Great Harry matching game. This game is awesome. You get to be in a club to earn points and good rewards. But it’s really hard. I have played many matching games over the last 12 yrs. This game made me wanna through my tablet, delete the game and curse at it. I was ready to just give up. I have since them gotten to level 2018 and now I’m stuck again. But I love it I really do love this game. I even had my mom create a group. It’s a family game now. Now with all that being said. I don’t understand what they did in the last update before this new one. But they got away free game play in the daily log in. Everyone in our group hates it now. For us regular people that get stuck a lot we need at extra free lives. Those 10 min make a huge difference. We hate. Please for the love of all holy please put it back. Don’t understand why you guys took it off. And changed the daily log in rewards. But they are just dumb now. You get no more money like you used too. No more free extra unlimited free lives. Please put it back

5 star potential. It’s almost there, there is always an update, which is good, it means that they are taking the feedback. We are leaving and putting it to good use. It does however freeze up a lot. You just have to be patient and the game will catch back up to itself. Hopefully this is fixed soon. I’ll check back later. The next issue is there doesn’t seem to be enough chances to earn coins so you can continue to play with the new seasons an extra moves and power ups ect, just by logging in for seven days in a row you can earn 200 coins, the average five extra lives is about 1000 coins, you get coins when you level up sometimes, but not every single level up. I do my best to play without spending money. I have no shame and being stuck on a level for four days. But I’m more inclined to buy the next season pass especially since this one is at a good price point. If I can afford some of the power ups from time to time or an extra life. Another minor thing is the pushing of joining Facebook or liking Facebook or Instagram page not everybody is on social media. There should at least be an option to check the box.

Good but some frustrating elements. I’ve played this game for probably close to 2 years and I’m probably addicted. I like it because there are no ads (unless you want freebies) and I hope it stays that way! But with that comes trade offs that are clearly intended to make some money. There are several frustrating elements such as challenges that are different iterations of the same thing, such as the butterbeer and bubbles. Certain features are only available if you have a club which is annoying. But, what prompted me to write this review is the most recent update to the featured creature, which is infuriating. I felt when that was introduced that it helped offset the increasing difficultly in completing levels without the need to use power-ups. Using the featured creature within 5 moves irrespective of level change is not cool. Just let it carry over to another level if we don’t use it or don’t want to use it yet 😡

Fun, but don’t expect to earn more creatures. The game is highly addictive. You can do every level without power ups, though it might take several tries. I’m over level 900 without spending money on the game. That being said there are issues, and you won’t earn creatures after the ones you get on the first day. Examples of issues include incorrect notifications and puzzle problems. Currently I have 7 notifications on the Events tab and I should have 1. It behaves especially weird when guild puzzles are open. In addition, it’s common for it to take out the wrong color when I do a swap and for puzzles to start with swapping (meaning it doesn’t even start with valid choices). This last thing leads me to believe that while all puzzles are winnable, they are not all winnable every time otherwise there would be no swapping at the beginning. All cards in the packs (even the packs you spend gold on) are duplicates. When you get one away from getting a new one, all the new cards generated from the duplicates turn in will be for a brand new creature that’s just been announced. I don’t see a way to pay for a new one because all the cards I’ve got with gold gave me duplicates so there isn’t really a reason to go after the gold for me. I’d be tempted to spend money to get more pets, but as the game is now, I don’t see a reason to work for or buy gold. It’s a lost opportunity because collecting creatures is something that would hold my interest.

My only issue. I love this game. It’s very well done. Thank you to everyone involved. My only concern is that every time one of those events “where you collect ingredients to make things” ends I always seem to have a number 2 hovering over the Events tab at the bottom of the screen. This usually means that you have an item to collect inside and it’s a reminder for you to go do that. However, when I click on Events there is nothing inside for me to collect or anything of that sort. I’m not sure why this happens but I’ve noticed the last 3 times that one of those fantastic feasts / cooking events ends I have a number 2 show up on the Events tab below. It will remain that way until a new fantastic feasts/cooking/event starts. Then the number 2 goes away but as soon as the event ends a number 2 shows back up on the Events tab all over again. Please help!

Great Time Killer. Great game with a lot of creativity, but I believe there are some features that could be tweaked for a better experience. My biggest suggestion is the unlimited lives when you log in. I like to play at night and my league has a set time they usually activate our challenge. That is when I want to use my unlimited lives since it’s a timely occurrence. Throughout the day, I am fine with just giving my normal levels a go, and then waiting till my lives refill. If being able to activate our unlimited rewards whenever we want, I think that’d be great even if they expire after 24 hours so you can’t stack them. Also, the price of power ups is a little high with gold being so hard to collect without paying. I know games like this need to make money but I would more willingly make a purchase if I felt like the gold was worth it, but right now you can only buy a few power ups, extra turns for a high cost. Overall, great game. Just needs some adjustments.

Favorite match-3 I’ve found so far. I love that making a cube is a move you can do. The Potterverse references, clubs, character bonuses, & bonus "classes" are great! I hope more get added as we move through the years. The Gameplay is simple but the levels are challenging. Suggestions: Need more stars &/or trophies awarded based off points or more ways to earn them. (For Ex: clearing the board should have more benefits as far as points go. I shouldn't have to clear the board 5 times & still lose on a level that requires 6 books to be gathered.) Also, it would be nice if we could save the power ups earned from the clear gems. Maybe set an option to “use now” or “use later” and then set a 3 move save limit before it’s automatically activated or disappears or something? I keep setting up for a specific move just to have a fanged frisbee blow up all my pieces. It’s so frustrating (but not a deal breaker).

Quidditch Bugged. This rating would be higher, because I enjoy the game as a whole. I love playing Quidditch a lot, but I’ve been having the same problem as a few other people I’ve noticed. My game-start creature effects haven’t been working, like they always had before, knowing the creature blast itself has never been available. *BUT* the worst came yesterday morning. I can’t progress past Quidditch puzzle 1. It isn’t that I can’t win. I do, it states my victory, but it still doesn’t give me puzzle 2. The game leaves me on puzzle 1 and takes a Quidditch life away, the same as if I’d lost. Meaning playing Quidditch is worthless to me right now. I contacted Zynga Player Support stating all this. They responded with “we realize it can be frustrating to not be able to use your creature during Quidditch. We’ve sent your words to the developers for future consideration.” That’s it. That’s all they had for me. Apparently, they didn’t read everything going on. 🤬

It has potential but I’m annoyed. I have a love hate relationship with this game. It can be challenging, which I like, but it can be redundant at times as well. I feel like you don’t get enough coins through gameplay so you get to a point where you feel like you have to spend money. Some levels it seems like you HAVE to have some type of powerup and if you don’t, good luck. I’m okay with a challenge but I also am not the type to try for weeks or months to pass a level. I think either more coins or more powerups need to be achievable through gameplay and events. My BIGGEST problem is that since it updated last it will not let me play. The game just won’t load. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Restarting the app, restarting my phone, playing with WiFi, with just my 5G, airplane mode, I’ve uninstalled and tried reinstalling multiple times over the last week and if anything that made it worse. I’m now logged out of my account but i can’t reach out for support because it won’t load me into my account. This is my only way to reach out for assistance because I’m losing out on the gameplay and if you are like me and are in a club that has weekly trophy minimums I am at risk of being kicked out of my club. Please fix this!!!!

Great game. Could be near perfect with some tweaks.. All in all, this game is very fun and addictive. If you love the match three puzzle genre, this game will definitely satisfy that itch. The game has some very frustrating quirks, though, that I think need to be addressed: 1. Swipe bugs show up often. You click on a gem and swipe one direction, only to have the gem swipe the opposite direction. 2. Fat finger purchases. You click on the big button to end a puzzle, only to have it spend your purchased or accumulated coin on extending the level by a few turns. (Adding a confirmation prompt to this and all transactions in the game makes way too much sense not to happen) 3. Clearing a block of gems only to have that space stay empty until you make another move. 4. Having gems fall together into a combination that should produce a special item (key/bomb/lightning/bag) but doesn’t. 5. Adding a feedback button in the app so that these issues can be brought up without having to file an app review... If you play occasionally, these issues may not seem very irksome. If you play as much as I do, though, these things can add up to a very frustrating game session. The purchases issue, in particular, pisses me off the most as it can take days to save up for another pack of cards. Having the game take 1200 coins to extend a Divination class you have no chance of winning even with 50 more turns really cuts the wrong way...

“Support” team fail. I loved this game until I lost the opportunity to win a magical creature due to a game glitch. I paid cash for an event so I could win a magical creature. Near the end of the event I was on track to complete the tasks and win the creature when the game stopped offering daily tasks. I knew I couldn’t win without the points from those tasks. I contacted support and described the problem before the event was over. They responded that they were aware of the problem and were working on it, but no further daily tasks appeared, the event ended, I lost the creature and my money and heard nothing more. I contacted support again, described the problem again. I said I was very unhappy and thought they should give me the creature or refund my money or give me game credits. They responded that they were still investigating, that they would get back to me through the same support ticket. Days later, I got a message that the support ticket was closed because “we haven’t received an update from you.” Thanks for nothing. Update: After one more service request, they unlocked the creature I had hoped to win and I am satisfied with that resolution. If you love the whole Potter world, this is the game for you, because they do a great job of bringing it to life.

A Big Step Up From Its 'Oz' Predecessor. Best thing about this game is the relative scarcity of 'gotcha' puzzles where you just keep losing until you can create that single game-winning match. I'm nearing 3000 wins and what money I've spent is to support a great game, not because I had to to win. The key, I suppose, is to really understand your power-ups and how they work with each other. Takes practice and patience, and some puzzles are tough, but the game offers many many ways to earn extra time without you needing to break out your wallet. Best 'match 3' I've played by far, and I've loaded and uninstalled a lot of them. PS--Around 8000 puzzles total now, and regardless of what you may read, I'm convinced there's not a puzzle in the game that requires buying power-ups, extra lives and such. There are some that are easier if you use your creature wisely. Still a great game.

My opinion about this game. So now im level 140+ so far the game is amazing and honestly I played so many puzzle games but never seen a game like this im a huge harry potter fan and to see they care so much for the fan base is actually crazy they even made the pass cost by ingame money as an option instead of a real money if you play games like royal match .. toon blast etc the pass has to be bought with real money to buy the vip one but this game they support both paying and free to play players so that's really kind of them and coins so far are not hard to get all you have to do is pass 6 levels without losing and u get over 500 coins thats actually good deal in my opinion that they balancing stuff in the game for paying and playing for free this game is not greedy at all for a option to get a vip pass by using ingame money that shows how much they care for their fan base they deserve a 5 stars for the graphics and balancing stuff ingame. And also there is 3 ways to get creatures in the game love that! I can tell there is so much love into the game for asking each puzzle if its good or not not all puzzle games does so..

Ad Failures and frustration. Let me start by saying this review is not the typical railing against ad-based games in general. I understand the need for monetization and respect a developers preference to release a game as “free” but ad-supported. Having said that, the way this game treats ads is clunky, frustrating and prone to utter failure. The gameplay is enjoyable, visuals are impressive but the game is created in a way to push the user to click on an ad to extend a board (i.e. watch this ad for 3 more moves). The amount of times that this process has failed on me cannot be coincidence. I will be conveniently one move away from completing a particularly hard level so will click the ad to extend. The game will fail or lock up immediately after the ad plays or the ad will play through but will fail to provide the reward once the ad completes. It is also ridiculous that although I touch nothing on screen while the ad is playing the game will still try to kick me to the App Store for the ad that just ran. If I exit out via the Done button THEN the game will fail and force me to restart thus losing the reward and my progress on the ridiculously hard level that prompted me to suffer through the ad to begin with. I shouldn’t be surprised since this tends to be typical of Zinga games in general but this one is frustrating enough to force me to write this review. Hope this helps someone avoid this frustration in their lives and I will be deleting this one from here.

Can’t open game. I love the game. However, every time there is an update, I can’t never open the game (this is about the 4th update that this happens) each time it has been a different issue, the message this time is that it can’t connect to the internet, try again - I am connected to the internet, my browser and all online apps are connected and working online! The solution is always to uninstall, then start the game again at level 1 until several level laters that it allows you to reconnect with the correct account/level. This time around the uninstall and reinstall had to be done twice to solve the issue. Because of this I’m rating it a 3. I’ve put time, effort and $ towards this game and it is an inconvenience to have to go through all of this after their updates. Customer service has always been good, but The developers have to find a solution to their updates it should not prevent me to open the game and go through uninstall etc every and each time.

End the “pranks”. I love this game. It is fun and I love that it follows the movies (if not the books). What I HATE are the “pranks”. It isn’t funny to have hard won trophies lost for no reason. It isn’t funny to wait for a creature meter of 65+ to charge up so it can be used at the best time just to lose it and the level as a result. Pranks are not harmful. In a game like this, these so called “pranks” ARE harmful. It isn’t fun and makes me not want to play when this particular event is going on. I had hoped it would only be a one off event. Also, for new players, this is a game designed for new players to boost a team. The more advanced levels are harder to complete but still earn the same number of trophies. This means the low levels earn more trophies faster than the higher levels. Be prepared, if you are on a team, to be kicked out if you get too high. Kicked members out of a club encourages more new players to join and this keep the trophy count high so the club can get those rare pets. Otherwise, this game is really fun.

