will offer to tell you all about Xeep’s Luscious Locks Solution.

She’ll say she is interested in hearing the opinion of the younger generation.

You’ll be unsure if you have time for that.

Ben will bluntly say that neither of you has time to talk about hair products.

Mr. Ollivander won’t like the way he talked to Madam Xeep. He’ll warn him not to do it again, if he still wants help with the assignment.

In the end, you will agree to hear more about the Luscious Locks Solution.

Learning about the product requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

Be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There is a 5-cost action tied to the bottle on the table. Focus on it if you want to save a bit of energy.

You will learn that Zenith’s hair solution also works for skincare.

According to Rita, the product works wonders.

Madam Xeep will also say a few words about her product.

Ben will find that hard to believe.

According to Zenith, various medical professionals proved that her product works as advertised.

Even Mr. Ollivander will confirm it. He’ll say that he’s been using Xeep’s Luscious Locks Solution all week.

He’ll ask you to take a look at his hair and give him your honest opinion. There are two options to reply with. If you want to get on his good side, it is recommended to pick the first option. Keep in mind that Rita will write down your opinion in her article if you select this option. If you go with the second option, Rita won’t write down your opinion in her article.

Ben will ask Mr. Ollivander if all of you can head back to his shop and examine the malfunctioning wand.

Thankfully, he will agree to it.

Before you go, Zenith will gift you a sample of Xeep’s Luscious Locks Solution.

You will take one of the bottles and thank Madam Xeep for giving it to you.

Shortly after, you will head back to Ollivander’s shop.

Once again, you will thank Mr. Ollivander for agreeing to let you examine the wand.

Apparently, he will still have trouble remembering it.

Ben will quickly remind him.

You will ask Mr. Ollivander if he is feeling all right.

He’ll admit that he’s feeling a bit tired.

Shortly after, the three of you will look for the wand. Finding it requires earning five stars within three hours. All five stars are needed to pass, which is why you shouldn’t start this task with an empty energy bar.

There are 5-cost actions tied to some boxes, the ledger, and Mr. Ollivander. Focus on those if you want to save some energy.

Upon searching the place, you will stumble upon a strange-looking wand.

Mr. Ollivander will take a good look at it.

After inspecting the wand, he’ll tell you that it is fake.

He’ll provide the explanation for his reasoning.

You’ll ask if he had any similar wand.

Mr. Ollivander will nod and say that the wand in question is no longer in the shop.

He will admit he’s had a hard time focusing lately.

Ben will assume that the wand misfired because it is fake.

You’ll ask Mr. Ollivander if he remembers when he started getting forgetful.

Ben will ask if it was when the wand backfired.

Mr. Ollivander will say it started happening about a week ago.

You’ll ask if anyone else was in the shop when the wand misfired.

He’ll have a hard time remembering it. However, he will suggest checking his ledger.

According to the ledger, the only other person who was in the shop was Madam Villanelle.

Ben will assume that she could be the one who took the wand. You can choose whether you want to defend Madam Villanelle or agree with Ben. This choice will be referenced later on. Since there is no evidence, it is recommended to choose the first option.

Either way, you will decide to talk to Madam Villanelle and see if she can tell you more.

You will need to wait three hours until Madam Villanelle is ready to see you. Since your energy is likely low at this point, it is recommended to wait until the timer runs out.

Proceed to Flourish and Blotts once the waiting time is over.

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

Madam Villanelle will greet you and ask if there was something you want to talk to her about.

You’ll tell her that you want to talk about what happened at Ollivander’s shop earlier.

She will say that she hasn’t been there in weeks.

Ben will point out that her name was written down in Mr. Ollivander’s ledger.

You’ll tell her about the wand that misfired earlier.

Suddenly, she will remember it.

You’ll ask her to tell you more about the incident.

Talking to Madam Villanelle requires earning five stars within eight hours. All five stars are needed to pass.

Be sure to slide the screen left and right to see all the available actions. There are 5-cost actions tied to Madam Villanelle and your character. Prioritize those if you want to save as much energy as possible.

You will learn that Madam Villanelle was testing out a new wand when it misfired.

She will tell you that she’s been quite forgetful during the past week. She’ll say it is likely due to the long hours she’s been working lately.

She’ll also tell you she’s been using Xeep’s Luscious Locks Solution during the past week.

You will wonder if the memory problems Madam Villanelle and Mr. Ollivander experienced are somehow related to Zenith Xeep’s product.

Ben will say that all of it could still be a coincidence.

You will tell him that it’s probably not a coincidence since someone did steal a wand from Mr. Ollivander.

Your previous choice will take effect here.

You will figure out that whoever stole the wand is probably the same person who tempered with the shopkeepers’ memories.

Ben will wonder who would do that. There are two options to reply with. While this choice will be referenced later on, it won’t significantly change the story, so feel free to pick the option you prefer.

Your friend will point out that your simple assignment quickly turned into a magical catastrophe.

And now it’s up to you to solve this mystery and find out who’s responsible.

This will conclude Chapter 12 of Year 7. Hit the Collect button to claim your rewards.

It appears that the mysteries and adventures are following you everywhere. How will Mad-Eye Moody react when you tell him about the recent events? And is there any way to restore the memories of Mr. Ollivander and Madam Villanelle? Find out in the next chapter of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery!