Visually amazing…. But the game is laggy sometimes, and the algorithm is blatant. Will let u win a level easily with plenty of moves to spare if u take a long break, and the same level may have taken you a complete hour of free play to try and defeat. It will also allow u to “almost” beat a level but for one game piece dozens of times in a row to try to get you to pay for an upgrade or buy a package to move on. Sometimes a critical last move powerup will go to the wrong piece for the same reason. Also, dozens of times I’ve made a critical move, and the game piece or power-up goes in the opposite direction I moved it which is very frustrating. I have a huge phone screen and slim fingers, I know what direction I moved the piece but it goes the opposite way seemingly to keep me from winning the level. That being said I’ve enjoyed the game more than the frustrating things about it. The graphics are great especially compared to other matching games I’ve played and if you love HP, you will feel nostalgic. Overall, fun and I would recommend.

Decompress from work with Harry Potter. Been playing for a couple years thru lockdowns and wfh ugh, and have thoroughly enjoyed this app as my go-to for lounging decompression after stressful day of work. It offers a light level of thinking and escapist, colorful productivity to down-shift out of intensity before I fully shift gears. My main ask of the developers is to support landscape orientation because iPad cases are not geared for standing in portrait mode, and I might even play more than I already do. I like the ability to thumbs up or down after a puzzle but curious what effect that has. It’s buggy occasionally which is tolerable, but the most annoying bug to me is pressing the button to watch an ad for three more finishing moves and finding the ad never plays and you’re basically game over due to glitch- please prioritize fixing that one. Some of the labyrinth boss puzzles are simply too difficult for humans, our team rarely finishes, so the bar seems a little too high. I’ve really enjoyed the variety in the puzzles themselves, kudos for that. I really love the “good wins over evil” theme of Harry Potter and hope you embrace that spirit in the game design, challenges, and puzzles as well going forward. Great work to the team, keep improving, will keep playing.

Only Match 3 I play. I have over 2,500 levels played. I have read some of the 4 star reviews, and feel I can give an objective look and honest perspective as someone that has played this game for over a year: 1) As a club officer, we had struggles initially with the Daily Puzzle being started either too early or too late. The way we resolved this issue was taking into account (using the club chat) of the general time zones of our club members. We then made sure all officers and leader were able to start the Daily Puzzle at a specific time of the day. This shot up our daily participation in the puzzle. Our MVPs are given a warning if they start the puzzle over an hour and a half before the specified time. I have recommended the idea of a feature allowing officers and the leader to set a specific time for MVP to start the puzzle, or a daily auto start time for the puzzle that officers and the leader and override. 2) Creature cards show as “duplicates” after you first get one, but the key part is the + number. So if it says +4, then you received 4 duplicates toward the 30 needed for the purple decks. The creators have actually made it easier to get every creature card. Once you have gotten every available creature album, the stars stack up quick and you can quickly get the latest albums. 3) Ad complaints I don’t understand as I very rarely watch them. 4) I have found progressing in this game is far easier than in other games without making any purchases.

Harry Potter Puzzle and Spe.. Love playing the game. The only problem I have is that when I win a board I have to go back and play it again. I’m really tired of it. Please fix and put we where I should be I spend lots of money for coins. Takes them away when I win so there for I lose them. PLEASE FIX THE BUG. FIX BUGS would give it a 5 star, but only a 3 because of the wrong doing on the game. I had to delete my game and reinstall it. Because when I got my update it didn’t give me everything it should have. My husband plays the same game he got all the updates. Another thing on the cards it take for ever to get all six you get more duplicates then anything. We both love this game. I’ve spent a lot of money for coins and so on. They try to make it impossible to win some of the games. Love the challenges don’t get me wrong but having to play sometimes more then sixteen times on one game is crazy when they don’t even give you enough of the color you are trying to get. Having to start all over again and all ready getting the two cards on the toad is crazy.

I really want to give is 5 stars. I am a complete Harry Potter fan and love all things Harry Potter. Of all the games I’ve ever downloaded this one is by far the best. they’ve done such a great job with levels, challenges, team play and upgrades. Until one of the recent upgrades. It has been very frustrating. Part of the puzzles is getting power ups. Sometimes you earn them sometimes you create them. The winged key power up used to go after puzzle obstacles and help in completing the puzzle. Now the winged keys will go after other power ups. Some of these levels are really hard and you have to be strategical. The power ups are there to help you not hinder you and when you have some thing saved for a specific move and then the winged key sets it off, it can completely destroy your entire puzzle and you will have no chance of winning that level. Because of this some thing that is supposed to help you makes it to where you have to play some levels over and over and over again. When it gets to that point, I put the game away and stop playing. Side note: I’d be nice if during the Quidditch challenge and team challenge we could ask for lives from our team mates like we can on the regular puzzles.

Awesome game!. I’ve been playing this game for a long time. I love that there’s always some event going on leading to random rewards. My current favorites are the Secret Scenes! I also like the Feast events in which you collect ingredients and choose your own rewards. I am so glad that the ad options for +3 moves got fixed. There may still be minor glitches in it now and then (sometimes I’ll click Watch and nothing happens, but if I wait 30 seconds it will give me the option to click Watch again and then it’ll work) but overall I am glad it is back. It has helped many times! In the future I would love to see a Level map in each Scene to revisit favorite puzzles! There’s an option to Like or Dislike a puzzle which I utilize, but I’d love to be able to go back and play certain ones again after I’ve beaten them! Thanks, Zynga, for listening to the players, creating fun new in-game content, and always keeping up with improvements.

Game is fun. I actually really enjoyed this game. It is a great stress reliever. I’ve noticed some glitches in previous versions where sometimes the app would freeze and crash mid-puzzle (frustrating because you then lose a life), but that seems largely resolved in the new version. I don’t typically leave reviews for apps, but there’s one point I’ve got a really strong opinion on: I’m really disappointed that in this version, you’ve limited who can start the daily puzzles to club leader or officer again. While it was not perfect with the MVP, it did motivate people to play more regularly. My suggestion would be to make the daily puzzle standard and restart every day automatically (like the subject class puzzles) it could even be for a short period of time like a couple of hours like those special challenges (collect x number of gems in the next 4 hours etc.) it’s just really frustrating to be in a group that is not super active and never get a crack at the daily puzzles as a result.

Extra chances rarely work and the keys are the worst. This is a great game, I’m a bit addicted. The graphics are fabulous, the daily puzzles and tournaments are fun. But on the rare occasion that I am offered three lives for watching an ad, I seldom get the three lives. The ad plays, I close it after the appropriate time, and then all I get is the screen offering the three plays again. I have to quit the game to go anywhere. This has happened more often than it has worked. Also, with all of the great coding this must have required, somebody got incredibly lazy on the keys. I’ve often had one play left to win a game, selected a key, and had it go to a random cell (and make me lose the game). Even when I’m not close to the end I avoid using them, they usually make the worst choice - I am always pleasantly surprised when they don’t. These don’t keep me from playing, but they do keep this from being a five-star game.

A month ago my favorite game now I won’t touch it. This was my absolute favorite game until one day about 3 weeks ago my power ups stopped helping (keys wouldn’t hit the squares needed, magic bags wouldn’t scoop up colors needed, etc) for example I had 1 square left to complete the level, I had several keys, a magic bag, and 8 tries to go. It was a no brainer I would beat the level and all of a sudden they start zapping squares that were of no use to complete the level. Down to my last move I had to use my power up that was below the puzzle to complete the level (and those cost money or take a lot to get.) Also not a single level for the last three weeks has allowed me to “watch” for 3 more moves. Even if I am within 1 move to complete. It will only allow me to pay 900 coins to play 5 more. I could understand if one or two puzzles did that BUT NOT A SINGLE PUZZLE HAS OFFERED IT IN WEEKS it’s getting the point where I either quit or spend actual money and I’d rather quit and find a game that doesn’t do that. Maybe I’ll pick up again in a few months and see if the bugs were worked out.

Wizarding World of Fun!. I love this game. I’ve been playing it for years and it’s by far my favorite. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, and this game has plenty of fun elements from the movies, along with Fantastic Beasts. Good graphics too. The developers have taken comments into consideration and made so many improvements over time, all making the game even more enjoyable. I love the random option to watch adds for 3 more moves. I love the daily puzzles and events that give opportunities to win gifts. I do think the maze is nearly impossible to win chests. I wish each dot on the course didn’t have to be repeated multiple times. I’d prefer more stops before reaching creatures than playing the same puzzle over and over. However, the map is cool and I like playing it. I also like that the earned pts remain available and continue to accumulate each time it comes back around. I also agree with others that it would be nice to boot team members over time if they haven’t played in over a month or so. I’m the only member of my team who plays. I know I can change teams. It’s not a huge deal but would be nice to make space for newcomers. Regardless, I love this game. Thank you to developers for listening to feedback and making improvements. It is noticed and appreciated!

Felix. Absolutely love this game. My whole family plays. The graphics are stunning and never fail to please. Specialty puzzles keep you from monotonous play. The one issue is being cheated out of stars/ trophies/points. I love the extra moves given if you watch an advertisement, however, many times the game won’t come back on and the game ends. This past week I haven’t been able to click any “play” or receive the 3 free moves. I was given instructions to restart WiFi, which can’t be the issue as my wife plays at the same time and her games load just fine. Although thats frustrating because you would have won with those moves, it’s still just a game and so much fun to play. The only other thing I hate is getting the same 3 random cards in a pack, over and over. I’m only at level 26. I’m thinking the only way to fix the issue is to delete the game and download it again. I hate to loose everything and start from the beginning, but I love playing and I’m tired of replaying the same game over and over because of one move.

Great but there are downsides. This game is great fun. I love the leagues. It adds a whole new level of competition to the game. They've done a great job cracking down on the teams who were cheating, which I'm very thankful for. I think my biggest gripe is with the special creatures. When you complete puzzles, you have a choice to pick a special creature to help you. They come out with these new special limited time creatures and feature them for a whole month. It's hard enough that I have 3 creatures that have 5/6 cards needed to complete them, but now with the special creatures every month all my new cards go toward that creature. I've been playing this since it came out and I still haven't unlocked all the basic creatures. Who actually thinks I'm going to unlock the special creature in 1 month? It's impossible and a way to get money from us. Cool it down on the special creatures and allow us to get all our other creatures please! I'm tired of saving up all my cards until the end of month and opening them at the same time. I'm not patient enough for that

Overall good game but does have some downsides. I love this game, I’ve been playing it for months. But lately I’ve been discouraged to play because I am not able to unlock new magical creatures. When I first started the game I unlocked two pretty quickly, but I am now at level 631 and I have only unlocked 3 animals out of maybe 10. You have to beat 8 levels to get 3 cards, then you reveal the cards and collect them to unlock certain creatures. Each creature requires 5-6 cards to be unlocked. I have received so many duplicates of cards, and if you get 50 duplicates you can redeem them to open one card but even then I get duplicates. I feel that after collecting 50 duplicates you should be guaranteed to get a card that you do not have. I have even spent money trying to pay for the packs and “legendary” card collections, but I still am stuck with the same 3 creatures that I unlocked hundreds of levels ago. I am quite disappointed with this part of the game and I hope they make some improvements soon or else I will most likely delete the game and stop spending money on it. Just my own opinion, but I do believe this to be a fun, entertaining game overall.

Love the game but going broke playing it. First I have to say I absolutely love this game! It’s challenging and creative and the graphics are phenomenal. But here comes the sad reality of this game and why I finally had to review it and only give 3 stars…lately all I do is shell out A LOT of money to play with nothing in return. There are no more magical creatures yet I still earn stars for them. Give me coin instead. Stop being so greedy! You can barley play multiple games without having to shell out money to finish every single time. Maybe I finish one in every 20 without having to pay to finish. And it gets frustrating because at my level I shouldn’t have to be doing that. It’s also shady when you have spent a lot of coin to try and finish a game yet that one lightning bolt or color gem you need to win is suddenly moved out of place. Its becoming less and less “fun” and more like a bad habit I need an intervention for. But the pranks are the absolute worst! I can’t stand them. Please please please don’t bring them back. Ever! I’d love to give you more stars and I feel 3 is being generous and that’s is because it is a great game. And I understand the monetary aspect of these, I don’t have my head in the sand about that. At all! But when you have to spend over $50 to finish a game or 2 EVERY DAY that’s taking it to far. As with most of Zynga’s games I’ve played I’m finding greed is eventually outweighing the fun and I have to stop playing them all together.

Love the game but “customer support” is a joke. I love the game and have been playing since it first launched. It’s wonderful how it follows the movies and make the basic match 3 game more entertaining with unique power ups/challenges that come from the stories. However, I’ve learned my fellow players get the chance occasionally to watch video ads for extra moves after failing a puzzle. When I reach out to customer service to find out if I have a setting blocking those, I only get canned answers telling me to “watch for these opportunities as they are random” like I don’t know what I’m talking about when I say I’ve never been presented with this option even though I’ve been playing since day 1. I’ve tried getting through to customer service like three times this week, and never received anything except the same canned response. I support Zynga with my money but am fed up with customer service that can’t answer my actual questions and will likely change my support habits.

Amazing game! But I have some suggestions. This game is super fun! It is absolutely so beautifully done in detail and looks straight out of the movies! I love how the puzzles directly relate to scenes from the movies and how each one is an individual challenge. The amount of creativity poured into this app is insane. If I had to change just a few things, though, it would be that when you are gifted unlimited lives for a certain period of time, I wish that you could choose when to start the timer for it. Sometimes I open the app just to check in with my team or something, but then I’m suddenly gifted unlimited lives for 15 minutes and I have to drop everything I’m doing in order to try and make use of that 15 minutes at a super inconvenient time. Rather, I think it would be better if players could activate it themselves when ready. Also I wish we were awarded more coins because it feels as if they’re kind of hard to come by, especially since repurchasing power ups costs so many coins. Other than those things, I have zero complaints with this amazingly fun and entertaining app! Thank you Zynga for another amazing game!

Definitely fun, but with issues…. Updated - found fix to game crashing and not opening properly. There appears to be an issue with updating the game properly if you have the iOS 15 privacy browsing enabled. I don’t know if issue #3 has been addressed, but I don’t recall seeing as much, if any, of the repulsive ads that were being presented. I will update this when appropriate. I would give this a higher rating if but for a few particular issues. 1) Duplicate cards - the drop rates vs missing cards drops from the coin purchased card packs. Rumor was that the drop rates were increased, but I’m having a hard time believing it. 2) Prank Events - like others have mentioned, no one likes these events. 3) Ads Shown - this has been my gripe about many free games in that a lot of the ads are TRASHY/SLUTTY and shouldn’t be shown on an under 17, or at least under 12, year old game. This game is rated 4+. No child should have to see ANIMATED PORN on a 4+ rated free game!!!

Used to be 4-5 stars. I have been playing this app for some time now. One of the most recent updates did away with the progressive free play. Over the course of a week, daily check in built progressively longer minutes of free play. Now, there are only currently 6 free plays and no automatic free minutes on days 4-6. Honestly, when I sometimes have to play several HOURS to pass a single level, having only 6 free plays leads to a week on the same level. I understand the app is to make money (you do have advertisers for that also). However, many people do not have expendable income in which to purchase game play, I do not. I miss the progressive free minutes & having the “XP, bombs, etc” to replace the progressive minutes is a poor substitute. Not looking forward to playing the same level for a week or more because the progressive free play has been eliminated. Additionally, I would agree with another reviewer- earning duplicate cards for my collection is also getting old…it has been a terribly long time since I’ve earned a new card for my collection. Bring back the progressive free play minutes & increase frequency of new cards- even slightly would be great.

Used to be a daily play but not anymore. This game is gorgeous, fun, and has excellent Harry Potter nostalgia references. I used to make sure I logged in every day to keep up my streak, because I knew I’d get 15-45 minutes of unlimited lives. Now that Zynga has gotten rid of that option, I’ve lost that incentive. Something I love most about this game is the generous rewards, but watching them scale things back makes the game’s future look dismal. The developers should stop claiming this is to “improve game experience” because it makes no sense. No one wants this. No one hopes to lose out on higher rewards. No one is excited that our gameplay earns less than it did even a couple weeks ago. It only improves YOUR experience as developers because now you’re forcing people to have to pay for things we used to be able to earn with consistent play. If you’re going to try and justify it, then just be honest and say “we want more of your money.” Because I can’t see any other reason for this bizarre decision. My time spent playing has decreased quite a bit since this new update which is a bummer. This is a great game and will continue to be as long as Zynga and Portkey Games actually listen to user feedback and stop rolling back rewards. We’re begging you!

Great, great, great. Update: previous gave this game 4 stars! My club is not a fan of the most recent update. The magic strike used to clear just one gem. So if you had a gem bag and a lightning strike separated by one gem, you use the magic strike to bring them close together, then boom. Huge combined power-ups. Now the use of the magic strike clears everything around the gem selected. Terrible idea! There was nothing wrong with the way it worked before. Why are you guys overthinking this? Also, there are nearly enough lives provided in MOST of these puzzles once you get to the later ones. I’m on puzzle 964. Being strategic is something that needs to be done but that’s not enough. For the past few weeks it’s been taking me days to just get by one puzzle and my club feel the same way. The fun has been taken out of this game. Now onto the ranking. Why would you go from the top 5 being premoted to it not being just the top 3? Yet another area that had nothing wrong with it. It’s that much harder to get to the next league and on top of that there’s now this useless Mischief prank. I’m over the game now and really considering just deleting it.

Biggest issue in my opinion. So I love this game but my only issue is the fact that for the Clubs/Clans in the game if players aren’t active they just sit there. For example my club leader hasn’t been active for over a year and neither has the Officer, I feel like if players haven’t been online after a certain amount of time they should be booted from the club or at least have the leadership removed and passed on to someone else so that person can kick them out and make room for people who actually want to play the game and progress as a team Update so I play this game with my mom I have for the past 2-3 years we love the game but our biggest issue is still the clubs 29/30 people in our club and half of the including the leader and officer of our club have been inactive for such a long time we stand zero chance of progressing because of this. I have a hard time believing we are the only clan to have this problem. Sure the easiest path would be to ditch the club and move on but again I have a hard time believing we are the only people. My clan has at most 6 active players if that 6!!!! 29 people in my clan and only 6 of us are playing we can’t boot anyone to make space for more players we can’t do anything and honestly it’s kind of crappy. Highly doubt I’ll get any sort of reply to this though I didn’t last time 🤷‍♀️

New game changes. I used to love this game. It was challenging but still obtainable to beat levels and achieve goals. Now the developers only care about forcing people to buy coins, as it is the only way to beat some levels. With this latest update they have taken way the free game play when the day starts over…this was the only way a lot of people had enough lives to beat some of these challenging levels. Lives in this game are hard to come by and you don’t get to keep many in your bank. It’s just another feature people loved about the game that has been taken away to force people to buy coins. Club challenges are so difficult now that if you don’t have an full entire high level club playing you will never beat them all, and with all of the players that have quit and are filling club space it’s impossible to get new club members that are engaging. Please return the free daily game play or you will lose one more player if not many more.

Updated review!!. Aug 2022 Update. I still love this game. I love it even more that they changed the daily bonus structure to no actual incentive to play everyday. I’m spending way less time and money here daily. I used to play for my entire commute and then be so invested that I would buy so many extra coins to get more lives. Now I play my six. Die and come back whenever. I get to use other apps, play other games, and it’s been so freeing. This is a great game & it really benefits from the attention to detail. The Weasleys all look like Weasley’s, the Wizard’s chess pieces are such a great touch. I'm on level 1229, so clearly I love the game. My one gripe is sometimes the game fails to give me the starting time bonuses. I first login for the day and it will say 10mins unlimited lives. The 10 mins always fails to load. The 15 mins sometimes fails to load and the rest load with no problem. I spend an obscene amount of money on this game. It's such a negative experience to have them fail to give me something that was promised. It seems deceitful, and like it’s intentional in order to get me to spend money sooner than I would.

Support just gives canned responses. I am not advancing in my events due to 2 issues with ads: 1) ads failing to give credit after I’ve watched them and no chance to watch another ad (watching multiple ads in a row the Watch button is grayed out after I’ve watched the ad) and more infuriating 2) since two updates ago, an ad loads to a black screen and a small disclosure link for Vungle, Inc. There is nothing else to click and no way to get out of that screen except to hard close the app. So again not receiving credit or the opportunity to watch more ads. I’m on IPhone 11 Pro. I contacted Support within the game app and they just gave a canned response about my internet connection and wanted me to send screenshots of the ads I didn’t get credit for. So basically they want me to take screenshots of the Watch Ad screen, the ad itself, and the screen where I don’t get credit This is both time consuming and fills my phone’s memory. They gave no indication that they were notifying devs about the black screen. Game testing should catch the black screen, not players. Don’t farm this responsibility out to players.

no. I downloaded this second 2020 I was a big pothead but now I could say the opposite I'm not like Harry Potter at all. In fact, I realized they are teaching my children witchcraft. I don't know how I didn't realize this, but it is true they are dying. Their brains are decaying because of Harry Potter, I took them to Disneyland and I was shocked to see they didn't have Harry Potter world there. I asked the workers and they said because we're not in Harry Potter land. We are in Disney, but that is not the right answer the right answer is sorry man will get you tickets to Harry Potter land for free right now because you did pay for the Disney ones but no they didn't say that because you're youngsters are all sassy, what does it have to do with the game you ask well this game is about Harry Potter and so was that story so y'all just stay safe also it opens up your camera for no reason why does it open up your Camera for no reason I don't know to see my beautiful face probably stay safe and don't download this game

Gone downhill. I have been playing this game for quite some time - on level 2856 - and have some great pros and some major cons. Pros first - I like the variety of puzzles and the different “games” they feature to play. It adds some fun into the mix every so often. I like my group, however, only a few participate so getting lives can be a struggle. Finally, I like that the game is pretty easy to comprehend and it gives intro when coming in to contact with a new obstacle. Cons - the daily reward for “logging in and visiting” used to come with free play - apparently that’s gone which is super frustrating. I loved those free times on especially hard levels. Some of the powers you use in the game make no sense why they go where they go. For example you could need the pack of flowers and it may grab a singular color nearby that is needed and only hit maybe one of those flowers. Can be very frustrating when trying to beat a level. I should be able to determine where I want my game weapons to go.

You Are About to Lose a Customer…. Dear Zynga, Did you know that if you actually let players win few levels in a row on the first try you’ll make more money in the end? You do this for about 100 levels or so, and then you make it extremely frustrating for the player. I am good at these types of games, and when level after level requires multiple paid power-ups to beat them, players lose interest really fast. But, if you actually let players win more often in one or two tries, they will keep playing the game and pay for power ups in order to keep momentum. You are making it so difficult to pass levels that the game is no longer fun. This could be a five star game if you would balance the levels more. I’m tired of it and about to delete it for good. Test my theory and you will keep your customers and actually make more money in the end. If your players are constantly hitting a wall that takes multiple plays to finally conquer, they will lose interest and move onto games that provide more excitement. Excitement comes with winning often without breaking the bank every time.

There seem to be some technical issues. Having trouble getting game to load. When it does, it says it’s not connected to the internet, although I am, and my club info won’t load. Going back and forth with not loading, not being able to access club info or play daily - very frustrating. My internet is working for all my other apps and streaming services, so don’t think internet is the issue. I enjoy playing the game. The puzzles become more challenging, which is to be expected, although some have such limited available moves that it is virtually impossible to achieve the goals, collect a large number of a certain color gem without using multiple power ups and buying extra lives. My biggest issue though, is that after you collect enough stars to open a pack of cards, they are all duplicates. At least the last 4-5 times I haven’t received one new card. I only have three of the creatures, so it’s not like I have so many that only duplicates should keep coming up. I would like to get the limited time creature, but NO NEW CARDS EVER COME UP. This is extremely irritating, especially since it takes 50 duplicates to get a ‘new’ card. I don’t see how this benefits you as developers to turn off players over something like this.

Cheaters. I would love to give this game five stars but due to coming across so many cheaters and zynga not doing crap about them is so upsetting when someone has almost 20,000 trophies in less then 3 days then obviously they are cheating I spend over $100 a week usually more and play many many hours and have not come anywhere near this I can get around 2,000 trophies and I have a 95 win streak and when I see people with a thousand win streak or more and outrageous amount of trophies I report but this person who is making more then any other person and is making the amount of trophies an entire club of 30 makes in a week in just a couple days all by himself and has been making first place every week then somethings up and zynga ain’t doing their job this persons all time record is almost 40,000 trophies it’s so obvious that this person is cheating and zynga does nothing just says they take it seriously and cannot say what actions were or weren’t taken it’s to the point that I won’t be spending my money on this game until zynga bans benny he gets more trophies then others I have reported and were banned and I will keep reporting cheaters I hope everyone else does too mayb then zynga will stop being lazy and actually take us seriously we want a FAIR game zynga and until zynga starts getting actively involved in looking for and banning cheaters then this game will be just that a place where cheaters get away with cheating

You don’t have to be a Potter fan to enjoy the game!. I was babysitting a couple Harry Potter fans who kept wanting me to download the game. I was hesitant because I hadn’t even seen the movies. ( I must live under a rock, right?) This game got me hooked and now my favorite game. It even got me to watch the movies! Something I hope they fix is the ability to ban specific people from rejoining our club. We have a child (so he claims) that keeps rejoining our club unless we make it private. If it’s private then we can have new people join on their own. This child/person joins and doesn’t contribute to the team, we boot but then he immediately rejoins. We’ve booted him at least 10-15x and he just rejoins. His chat even discourages players from staying. In the meantime, he’s keeping the club full and unable to let a contributing person join. There needs to be a feature to ban unwanted people from rejoining clubs. People are removed from clubs for a specific reason but can just immediately rejoin again on their own. This can destroy a good club. I hope our reviews are monitored and our suggestions heard. If/when this is feature is added, I will fix my review. Ty!

Harry Potter Pranks and Irritation. So, I have been playing this game for at least 6 months and spent too much money on it for sure, but overall have enjoyed it. That is until they came up with a new feature: for a couple of days at a time, your puzzle wins earn you points to be able to play pranks on other teams. After the first prank event, my team just felt an annoyance from having other teams prank our team every few hours. How irritating. Someone in game development must have decided that the prank event was the best idea ever because suddenly there is a prank event every week. However, the other fun features like the card collecting and new levels have slowed down dramatically. I would like to express to the developers that prank events are annoying because they pit all of the teams against each other. And deciding to have prank events be the only interesting thing or event is just plain lazy. There are loads of different things that could be done, secret items hidden in games, duels, rewards. I always learned as a teacher and parent that punishment doesn’t motivate, positive reinforcement does. Why not try to add a reward event not a punishment one like the prank events?

Great game for the first 300 levels. Game is designed well and really fun for the first 300 or so levels. At around level 400 it becomes intensely frustrating. I’m almost at level 500 but nearly all the boards take over 10 tries to win. So you get stuck in the game and don’t go anywhere without buying special moves. These are too pricey, I’m not spending 1-2 dollars every time I get stuck on a board, especially when practically every board at this level requires you to either spend 20 minutes to beat it or 1-2 dollars. The group leader is over level 1000 so it’s not like I’m about to beat the game. Also the card collection only gives you duplicates after you win your first two pets, and it’s set up so you have to win 80 boards to get a new card. You need 6 for each pet and there are 7 different pets that are available. Short of it it’s okay to have a hard board that’s challenging to beat once in awhile but when it’s every single board the game is no longer fun. Also this has nothing to do with skills because I’m good at match 3 games.

Game Review. This game has changed significantly since I’ve started playing. It used to be fun but the Legends puzzles are ridiculously frustrating. It’s like you can’t breathe. Commercial ads that are meant to give you additional moves only show up when you don’t even have a chance of winning. The game recommends ages 4+. How is a 4 yr old supposed to achieve a level like the ones designed for Legends?!?! Really? I miss the old version of the game. I used to win coins and XP. I loved the boosters that emerge at the beginning of each puzzle and the boosters from the creatures. I also miss the daily unlimited lives you get when you first open the game. But a lot has changed. The regular puzzles are awesome but the Legends puzzles are too complicated for no reason. The puzzles for the Professors used to offer 4 chances; now it cut down to 3. How generous… I LOVE playing regular puzzles but until more of those come around, I just won’t play bc Legends is really annoying. I love Harry Potter, and sadly this game isn’t doing it justice anymore.

Great game, get rid of the spiders. Overall, this game is great. I normally get bored of other match 3 type games, seeing as they’re not interesting enough or at some point they’re the same thing over and over, but this game does a great job of keeping it new and interesting. What it doesn’t do a great job of? Oh my god the spiders. When the event hit me this week, I thought I could probably make it through the week, seeing as my arachnophobia is only mild and I’m generally fine with spiders as long as they don’t come near me or touch me. However, I was wrong. The spiders were too much for me, and I think I’ll have to sit this week out if this game legitimately causes me this much stress. According to other friends who play the game, the spiders make a reappearance later in the game, and at that point I don’t know what I’ll do. I also have many friends who are arachnophobic and play the game, and their arachnophobia is much worse than mine.I would like to make a request for the spiders to be eliminated, made less realistic, or at least add an option in the settings to replace them with harmless stand-ins. I would love to keep playing this game, I really would, but a game shouldn’t cause me this much stress.

Just Obsessed!. I absolutely love this game! I am the biggest Harry Potter fan in the world so when I found this game, I instantly got it. It is unlike all the other match-3 games since they all annoy you with deals which you have to pay for. This game is amazing and I totally recommend it! I just have one tiny issue though. There’s just so many notifications. Every like two hours I’ll get a notification and it’s a bit annoying but other than that, this app is incredible!

Great, but....... I love this game and can’t wait for new levels to be released. The only thing I find VERY frustrating is that while I’m waiting for new levels I can’t do anything. I would love to go back and try to perhaps better my score or just re-play some levels so I can continue enjoying the game and possibly achieve some of the challenges to to us. It’s also annoying when one of the challenges is to reach a certain level and that level hasn’t been released yet. Please do something about this because I find the game a lot of fun.

Game had lost my progress. I had to delete it from my phone because it had lost all of my progress from it. I was on like 352. I also had restarted my phone and it still didn’t help. So I had just removed the whole thing. Why would this game do such a thing. I’m NOT restarting the game from scratch.

Ummm.... Mostly great and I really enjoy it, but the most recent update. You added new avatar stuff, but got rid of the original features. When I opened the game after updating, my avatar was completely different. What’s the point of completely changing all the avatar features? Why get rid of previous choices?

Love it but glitchy. I really love this game. I downloaded it for my son but he wasn’t interested so I played instead. I love the daily challenges, I love the competitive nature of the team challenges. I love that unless you want to buy extra moves there are almost no ads. What I don’t love is the glitching. If I receive a text or call during play, when I return to the game, it freezes and no move can be made. If I choose to play on and watch an ad, I have to watch ad, but am not rewarded with extra moves and forfeit that life. Please fix glitches!!!🙏🙏🙏

Crashing. I have been playing this wonderful game for some time now. Recently I have completed the daily puzzle and all I get is connection lost instead of the 21 trophy’s. Also says that I will not loose a life but I do. This has happened over the last couple of days. Every other puzzle task is okay.

How d’ya spell wand. Those winged keys remind me of the butterflies in another of Zynga’s games. TRAITORS. Make sure you lose the first game and then helped along in subsequent games to win. Each game followed by a full blown video ad of more time wasting rubbish I don’t want.I play these games to sharpen my brain. I think you want me to sharpen my knives. Zynga, you spend so much creativity on your music, graphics and action and then ruin it with those retarded winged keys. I don’t care anymore. I’ll wanda off for a spell.

Great Game but no new levels. So I got really excited this morning when I saw there was an update that promised new and exciting levels to play etc. only to find there is no new levels at all. Was obviously really enjoying the game (progressed quickly through to level 385) but now I’m at a stand still for days on end. It will be a shame to lose interest while waiting, but really no choice but to look elsewhere for something to play at this stage.

This but more of it!. Need more new levels! I was totally hooked, until I ran out of levels to play. And again run out a day after they release the next 20. I wish they would scrap some of the extra stuff (eg the card collecting) at least until they have many more actual playable levels (the bit we’re here for). I didn’t pay any actual money, and wouldn’t agree with reviewers who say some levels aren’t playable without buying powerups. I would be happy to watch ads to earn lives or extra moves, but that’s not a feature of this game.

Spoiled by Mischief Event. This was a good game; more interesting than the usual match three style game with its various spells and effects adding to game play. However, they recently introduced a “Magical Mischief” event, where random players from other clubs steal your power ups, and points from your club. If your is club is ahead, you get absolutely trashed by others. Members of my club agree that they hate it. It becomes a form of bullying, and has ruined the game.

One last review and I’m delete this game. Been playing this game for a long time and currently at puzzle 2866. This game gets more and more frustrating. 1. When you get a 15 minutes free lives, you are about to stuck at that puzzle in the whole 15 minutes. If you get 30 minutes free lives and you are stuck at the puzzle for whole 30 minutes. This goes on no matter 15, 30, or an hour, you will always stuck in that puzzle like an eternity loop. 2. When you left just few move to complete the puzzle, the +3 ads definitely won’t pop up, however if you left more than 5 moves, the +3 ads most likely will pop up every time. Even though you watch the ads, when you finish watched it the game will most likely to freeze and stuck at there no responding. 3. On the previous puzzle, even the hard one, you try about 6 or 7 times you can easily complete it. But I found out after puzzle 2500, besides the free unlimited live, you are about to spend on average 20 times in order to complete a normal puzzle. If on hard one, it’s about average 40 times in order to complete it. This game was really fun to me at first but until recently the game design really makes me no motivate to open it anymore. Really hope that developers can improve it and makes people to have fun instead of frustrating.

Love this game but i found an issue with level 204. So I’ve been playing this game non stop and I really enjoy the game I have seen no problems until now, I’m currently on level 204 and I was almost finished with it when I stumbled upon a little bug with the rememball which prevented it from being damaged by ANYTHING I don’t know why this I’m sure it will only happen once but I’m sure you’ll get it fixed I just thought I would write a review to prevent this from happening to anyone else thanks.

!!!!GREAT DOWNLOAD!!!!. I LOVE THIS GAME! The graphic are to die for! I’ve only been playing this game for a little while and I’ve already obsessed with it! I’m pretty sure that whatever house you choose it effects the story line, I chose Ravenclaw and Hagrid at the start game me a BLUE box and said something like this: “Don’t ask me how to open it, but I’m sure you Ravenclaw can figure it out!”. Like I said I’ve been playing this game for not that long but I think that the developers have put a lot of time and effort into the storyline. They even added in Hagrid’s language!!!! The “puzzles” are also fun and easy, this game is quite original in my opinion In most pizzle/story games it’s always: complete the puzzle so you can choose a fountain! No! No! No, this app just gives you XP to lvl up and to get to the next part of the story. The characters look very similar to the actual characters in the movie. 120MILLION% SURE YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!

Time to quit. I gave it a shot. The animations are good and it gives that exploding gems rush. But it is buggy, and all I get from support is “sorry to hear that”. The people in my guild who have finished the levels say there’s nothing to do and it drops us in the rankings. And after logging in every day for a week to win an owl, it didn’t get awarded but still sits there on my screen mocking me. But of course the support team are right and I “must have” missed a day. What shall I waste my time with next?

Have to read great facts about this app 😊. This game is the best game I’ve ever played,obviously it’s just like the real Harry Potter! Now me and my friends know real spells and we play some Harry Potter games in real life and say the spells! Love it or hate it but it’s amazing!!! 😍😍😍 (I AM SOoooo satisfiedddddd))) you guys did a great job.. literally you should really get more love! You are great developers

Unfortunate Update. Was quite impressed with how generous, balanced and well thought out this game was. However, a couple of minor changes have made it significantly harder if you don’t buy currency. The Creature Meter which slowly fills allowing a special move, now resets each session. Also, only an officer or leader are able to launch the daily puzzle (MVP used to be able to launch it as well but this has been removed). It’s no fun being stuck on the same level for days waiting to get ridiculously lucky to get through.

A Great Find!. To see a mobile game like this in 2020 is almost unheard of. Most mobile games are swimming in Ads and practically begging you to pay them non-stop, or annoying you in some kind of way but this game does nothing like that. It’s just so fun to play and relaxing when you just want to pass the time or are bored. There’s absolutely no Ads and even though most people have probably played a “Bejeweled-like game” at this point, the different levels that you experience in this game that frequently change up the gameplay and keep you thinking are a really welcome edition to the genre, as well as the different themed power-ups you get for matching bricks in various ways that end up giving you that exciting feeling of finishing a level when you thought you wouldn’t make it and ran out of moves but a ‘Winged Key’ you used got the last piece you needed. There’s also an element of competition and sportsmanship when it comes to the ‘Club’ aspect where you can form clubs and compete to be Promoted or Demoted each week depending on how many trophies your club earns, this allows for you and friends to help each other compete on a leaderboard and send each other lives if you are struggling on certain puzzles. All in all, I would highly recommend this game and I’m sure any Harry Potter fan will find something they like about it and enjoy moving up through the levels and through scenes of the story.

IMPOSSIBLE!!! unless your willing to pay mega $$$$$$$. I was loving this game, and I realise that the higher levels you go the more difficult it is. But this game rips you off, it’s so frustrating. The gem counter for what is required to complete the level, I was specifically watching how many I needed, when I removed the gems the counter didn’t take those gems off! Even when I filled the bag with gems, the counter STILL stayed the same, and you wonder why it’s taking sooooooo long to get not past a level, just get past ONE game ! The bombs too are SO inconsistent sometimes they blow a lot away other times it hardly makes an impact. Developers PLEASE MAKE UP YOUR MIND WHAT YOU WANT MAGICAL ITEMS TO DO! same with the candles, sometimes the light up others they don’t. The amount of times ONE item is left is just crazy, trying to frustrate you into spending money, but for me, it just frustrates me into not wanting to bother with the useless game anymore. Don’t bother with downloading this game it’s a time waste4 that just frustrates! I would have rated this 5 stars a week ago, so glad I waited to see what it’s really like……

Love it. But.... I love this game. Love my club. Love the rewards. This game has the potential to be a 5 star game for sure!! ...But, due to the lack of new levels released, the annoying fact that you cannot replay old levels like all other games resulting in 4-5 days of being able to do absolutely nothing, I’m afraid this will wear thin fairly soon. Such a pity.:(

A minor downside. Harry Potter: Puzzles and Spells is a great game, which is. A must-have for all Harry Potter fans. If I were to write this review yesterday, I would give it 5 stars, though that changed after its update. A negative attribute to the update, (which I doubt most people would care about) is that now you do not have the freedom of choosing your avatar exactly how you like it. One noticeable change is smiles, skin colour and hair. I am not going to get in-depth into everything that has changed in the avatar, but the worst has to be the smiles. Many smiles which were possible before have been removed. Other than that, it’s a great game without any advertisements and without the games constantly begging you to but in-app purchases.

Best HP Game Yet. Love this game! Have been hooked for the last week or so - however have completed all I can and waiting for a new update and more levels! However would love the option to be able to still complete daily tasks with no new levels, maybe allow replay of passed levels? And also, more quills to do the classes please!!

Fantastic, however more than a few hiccups.... The graphics and sound effects are brilliant. Smooth transitions, challenging and creative puzzles. Overall great game play. However, a few niggling things stop this game from being a solid five stars for me. As other players have observed, the levels available to play per week are a relatively small quantity... Waiting four days for *any* play is way too much time to wait to be continually invested, no play means to also miss out on the abundance of events and rewards. Team tier promotions are fun and collaborative, but not being to help your team when you’ve exhausted your levels is very disappointing as a player. It all seems like punishment for doing well. Some other games I know have you repeat levels so a player would still be able to play and participate. This game seems to just stop you at a grinding halt for days. Inconsistent clearing of gems/ices with bombs and bomb+lighting combo is irritating but tolerable. Couple of specific instances though, upon starting a new puzzle level, the board was up and suddenly the “Cannot load puzzle [number]” notification popped up, thus forcing me to return to the main screen and losing a life. Very, very frustrating.

Love this game but a glitch has developed. I am totally into this game and play everyday. However a glitch has occurred so now none of the video adds play to get extra time etc. Instead I get a black screen and I can’t get out of it unless I turn off my device and do a restart, so frustrating….

Beware parents of young children. I have tried to communicate with Zynga about the inappropriate content of an advertisement that can be viewed during the game. It is entirely unsuitable for any child under 12. And is rated for that so should not be used for Harry Potter games as they are rated for children 4 years old. I personally LOVE the game though it’s great fun.

Not enough content. It was really fun, but I maxed out in just over a week. Needs A LOT more levels. At least let us replay levels so we have something to do while we wait. Also needs club rankings, I want to see how my team is doing against others

This is a great game because. Well, firstly an important part of any game is how many ads they put in between every move. This game, I am very happy to say, has no ads. I can glide through the game and really enjoy playing it, and not having to stop and wait for each boring ad to finish with its complete nonsense. Another thing is, with most match games, you only match and that’s it. With this game, there are a range of things to do, which is really exciting. Although, maybe different types of puzzles like mystery or maybe find the object would do more than just top this game off. Thanks for reading!

Marvellous graphics.. I now play this instead of candy crush. I only go back when I have run out of levels. You have defiantly made this an interesting game. And I especially like no adds. I would love to be able to go back and re try old levels though.

I love this game. You know when people open their vault, well I was wondering if you could make it so when people open their vault, there would be one or two minutes until they can open their vault again.

Love the game, adds 🤬. Love the game, although there’s a new feature to gain +3 turns if you watch an add. Which has been fine so far till tonight, I often play before bed and the add that came up was for some zombie game and really scared me I turned it off after a few seconds but now it’s stuck in my head. Definitely won’t be using this feature again as I’m terrified there will be another scary add like that! And given the game is age 4+ there really shouldn’t be adds like that displayed, If me, an adult is this scared from it I can only imagine how a young child would feel.

.. Love the game, I think it’s really cool, levels are a bit to easy but it’s not a problem The only thing I’m having a problem with is, I have it on my phone and I’ve connected my Facebook, and now I have it on my iPad but when I connect my Facebook with my iPad to recover my progress it comes up with that there’s a new update and I have to update it but there no update sooo I can’t play it on my iPad

Don’t get manipulated by this game. At the start of this game, it was so addictive. However, when you continue on your trip in this game it will be came a sweet trap to harvest your time, emotions and money. There are some impossible designs. some of them I had tried so many times but still had no chance. In this case you might spent hours and hours but only had very limited progress. Strong feeling of frustrating when I can’t even do the daily tasks. Highly doubt there are some algorithms for adjusting difficulty by controlling the generation of blocks and items to break the winning streak. There are so many times when I had more than 10 steps left and all obstacles cleared but the key items just didn’t show up, so I have to use coins to add extra 5 steps otherwise my winning streak will get break. Some puzzles they put “difficult” sign on but usually you will get trapped by those “normal” puzzles which is even more ridiculous. All in all, really bad design for some puzzles with emotional manipulating algorithms. When you can’t feel happy from this game any more just DELETE it, cuz is not worth for your time and effort.

Suggestion to change please. I love this game but it would be great if you had a confirm option before coins were used to continue the game. Sometimes one bumps the coins at the end of a puzzle and didn’t want to use the coins. You have a confirm on using the creature, so why not the coins? Thank you. Otherwise, great game!!

Very good but not quite 5 star. I’d say that waiting for the hearts or level challenges is a pain and is the only thing that makes this game not quite 5 stars. Graphics are AMAZING, sound is great everything is amazing but the heart and challenge/lesson of the day is a waist of time and I can’t wait to be able to play when that is removed because it’s completely pointless

Ok at first then just frustrating. On the easier levels it’s ok, but quite frustrating on the more difficult games - you wait for the items to become available that you need to get rid of - and they just don’t appear! Unless you want to spend a lot of money, which I won’t, after a while I found it more frustrating than enjoyable. Join a team and watch them get regularly DEMOTED! Not exactly encouraging to players.

Harry Potter Master Peice. I think this game is quite enjoyable for all ages as well as having fun puzzles it has spells and magical creatures. Harry Potter books and movies are quite popular now so a Harry Potter game is quite creative, I read the books myself and I think they got everything right. I love how they let you choose your own house, wand and avatar, my point in general is that I enjoy this game and I am sure others will too. 😘

Love the game, couple slight issues. First, great game. Brilliant. My only issues are: the card packs. I continuously get duplicates, even in the duplicate card star packs. It’s frustrating when you’re trying to unlock new pets. And the second is the character outfits. After an update last year, i was left with 3 outfits, only one of which suits a male character. Before the update i had them all. Apart from those two issues, it’s great

I’m back 😑. Ok, so this game is very addictive and I have found it more fun as I have kept playing but there a still a lot of things you could add .first of all this is HARRY POTTER we are talking about! The best movies in the whole entire world and universe and all the above! You don’t want this to just be like a regular matching game do you? Since you have your own avatar and everything, after you complete a sene of the game a story can happen with you in it! Like Harry Potter hogwarts: mystery. For example after you finish the potion class special event thingy there could be a story like you sneak into snapes offence to get a book and you ( by mistake) knock over one of his picture frames! He gets mad and you get detention. See? It sounds better already! That’s all I’m out *dabb* ✌️

Love this game but could be better. This is the only game I can play each day for hours without feeling bored. Love the HP references and the graphics. I wish it included an option to play older levels, once you catch up with all the released levels there’s nothing to do really. Need to wait for Tuesday for the quill events to come back on, this means nothing on the weekends which is when I generally have lot of free time. No replays means no way to gain xp or get new star packs for new creatures. Another thing with star packs is after you get the brown rat and the ones with gold, it seems that you will only get duplicates. The only way to get a new one seems to be is to have a full duplicate album which is a lot of levels to clear. And once you catch up with all the levels, it’s really hard to get a full duplicate pack with just 20 levels each week. I do feel like there are very less boosters that we can get for free but I don’t really use them so that’s not a big concern. But I really wish there was a “confirm” option before you use 900 gold for extra moves or buying card packs. Sometimes you press it by mistake and that’s it, all your hard earned gold gone.

Amazing game but developers do not respond to problems in the game. The game itself is very enjoyable and highly addictive. It’s fun to play and the special events are really well designed. There are some minor glitches which are addressed in the website (adds not loading etc). However, I have been experiencing a glitch in the “special delivery” event and have contacted the developer last time this event was on and now again and have gotten no answer. The first time I was told to restart the game and when I said I had done so I did not receive any response. Now there was no answer at all. It is very frustrating to reach out to the developers and receive no answer or solution to the problem. Again, great game otherwise.

Awesome!. I love this game, I was obsessed as soon as I started. It’s unlike other match 3 games because it actually makes me feel like I’m reliving parts of the movies. Obviously I am up to date with the levels and its frustrating that only 30 new levels come out each week and I can’t contribute to helping my club move up the ranks, and I’ve also completed the potions segment of the puzzles and they are still to be replaced by another class. I’m super excited for what’s to come and I can see myself playing this game for years to come. Not to mention, no ADS!!!! How cool is that. It’s also not necessary to buy any in-app purchases to succeed. Some levels take ages but you just need perseverance. I think there needs to be more ways to earn power ups that can be used during the puzzle, as there’s almost no way to get them and they would be extremely helpful towards the end of some levels.

Lots of bugs. What a fantastic game, love the graphics etc and some puzzles can be a brain teaser BUT when you watch a 30 second video you would expect to get your 3 extra moves. Also and this is the big bug bare when you play quidditch and win but don’t get you trophies that can make or break you going up a level. Most frustrating!!

More levels and cards. It has been a week since I have been able to play. Instead of making us wait and lose interest, you need the option to replay levels and do daily tasks. Also sick of getting duplicate cards. It would be a good game with no adds but about to delete from my device.

Good, when it actually lets you play. When you’re actually able to play the game, it’s very enjoyable, how ever long and drawn out wait times for new levels to be released means that you spend days without being able to complete challenges and make progress both in the game and the new leagues feature. Overall, they have made this largely unplayable now that I have progressed to higher levels. Not able to replay levels, even spending money in the game doesn’t stop the constant barrage of duplicate cards, and often times when trying to use the power ups that I have spent real world dollars on, the game simply takes them, without allowing them to be used. A game that started as a fun challenge has turned in to a waste of time and money. Super disappointing at the end of the day.

Amazing. This game is so much fun and not the money grabbing-ad saturated kind of mobile game most are used to. There’s always something to do and new adventures. Great work! NB: Only qualm is that if your club Leaders or Officers are no longer active in the game there is no way of changing this to another active player. Also, there are some glitches including club level rankings appearing incorrectly and also the club MVP is sometimes unable to activate the daily puzzle.

Dishonest & Arrogant.. Don’t make the mistake of going into this game thinking it will be fun long term. It most definitely will not. The developer codes the game so it is now a watch advert to complete levels kinda situation thereby earning themselves money. The game is full of bugs they refuse to fix (for years) but continue to pump out updates making it harder to clear levels without parting with real money. They lie to you when you contact support and when you hold them accountable they shut down the conversation. Everything Zynga touches turns to excrement. Worst developer ever.

Refreshing. I love this game!! It’s so relaxing to play with no stupid ads interrupting all the time and no constant asking for money. You can play this game easily without having to spend a cent or if you choose to you can buy stuff. But to reach each level you don’t HAVE to if you don’t want. CongratulTions to the creators of this game.. challenging , enjoyable and creative ... fantastic.. highly recommend!!

Great game. I have been playing this game for some time now and I love it. Especially as I am in a really supportive team who communicate well and pass on congratulations for personal achievements, and give tips and reminders to each other. The creators are always finding ways to add interest and stimulate our competitive spirit.

Over and out. After 1338 wins, 28,000 losses, and a scary amount of $, I am finally deleting this app. Beautifully made, with great imagination, music, side contests, and clever detail - it is still all about taking your money. The higher you go, the more impossible it is to win without buying more and more; and even then the bombs and bags are rigged to ensure you spend your entire ‘free play’ time losing the same puzzle 30 times over. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP unless you have unlimited income and unlimited time to lose your money. It is brilliantly addictive until it becomes endlessly frustrating. Why did I get sucked in for so long? Because that’s what they have designed it to do. Beware, beware. It will impoverish you.

Overall a fairly solid and fun game. As far as I can see so far it’s all free to play. I’ve only cleared first 9-10 levels and am character level 2, so not yet so far into it as to have unlocked all gameplay, yet still far enough to see that the basic level of gameplay is both free to play and ad free! It’s obviously a fair bit repetitive as are most of these types of games but it’s enjoyable broken up with new character interactions and pleasantly nostalgic cut scenes in between puzzle rounds. If I had to give it a score out of 10 I’d probably land around a 7.5/10 then add another point for being Harry Potter related, finishing on an 8.5/10 for ad free, wholesome, simple game that helps take your mind off things after a long day or when you’re too stressed to otherwise focus. Can’t wait to keep playing and see what’s next, so back to it.

It’s WONDERFUL, HARRY!. It’s my go to game, mornings, afternoons and evenings! I have been playing for 3 years and seeing how my team mates are going is great fun too. Graphics, characters, voices, spells, and the accompanying magnificent soundtrack make me feel like I’m wandering around the theme park or reliving the movies. All our favourites are in it and did I mention it’s the best free game with no annoying time wasting ads? I especially love the forest levels and the different realm we enter to play both individually and as a team. How can you go past the graphics of spiders ugggghh, Mischief Managed and those footsteps are adorable as are the Cornish Pixies and they are by far my favourite. Love the trolls and the voices of Harry Hermione Ron and all the gang. Collecting cards is great too. And all the magical treats along the way as you venture up the levels. I really miss some scenes and that would be a great option. I’d love more access to free power-ups as I’m so frugal with using them. Most of all though… well that is hard to say… because EVERY part of this game is sensational! I highly recommend it!Turn the volume up and ENJOY peeps!

Great but challenging. This game was great super fun to play and hope many other harry potter fans will too! Although I noticed once I got to puzzle too 200 it got quite challenging I think there should be a few new boosts to help out beginners. It was Great!

AWESOME!!!!!. This is the best game ever!!!!!

Free lives. It’s really upsetting you took away the free lives for playing everyday! Not cool! :(

Glitches!. I’ve been playing this game for well over 2 years and what started out as an awesome game for Harry Potter fans, has slowly deteriorated and has become a game full of glitches. Like many others have said: - watch ad for 3 extra moves constantly glitches; you also max out on these per day - club maze is often never there on start-up - gifts that friends sent disappear before the expiry date (btw, friends have to actually pay real money for these gifts too) - the algorithms for certain items have serious flaws (i.e. keys targeting priorities need to be looked at to actually help you complete the level; key-bombs always targeting the corners so very little damage gets done to the game board) - news/announcements are hidden under support—why not send news to people’s inboxes so we can be made more aware of changes to the game? - events are not rolled out amongst ALL players; for example new creatures will be released and made available to a small number of players first with other players seeing their teammates unlock new creatures while this is not available at all to them yet. Why aren’t all events just rolled out to everyone at the same time? - lastly, and what I find to be most disappointing is that when you report an issue, you get the same canned response from the developers with no actual solution or compensation (for lost items if any). I’ve reported three issues and based on these completely unhelpful responses, I’ll no longer be playing this game. This game needs a complete overhaul with new developers who actually care about the in-game experience!

Beware of buying anything. Do NOT buy anything as they will double charge you and it’s impossible to get money back They will add charges and apple support will not help

Not Enough Free Chances. Great graphics. But not nearly enough free items.

A tired take on match three. There is nothing special about this game. It is a shameless money grabber, full of flashing lights, and packed full of “tasks” designed to encourage you to spend more cash. It’s pretty telling that Warner Brothers and Rowling are trying to milk the HP license for all it’s worth. Save yourself the time and skip this one.

It’s good until..... You run out of levels! So, you’re doing well, join a club, gain trophies and get into emerald tier! Then you run out of levels and then game isn’t fun anymore. If your lucky they release levels every week... if you not the wait is worse. Sooo no point in trying to compete for tiers. If you play for fun, but the fun runs out...quickly. Word to the creators, you should have finished levels for at least the first two movies before releasing.

Another Zynga game. One of the worst developers for mobile games out there. As soon as I saw the Zynga pop up I deleted this game.

Limited play. This is a great game but once you reach the limit of levels to play (which doesn’t take long because it addictive) you are stuck waiting a week or Ionger for new levels to open up. You can join teams and earn bonuses so when you can’t play it is very frustrating because it brings your standings down and if there is 30 min unlimited lives, you can’t take advantage of it. Fun while it lasts.

Freezes. The app freezes often and needs to be coded and opened again. Very frustrating.

Nearly time to delete game. One minute ads. And I have repeatedly watched ads to get extra turns, then get a black screen with an X I cannot use to close the ad, no matter how long I leave it up. It has meant multiple replays of the same level. After all this time, I am nearly ready to delete my Zynga games. Way to go. I also will never install Royal Match/Kingdom because of how often you show their overly long ads.

Set up to make you pay!. 12 updates since I started playing listed on my version history. Personally keeps getting worse with updates. Set up to make you pay. Some teams have extra players which is unfair for promotions. Some teams have players that get to play beyond the levels released because they are team testers but their levels count for team stats. In my own house we have three players and the cost to purchase things is different for some of us. I’ve dealt with a lot of glitches. It is a fun and addictive game but honestly is a money racket.

Freezing. Please fix the freezing it’s really frustrating when you do so well in a puzzle and the game suddenly freezes - on top of that you lose a heart. Otherwise, it’s a good game and a great time waster.

Game crashed. Got to puzzle 100 and then it froze. I had to reinstall and lost everything. All that progress gone. A wasted effort.

Game 791. Horrible with little chance of winning that one. Not really sure about what is happening. I just hope that the laws of probability eventually work in my favour or I might just look for another game.

Awesome. u dont have to pay to play, u can buy extra add ons but not necessary so i rlly like that. Super fun game

Free lives for playing. I used to love this game and have been playing it for ages. Why did you take away free lives for playing every day?? So disappointed!! Not cool, not cool!!

😡Be aware of unauthorized in app purchases. I enjoyed playing this game for awhile - but was charged fraudulently for an in-app purchase LONG after I had stopped playing and had deleted the App from my iphone. Apple support would not refund my money.

Great game but bug. So I am really liking this game it doesn’t force ads down your throat like other games. In fact the only ads you get are in exchange for more moves. However I have to bring up a bug where I watch a full ad and get no moves instead the sound cuts out and won’t start again until I start another level. Also the inability to control when you free unlimited playtime activates is annoying but I guess that is a business choice.

Not fun anymore. The game used to get the option to watch videos at the end of levels to get extra moves and since I bought something in game for real money, they removed that option and are instead bugging me for more money. Tried to contact customer service but they don't get it or understand. They kept saying that ads ar "random". NO, I'm still getting ALL of the other ads. It's been months now and the option for free moves at the end of levels if completely gone. It's too hard to play now. Unless you spend more money.... so that's why the option is gone🙄

Alot of problem. This game could be really nice, there is way too many bug... The ranking system get you demoted if you win, promised prizes are remove from your inventory, half of your team located in a rank and the rest in another. You write to the company and they say that they will respond within 24 hours but in reality if you wait a month you are lucky, the lack of professionalism is almost awkward at this point, we speaking about a candy crush type game, imagine being a company that can’t run this kind of game, shame.

Change to daily bonuses. Why the change to the daily bonuses? Major downgrade, no unlimited lives for any amount of time? No incentive for me to play daily with the current daily “bonus”!

Another Game Bites the Duat. Another game bites the dust. Cant win unless you pay. Too bad, so long.

Need to iron out bugs. Game is enjoyable and the programming seems to operate fairly. Bugs surround the video advertising interface. Videos often kill sound once finished and occasionally do not provide the reward after viewing.

Apple is worse than drug dealers. Apple is worse than drug dealers because they sell to kids. They give the games for free. Then they hit you with In Apps Purchases.

Fun game,. One improvement in an update I would suggest is the ability to cast spells in any puzzle. You collect spells but can only use them in puzzles that require them, having the ability to collect silver balls and then choose to use any learned spell in any puzzle would be awesome. Choosing the right spell and knowing your spells could make really tough puzzles easier to pass.

A warning about buying anything ingame. A fair warning to people who buy coins and/or the season premium pass, I did months ago and no longer get the “watch videos for 3 moves”. I want that option back please!

It keeps getting worse. The money-hungry game runners keep making the game worse. Taking away our creature benefits in Quidditch, and now not allowing us to use in-game coins to purchase the monthly seasons pass? But only some of us lol. Because with Zynga’s “slow roll outs” they mess with the features by experimenting with part of their player population. I’m a leader of a Fire Diamond3/Champions Arena club, and I’m fed up. You want to add things to the game, great! Stop taking away things that made the game fun.

Order of griffin. Best game around . Love my team .

Much better. They have fixed many bugs thank you very much

Ok. Many puzzles do not have enough shots or the shots you can do, do not advance you in solving it just another way to get people to spend dollars on the game

AMAZING I don’t know why there are bad reviews on this app. Just like what the title says I don’t know why there’s so much hate on this app

Multiples are not being counted. It’s crazy that the developer has not fixed this yet . Multiples are not being counted meaning you cannot met the objectives of a level . Step one: fix, step two: it, step three: fix it. Repeat steps one through three until it’s fixed!

🥺. 2 day in waiting for new levels r teem dropped zones

Harry Potter game. Interesting and goes quick

March 17,2024 - your ads don’t work anymore. March 17,2024 - your ads don’t work anymore

good game but stop the trashy ads please. this is a children’s game and should not be showing misogynistic ads about “how to dress to steal a man” and “gee i’m ugly and need fixing”.

Good start. Then ..... First hundred levels are fun and not too difficult. Then the game just stops giving you coins and boosters. And the levels get repetitive and terribly difficult.

Pay to win. Pro: lots of levels Cons: pay to win, literally trying levels 100 times before passing, promotions not long enough to achieve all, asking for lives caps at 3 even if saving up, no team control over group (cleanup of abandoned accounts, when team challenge starts), not able to earn anything for team if stuck on a level even if playing actively, quills don’t regenerate fast enough to be able to complete challenges and if you beat all you can’t do the next one until it’s special day, hundreds of duplicate cards even if spending gold, can’t get past cat even at game 350, can’t get special animals. I want to keep playing but BYE!

Take your money. They are happy to take your money, but heaven forbid if something goes wrong they will give out a poor excuse of why they can’t fix the issue!!!

Poor planning. The game has clubs you can join or make and if you are at the last puzzle available, you can’t help your club with points. The game won’t let you play old levels to help either so your kinda stuck getting very little points and never getting the club mvp. Plus you get tasks to complete to get coins but you can’t do them because you have no levels to play. Seriously broken when you get to this point.

Lol. This is the best game I’ve played in years and I’m still playing it to this day

Fun ends abruptly. Very fun game, but once you reach the puzzle cap you might as well uninstall. Haven’t been able to play this game for weeks now. Why not let us replay scenes for 1 trophy instead of 3?

Very good. Sometimes takes forever to load but the graphics are great.

There is no vault for free daily gold. Gold! Tap the Shop button, then scroll down to the bottom to see the Gold Vault. Don't forget to claim yours This is missing

Harry Potter 💟. Great for Harry Potter fans.

Lost all progress in n my game.. I was on level 199. I was playing today and then went to play again and my game was no longer loaded and I lost all my progress. I was put back to level one and am expected to start over a gain. I would like my progress back.

Great game except the greedy in game purchases. I love the gave other than the hideous profiteering why can’t game developers offer a one time price and enjoy! Every game I play these days has in game purchases asking for 10’s to 100’s dollars to keep playing how hideously greedy! They should be ashamed!

Won’t let. Me play any. More.. Tell. Me to update but when I try to update. It takes me to the App Store on iPad and does not show update. In App Store

Great. It’s just such a great game! Not ordinary match up three. Lots of imagination. Thinking about what moves to make. I really like that the club mates can and also playing together as a group of players that become friends. That’s great because there’s more corporation, which makes it a lot more fun. Best game I’ve ever played. I do agree that the pranks can go. I read that another player thought that he had very good points with his ideas of why pranks should be left out. Otherwise I think this game is brilliant! They have put a lot of details and work into the game so it’s always interesting, changing, fun, and friends. It definitely is like Hogwarts. Thank you game makers! Support is brilliant! Kind, patient, very helpful. Thank you for your help and kindness support.

Disappointing and frustrating. The game has a lot going for it, but has a lot going against it too. Almost every puzzle is geared for you to spend money, and what you get for your money is not that much extra play time. There’s some problems with the puzzle board too. When I want to employ a bomb, for instance, it doesn’t go where I place it, it goes the wrong way, either up or over where I didn’t put it. And it does it frequently, not just with bombs, but most everything that is a special play. Also, when you first log on, the game gives you free play time. Every day the free play time increases, however, it doesn’t work. I was supposed to get free 10 minutes this morning and of course, it didn’t work...again! Other than that, it has good reaction time, good graphics and many things going on at the same time. If you want to keep your money in your pocket, steer clear of this one.

Perfect game, except two things.. I think this game is amazing. The difficulty (once you get deep in the game) is hard enough where it may take 10 tries at a level, but rarely more than that. Usually an easier level follows the tougher ones. They have a magical creatures section that requires you to unlock cards, which unlock characters that help you in the game. I’m on level 650 and still only have 3 unlocked. It takes a BRUTAL long time to unlock. I’ve seen a common comment I agree with though. I wish you could choose when to redeem your unlimited lives time. Sometimes I’ll be playing for 30 minutes or so before bed then get an hour of unlimited lives. I wish you could choose when to start that clock, even if it expired within a day.

Wanted to love it. I’m really rather bummed. I played for 2 days and I was loving it. I made some good progress, into the 50’s on level, but then I opened on my third day and got an in-game notification. It said I’d reached a high enough level to unlock something with professors. It automatically took me to a different screen then glitched, saying “click here” but then froze. There was nothing to click and I couldn’t exit the notification screen. I uninstalled the app, but when I reinstalled I had to completely start over again. Now that I’ve had to restart the game entirely, I’m annoyed at the forced tutorials for every new puzzle feature, on top of my general irritation at losing all my progress. And I’m afraid that notification is going to pop up again once I meet my previous level. I loved the puzzles, art, features, music, and everything HP related. Just bummed about the development and bugs.

Great game with limited opportunities!. I was so excited when I saw Harry Potter themed game and started playing immediately. It’s great in portraying different characters and story. Love the classes concept, going through different classes Monday through Thursday with an ability to upgrade spells, love the idea of collecting cards to open a characters. However, it is pretty frustrating that there are so many duplicates, whats funny is that I have to go through 50 duplicates to even open a Common card! I have close to 6 Character cards that are just waiting for 1 or 2 cards. Also, after crossing a certain level, every level takes at-least 2 or 3 lives to clear a level. Sooner or later I am going to give up on the game as it would require me to buy coins to do anything!

Prank wars are killing the fun for me.. This was a great game. The themed puzzles, music and sounds from the movie, variety of new puzzles on a regular basis and some social factors in the clubs were very nice. My only problem with the game was how much time I was spending on it. The prank wars were a cute addition slightly too late for April fools day. At first I thought it was a fun limited time event, but they repeat with alarming regularity to the point where it isn’t a novelty anymore but a daily barrage of assaults. The most recent prank war started only three days after the last one ended, and it is starting to seem like repeated skirmishes in an amending war that interferes with me being able to feel a sense of accomplishment over beating a puzzle with the actions of others constantly interfering. Posting this review because I know I am not alone in my frustration with the prank wars and hope this might get through to developers as there is not a way to provide feedback within the app that I can find.

I dare you to post my review!. The developers either keep deleting my reviews or just won’t let them post because they are honest and very critical. What could be a great game is wracked with MAJOR issues and glitches! The latest of which is two and three of the same creature cards in the same pack instead of 1 common, 1 rare, and 1 legendary as advertised. Today I got 3 “Three Broomsticks” in the same pack. I wish I could add the screenshot of it to this review. Really burns me up!!! If Zynga would fix this, get rid of the constant pranks, address the cheaters, repair the glitch of having moves and power-ups disappear, make the puzzles solvable within three tries, make things less expensive and more ways to earn gold, this would be a fantastic game that I would willingly give five stars to. Until then they are stuck with my one star review and many people on the verge of quitting because of these issues.

Minor things could go a long way. Positives: no ads. A recent update made companion animals easier to get (it was so pointless before trying for the special occasion creatures). Challenging, but with easier levels scattered throughout to make it not frustrating. Beautiful graphics and follows the story well. Opportunities for improvement: with the flying key, it would be nice if we had control over the target, especially when we’ve combined it with a strike or bomb. So many times I could’ve won a game if I had control over where that key went. Sometimes, I don’t understand the logic of what it targets. Additionally, during combo falls, I’ve had pieces drop to make a combination to get a power up, but the gems just flash and disappear without giving the bomb or strike (I know gems won’t make a combo when they’re burning - I just mean when I’ve hit a streak of making matches). Bug?

Well built but cards are a problem. I thoroughly enjoy the game. Typical gem matching game with so much Harry Potter magic weaves in as to be a unique experience. That said, I have to say this. The Card drop rates are criminally bad. As you progress, you can collect cards that - if you collect an entire set - you unlock magical buddies. Great concept. Execution is terrible. I have opened conservatively 12 packs in the past week (each pack comes with 3 cards). I am not exaggerating at all, there are only two cards that have appeared at all in those 12 packs: a wolf and a goat. Those two OVER and OVER again. This is not the first time the card drop rates have been atrocious, but it has reached a brand new terrible level. The game itself is fun, but the devs are trying to cap progress apparently. This issue won’t stop you from playing at all, but leaves a really bad “artificially extending playtime by being unfair to players” vibe to it. 5 stars if this is fixed.

Quickly turns into a cash grab. I’m a fan of HP and downloaded this when I saw it. I’m no stranger to money farm games and I don’t know why I thought this would be any different. The game is really fun at the start. The levels are relatively easy and it was something you could sink some time into. Then you hit level 100. Which sounds far but you could easily do it in a few hours. Then the games difficulty just exponentially skyrockets. Every single level is a slog. To the point you just get incredibly frustrated. That’s when your eye wanders to the cash shop. I understand they need to make money. I threw down 15 dollars but that doesn’t even come close to giving you enough to get through these levels. The power ups are so expensive and you feel you need to use them every single lvl after 100 or you’ll just beat your head against it over and over. This is predatory marketing at its finest. Just be mindful of why you’re getting into with this game.

Update Problem. It’s been almost a week and my game won’t play and has been stuck on an update screen. The latest version had been installed, but as soon as the game opens it says there is an update available. After clicking on the update button it redirects to the App Store where the only option given is to open, not update the game. When you click on open, your taken back to the same screen that asks you to update. This problem exists on both my iPad and my Kindle. The only way I can play now is on my Samsung phone, where that issue has not happened. I have contacted the so called customer support and haven’t received any confirmation my request was received or acknowledgement that there is a problem. It appears that I am not the only one experiencing this issue. Too bad because this game is one of the better ones out there.

Great game but there are a couple of glaring issues. First is the wildcard system. After every 8 levels you can open a pack of 3 wildcards used to unlock new pets. The problem is you almost exclusively open duplicate cards. I get there have to be some, but when you go a week of playing every day and don't open a single new card, especially when there's a limited time pet to unlock, it's extremely frustrating. My wife and I both played at least an hour a day for the whole two weeks it was available and only each got 2 of the 6 cards needed to unlock it. The other issue I have is the control of moving pieces during gameplay. When you go to swipe a piece there's a very good chance that it moves a different direction than you wanted or the piece next to it moves instead. I thought maybe I was just being careless and have since been more careful about how I touch the screen but still have the same issues. Other than these two problems the game is great!

My review of this game. First of all the game is unfair, it picks and chooses what spell and when. It always wants to use the power ups right at the start of the game. No one does that, and now I’m not getting Any free time, just hp points that add up to no results . I had your game on three devices but now I deleted two of the games on two of my devices. Iyar level 959 and can no longer get any free time. I got the best creature at the very beginning, I have almost all the creatures and still I get no free lives. So you get TWO THUMBS DOWN. And Facebook is gonna hear all about it too. Oh and I am a MVP as well. Terrible way to treat die hard gamers who use too love Harry Potter games but now thinking about deleting this game as well. All that work for nothing.

The total truth, I promise. I love this game and I play it WAY too much. I also admit I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of money on it! There are a lot of positives with this game if you’re a match 3 fan or a Harry Potter fan. It looks and sounds great, it is creative. There’s the added fun of competition between individuals and clubs. Being in a good club can make a whole new fun experience. BUT...the bad stuff. The cheaters are bad. They have gotten rid of a lot of them, but it’s still a thing. Then, to me, the most frustrating thing is the bugs! Not the spiders, the glitches. There are glitches that I’ve given up on reporting to support. Things that will make you want to delete the app forever, because you want SO BAD to solve a puzzle, and you ALMOST DO, but a glitch takes it from you. I’ve gotten so frustrated that I’ve debated requesting a refund, but I know I’d have to stop playing, and I don’t want to stop. I’ve asked support to do something to try to make up for my frustration, but they just give a canned response, or a few coins that isn’t even enough to buy a continue. My recommendation is to wait a little while, then start playing this game. Give them a chance to work things out. Don’t be like me and be the person that is funding their test market (that’s what it feels like). This is GOING to be a great game you will love, just be willing to wait for it.

Fun game but ADS PLAY FULL VOLUME. I really want to give this game a higher rating because I enjoy playing it a lot, but the developers need to fix the ads issue. They play at FULL VOLUME despite the game sounds being muted AND the phone being on mute. There is NO REASON for this to be happening. It keeps me from playing this out in public where I need to have my phone silenced because I never know when an ad is going to be screaming at me at top volume! How embarrassing! I know this is a DEVELOPER issue, not a phone setting and needs to be fixed. I am 1,000% less likely to watch an ad that bypasses the mute button on the phone because it is soooo annoying and impractical. Several developers are now doing this and I may be forced to delete them all because I simply cannot have ads blaring at me at random times when I have taken the proper precautions to mute my phone! And no, I am not going to turn my phones volume button down to zero in addition to muting it (which is the only “solution” I have seen to this problem) because I never remember to turn it back up and then I miss important calls! I also often listen to music or an audio book while playing a game and the ads stop those things playing when they blare out. Super annoying! Please FIX THIS!! I guarantee you I am not the only person super annoyed by this. Do better, guys.

Becoming increasingly glitchy. I have been playing this game for awhile and am a club leader. The game has become almost unplayable with how often it glitches and crashes now. Events are extremely buggy, and I have lost count of how many times I’ve lost rewards and prizes because the event bugs at the end and all my work/progress is lost. Support is generally very unhelpful and unless you screenshot every second of your playtime, they have a oh well too bad attitude. It also seems the player base has significantly decreased, with many members of clubs never playing and clubs unable to maintain a full roster. The game has also increasingly pushed predatory in app purchases, and now you get spammed constantly with pops up to spend money. In game coin earnings are a joke and worthless, at less than a 100 coins every 7 or so hours, laughable when an extra 5 moves cost 900. Cost of boosts are outrageous too.

Developer got too greedy. The ads were always an annoyance, but somewhat tolerable. But it has been gradually getting worse. There are ads now that even if you have your phone on silent, it would play sound from the ads which is quite abusive, not sure how Apple approved and allowed such thing, probably a glitch that developers found a work around it. Now they recently introduced a new mode to get free coins through things you do with partners, a whole new platform that steers you away from the game. It’s a shame that you want to play a puzzle as a distraction and there’s so much more focus in the app for you to “consume” their ads content rather than the content of the game itself. You can confirm the greediness by checking the in-app purchases are all packages for you to constantly buy passes, items or in-game gold. It this game had a reasonable price to unlock an ad-free version, I’d have paid it, but Zynga clearly doesn’t want you to do that, and cut through their recurring revenue streams from ads. It’s been fun, but now the app is deleted.

Love Hate Relationship!. While I love the challenge I very much dislike watching an ad that then freezes and can only be fixed by exiting the app which then puts clock at zero and I am losing lives. The high rollers I think purchase coins to have tools to win the game and advance. I can’t afford that so I will eventually get frustrated and move on to reading or something less time-wasting. Also wish each game had a brief explanation-not the matching part but the strategy and info about the team events (played for a month before a leader figured out how to start the game; or how the rankings work! Thanks The newest version has dropped the number of trophy’s earned. Hard enough to tt higher score, this is discouraging. Also high dollars “charged” to complete many puzzles. No longer worth it. Will exit. Continues to freeze, lose trophies, mischief abilities and can’t play. Would score at -2

For all of you muggles who want to join. This game is very good. The levels aren’t too hard which makes it fun while challenging your brain. I would give a 5 star review but on the edit avatar feature I feel like you should add more outfits and more options. Right now you can only choose from 3 outfits and I really think you should upgrade that. This app doesn’t really have in app purchases. I myself have not purchased anything. The only thing I’ve seen so far is the starter pack which includes Luna lovegods glasses and more spells. I’m pretty sure you can get the spells by doing levels anyways. The details in the characters are excellent! I feel like you should try and find some more voice lines for them seeing that hermionie may say something that’s 8 words long but the voice line only has her say 3. This is all my opinion and I will not stop playing this game because aside my critic opinion this is a fun game.

Fun for awhile. This game starts out amazing - graphics are great, storyline is true to the books and it’s initially a lot of fun. That is, until you advance in the game because at some point the levels become impossible. They are all “solvable” but I have been stuck on the same level for several days at a time and it becomes infuriating. The “daily puzzle” is usually so difficult that if I don’t have unlimited lives, I won’t solve it. Today’s daily puzzle was attempted over a 30 min time period and I still didn’t get it. It’s also not really a daily puzzle since it’s only open for 6 hours out of the day. Also, it is impossible to get any of the creatures - all you ever get is duplicate cards and since you only get 1 star per puzzle and need 8 stars for a card pack, it takes forever since you could be on one level for days. Overall, if it was possible to complete the puzzles in a few tries instead of taking hours then it would be fun and if the creatures were actually attainable....currently I’m about to delete it and go back to Candy Crush!

Fun for a Bit then Hard to Make Progress. This game is like a way more fun version of Candy Crush - the Harry Potter element and especially getting to ‘work’ in teams is awesome. However after a certain point (I beat all the regular levels and got to ‘Legends’ while they continue to develop more levels) it’s extremely difficult. I’m updating my review to 2 stars based on how obnoxious the magical creatures component is - So you get 1 star for beating 1 level (which takes a long time to do in the upper levels). Once you get 8 stars you can open a pack of 3 cards. Each card is either basic or rare which gets you 1 or 3 points respectively (these are all duplicate cards you’ve previously received). Only when you get FIFTY of these duplicate points do you get a new card. This would be fine but here’s the kicker: they introduce special magical creatures every couple of weeks that go away after a certain amount of days. You can work incredibly hard playing hours upon hours a day and they will give you 5 of the 6 cards for the new creature, then when you finally level up to 50 points again, you’ll conveniently get a card for a DIFFERENT, pack losing the special creature altogether when it times out. Complete waste of time/ obnoxious/ makes me want to not play anymore. I’ve been working for a couple of weeks just for this silly unicorn and after getting Almost all the cards they give me a different one 2 days before the unicorn goes away.

Good puzzle game but issues. Customer service for one aren’t reliable I’ve contacted them 2x once because I beat a level and the game froze and then when I went back it made me redo it which took several times and lives then I received a message saying I was gave 250 coins idk if I was I hadn’t paid attention but today I had a message on the game saying a club member had bought the pass and it gave me 20 minutes of lives I had logged on and received my daily reward 45 minutes played then used my 5 lives and then accepted the 20 minutes and it didn’t add I contacted support and they claim it was used but no it was accepted never added I enjoy the game puzzles etc but with their are glitches like loosing progress lives etc beating levels and it freezing and redoing etc it makes me not care to play if it’s gonna be for nothing

Redundant and meh. This game was fun but once you reach higher levels, it becomes redundant and quite frankly boring because it takes forever to pass levels (unless you give in to the money grab they are trying to push). Basically, it’s just not fun anymore and the introduction of the pranks definitely didn’t help the already nearly impossible goals. Now you throw in the Pride stuff that has no business being pushed on kids or anyone for that matter and I’m a gay man. You’ve taken this game, that was once fun and turned it into a propaganda machine and a money grab. You can’t pass levels without purchasing stuff. It’s just not fun anymore and the obstacles are just redundant now. The excitement just isn’t there anymore.

No ad available for 3 more moves. I really like the game, but after making a purchase in the game I lost the ability to watch an ad for extra moves. After reading some reviews, I see I’m not the only one. I contacted support & was basically told that the ads are from 3rd parties & they just appear randomly in the game. I was also told to just be patient because sometimes it takes a while for you to be able to click on them. It’s not that a gray “watch” box shows up & I just can’t click on it…there is nothing there at all! There hasn’t been since I made a purchase. This is extremely unfair to players, especially when you literally only need 1 more move to complete the puzzle & when the coins ARE so hard to come by! I hope this gets fixed because other than that, it’s a great game!

Best game ever. It’s a really good game and I just love it I play daily and I’m laughing right now if you’re such a good game so I think you should make more games like this whoever made this is really good at games I have no suggestions about this it’s just amazing I think it’s the best game in history and I and I wouldn’t change a thing also will there is one suggestion maybe you could make like like you could friend people whoever has another game like the same game and you could friend then that would just be amazing it make it totally the best game and then probably everyone will play it I just like something that would be more like Roblox or Bridge Race or at least the Phone Case DIY all of those games are pretty good even though the other two are kinda you know do you know anyway

Lots of glitches. I've been playing for almost a year now and have had many problems with glitches. I truly enjoy the game like the fact the lives generate quickly enough to play for a long time. I gave the 2 star rating because I have contacted them through the app regarding the app closing in the middle of games, not saving your progress, taking your prizes away when the scenes change. They responded after my first inquiry and gave me a couple of lives and a free pack of goodies. However the updates that were done a couple months later brought the glitches back and the eventual shutting down of the game. I have tried contacting them again but haven't gotten any responses.... now I can't even get the app to open. Says a new version is available but there is no update available and if I take the game off and reload it will I lose my progress completely? I'm on game # 1566, second in my group! Get it together?!

Great fun, but.... I really do enjoy this game. It’s fun to pick up and play, and I’m super excited I don’t have to spend money to complete a level or a game. I do have a couple of things that would be nice to see though, first with matching crystals to set off a spell, it would be amazing if we could choose when to set off that spell and not have it go automatically. There’s times I’ll spend game after game getting the board just right and the spell will activate and ruin my plan causing me to loose a game that I spent a few hours trying to win. Please let us have the ability to choose when to use the spells. Also, I agree with another review I saw that asks to let us use infinite lives on our own choice, because I too have checked in without being able to play and waste the daily bonus unlimited lives. That would also be amazing to be under our control.

Cheap developers. This is the only game I’ve come across so far that has been so difficult to get any extra power ups. It doesn’t matter how many levels you win they hardly give you anything to help you and then if you don’t pay close attention they screw you in sneaky little ways. Like dealing with the tricks bag and the bombs/the keys it’s not the same as other games. They literally will not let you use a power up put it close to something you need they will make it stay far away from the one spot that would win the level. Since I play other games that are similar to this this is nothing but a money ploy. They want you to spend your actual hard earned dollars on things that should be just common place in a game like others instead of being so greedy. I like the game but I won’t spend real money in it so they need to up their anty a little bit and quit being so selfish!

I like the game, but….. Like most matching games, the higher up you get, the harder it gets, which is fine. But, it seems like since the last update I get stuck on levels for 20-30 rounds before I can finally move on. The one I’m on now, I’m still stuck on and it’s been something like 30 rounds. This impacts my ability to get new creatures and team events like the Weasley prank boxes, which I just hate anyway. If I spent money, I know it would move a little easier, but I don’t want to spend money on this game. I think the algorithm responsible for moving the spells is also designed to cause frustration when stuck as well. For example, the keys picking stupid things to clear instead of tasks needed to achieve the level, or not getting the bonus item when I should, for example not getting a bomb when I match enough tiles, etc. I don’t know if it’s buggy or they’re just trying to make you spend money, but lately I’ve been more and more frustrated which takes away from the fun concept of this game.

LOVE this game, some improvements needed. The reasons I gave it 4 and not 5 stars: -not being able to chose when your daily rewards for unlimited lives start -on your teams, there are people that haven’t been active since November and you can’t get them out unless you’re an officer I believe. Except my club the officer hasn’t been on since December so there’s nothing I can do. But I don’t want to leave because I have some good teammates and it would be hard to coordinate a new team with strangers. TLDR: inactive team members should be removed after a month without logging on -it is incredibly hard to get all 6 cards for limited events. I play for hours everyday and I think I’m rather decent and I can never finish a whole pack and this can’t get a new creature -the flying keys: you can’t pick where they go so sometimes they pick a completely useless gem to take instead a hazard or something you actually need

Great Game, hate the club challenge. I love the game itself. It is a great way to unwind at the end of a long day, but the club challenge portion is a bit unfair. You have clubs with large amounts of people going against clubs with small amounts of people as well as a demotion zone. Well, I happen to work during the week and I don’t think my boss would take too kindly for me to suddenly pull out my phone or tablet to play the game when I am supposed to be working. So I suddenly end up demoted because I couldn’t be on the game 24/7? That seems a bit harsh. It is supposed to make it challenging...not impossible. Then I feel like I need to shell out money in order to win. Also not fun. Don’t like the prank aspect of it either. The concept of the game is good and it follows Harry Potter perfectly, but I think some things need to change before I would give it five stars.

Spell Upgrade Issues. I love this game. I have been playing this game for almost a year. It is my favorite game, yet lately I have been having some issues. For example, I finish challenges or complete levels to upgrade my spell level ( like Accio Dragon level 6 to level 7), however after a few days or a week later my spell level mysteriously drops back down. I have made sure to take note that all my spells are at level 7 one day yet all of a sudden when i complete puzzles to upgrade the same spells I notice all my spells are back to level 6. It’s like I cannot get my spells to level 8. At first I thought maybe I forgot or wasn’t paying attention to what exact level my spells are on, however, this has constantly been happening for awhile. I don’t know if it’s a bug or if it’s just me but I am tired of my spell upgrades and the amount of coins I earn mysteriously disappear.

Would Be 5 Stars if Zynga & Support Were Better. Update - Zynga Support is a joke. They responded to my review asking me to directly contact them, but I’ve messaged Support multiple times in the game and have only received a generic “Thanks for your feedback” response. Do not be fooled into thinking Zynga or Support actually care about their loyal players! This game is fun, but it’s not worth playing because of the blatant favoritism and simultaneous disregard displayed by Zynga and Support. They constantly favor certain players over others. They consistently disregard players’ concerns. They blatantly lie about updates and changes to the game. Zynga and Support REFUSE to do anything about the CHEATERS and HACKERS that play this game and ruin it for the real honest, loyal, and hardworking players. The developers and designers are also LAZY with the game. They constantly reuse the same tired, overdone “Events” and “Challenges” in the game instead of coming up with anything new or different. All while constantly trying to squeeze every single penny possible out of their loyal and devoted players.

Meh, decent.. I’m starting to get more annoyed with this app and will probably delete it soon. It’s a fun game and has a decent level of challenge (sometimes easy, sometimes frustrating lol). However, the app is super glitchy and they make it (like most apps these days) to where you almost wanna spend money just to pass some of the difficult levels. There is sometimes a “free 3 moves” if you watch an ad option. More times than I can count, I watch the ad and then it doesn’t give the moves. You can pay for five more moves, but it doesn’t give you the three free ones. Just now, I got a phone call in the middle of a level. When I hung up the call, the app relaunched itself and hadn’t saved my progress in the level (which counts against you and removes a life). I have also had an issue where I try to make a move and it moves a completely different gem instead. Just overall frustrating that it’s glitchy and doesn’t do what it is supposed to.

Best Match Three Game Ever. 🤩 Wow!!! I love this game. The graphics and illustrations are beautiful. It looks realistic but bright, colorful, and gives a life like look to it. It lets you make your game personalized by letting you create an avatar, choose your house, and wand! I love how the matching tiles are interesting, and include the symbol of every Hogwarts House. And they also put interactive elements like chocolate frogs that jump around. It feels life like! Some people may think the music is annoying to hear all the time while playing, but I love it. Also, you can turn of the music, sound effects, and notifications right in the app. The only thing I am missing is a little more avatar customizations. I mean, there are way more options than other games, but I would like a little more. Over all, it was AMAZING!

Wants me to update but already is. Loved the game until it popped up saying update now then it brings me to the App Store where it says open so it’s literally in a vicious cycle where I can’t even play bc it wants me to update to the new version but it’s already that version. I went into my settings on my phone to see if that would do anything, no pending updates so as of right now and I even restarted my phone. So as of now it’s basically a negative star rating Update: After getting ridiculously mad over the game the team helped restore my progress and all things back in order. I really appreciate the help that they were able to get it all restored after I was told it wouldn’t be possible to restore and they got it all back on track. I really like the game and the help they provided!

AWESOME GAME! I LOVE IT!. Some people might think differently about this game, but it’s the best game i have so far! The puzzles are really fun and so many levels to play, now I’m only 11 and some older people play this (not an insult😭) but in my opinion great game, i love it, the daily puzzles are great, but one suggestion, i would add more things to customize your character with, but except for that awesome game like I’ve said a few times now! The things you can unlock are super fun to try and get, my friend got me into this game, I cant get over the fact that this game has so many cool technics, no ads, (best part) it helps me calm down just coming to play this game, i can’t right that big of reviews bc I’m still young😭 but again for the 7 millonth time love the game!

Game fun? It was fun. So the game has several faults or the programmers made the game to cheat !!! When u have a l shape or 5 pieces to make a power up, they null the movie so u don’t get the power up , has happened to me more than once and not in spaces or boards that have that !!! When you move the piece to the right it goes left , that’s one !! The second is that game seems to change the color of the piece to suit or inconvenience the player!!! The game seems to not help the player so they achieve there goals, rather the game hinders them, ITS OK TO HAVE A puzzle game be hard, but not the level of cheating this game does !! Or when a piece is stuck on something like a block all other pieces go around but that one !!! Or u have to spend money to complete the stage if there is one piece or goo to cover or ice to break !!as well as when u have your chess pieces they cover the pieces under there head so we cannot see the pieces , the cakes they are FLOATING , so why can’t anything get under them !?!?!?

This game just cheats it’s players. You are not good at losing. This game is bad at you winning. The match three games seem to have a hard time being fair. Some more so than others. The worst was futurama where everytime you asked for help or complained they removed your winning levels. Puzzle 281. Had one last flower to get so why is winged jet I activated picking up a completed part of the game? I’ve been cheated out ingame boosts that don’t appear. Match 5 get nothing and no reason why?!? Could only do that if it’s designed to ignore the players need. Also you are the only game that won’t help unless I give you my email?!? You have no problem taking my money without an email… 🤯🤬😡 if it’s player ID no problem … but really Okay new problem ive now started this level the exact same 5 times in a row. Took screenshots to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating. So I guess random is out as far as the gems go. Which translates into an un winnable game. So don’t spend a money. I’ve stopped again….

It could be great if they didn’t cheat you. I love the graphics and the game except that I have repeatedly cleared the board to only have it say I haven’t and show me that I still need zero things left or I have to try again or spend money to continue on with additional moves. I don’t need additional moves because I don’t have anything else to do!! I have also repeatedly emailed the company to tell them this with screenshots of the board being cleared yet it not allowing me to go forward! No response from them. I also had many boards that said you needed to clear a certain amount of a certain color yet you would only get one of that color coming onto the screen and you needed to clear 20!! You also need to be on a team for several things and I could never get anyone to answer questions about why the people on the team weren’t playing for weeks and you need team participation to move up. It became way too frustrating.

Broken Magical Creature Feature. Less funny than the title sounds. Magical creatures are difficult to obtain and give you the only free powerup in the game which is pretty crucial to completing difficult puzzles. You earn energy by using gem powerup moves, its a grind but worth it. So you can imagine how disappointing it is when you finally grind enough energy, only to see it drain to zero. The only response I get from support is “we are working on it”. This is the only game I have ever played on apple that has such a lackluster response to fixing such a crucial feature. I mean they really must be making enough money to just outright ignore this issue with no promise of a timeframe, plus no decent compensation other than 500 gold and a “we are sorry for the inconvenience”. The cheapest paid powerup that is anywhere near decent is 4200 gold. Really?! 500 is nothing. So I am expecting another lackluster response to give them one last chance, such a shame to receive such crappy service for an otherwise great game.

Magical Mischief Pranks are Awful. This was my favorite game. My team is amazing, but the Magical Mischief special events are terrible. What’s the point in working so hard to make it to the top of the leader board when other teams can steal it was pranks. It’s not fun and quite frankly is turning it what some my call bullying. A special event should be just that, an event. Not something that happens weekly. While annoying, I’d be completely fine if the pranks happen monthly, but every week is too much. It takes the fun away. Get rid of them or have them less often. I’d rather the developers work on creating more animals to collect or something, anything, else that doesn’t pit teams against each other in this manner. Please, please let us have or game back in the fun manner in which it existed before these awful pranks. Edit: There are so many reviews stating to stop the pranks. Instead of listening to your players, you’ve decided to make it easier to send the prank boxes? Just get rid of the stupid event!

Harry Potter Fun. This is a fun and engaging game, even if you are not a big Harry Potter fan. I usually don’t like the matching games, but in this one you can get spells and other gimmicks to help win levels. The problem is that a lot of times you really need one or two more moves to win and you have to pay 900 coins each time you do so. And, of course, you need to pay real money to get the coins. Also, (and this is an update) for some reason there is this gimmick where you can prank other players and they lose their progress in the game and they can prank you. It is very annoying and, in my opinion unfair and unfun. And it happens every few days and lasts for three or four days. It puts a major damper on the game and makes it not worth playing.

Happy at Hogwarts. Overall a great game and provides hours of entertaining puzzles with unique challenges and rewards. The areas for improvement are: - If you already have your lives full and then you reach a new level that fills your lives, you essentially get no reward. Would be better if it added the lives on top of what you already have. - The pay packages are laughable for what you get based on the money people would be spending. - My experience is that accumulating cards for new animals takes forever and you usually get ones that you don’t need. The one time I saved up enough coins to buy a deck that could reward me with rare cards...I was rewarded with common/dupes. Felt like I wasted my coins and time saving them. Again, a really great game that I enjoy and continue to play, but it has areas that could be improved. Keep up the good work!

I’m not sure it’s worth it…. First I must say like most I love Harry Potter. The game looks great, a very nice style to it, with a unique way to travel through the story. However that’s about where the fun stops. I enjoy the “puzzle quest” style game, so that’s not the issue. The issue is this game is 100% a grind, a grind and a ton of money spent I have nothing. Very few upgraded spells and no legendary animals. I honestly can’t see myself playing much longer, the fun is not out lasting the grind. Which is usually the problem, developers can’t ever find the right side of the line of making there business profitable and also rewarding the player enough to keep grinding. So if you haven’t played this game before and you are seeing this review, I can’t in all honesty recommend you download this game. Should you be an old player who’s thinking maybe the grind is better, well it’s not come back later and check.

What mischief goes on here?!. While I enjoy the game and the fun it brings… I would say bout 20% of the time that I watch a video to get the 3 extra moved at the end of the game… the game locks up… doesn’t gray out the watch button or just stays blue and doesn’t respond… So if I’m two moves away from solving the level… I don’t get the opportunity… I lose a life and have to battle all over again. It happens way to often and thinking on looking for a game that responds better. Great game… just wish it acted more like Harry instead of Malfoy So I sent this over a month ago… Was told that the commercials were outta the creators hands…. Who would give such control to someone else??? Got a free hour of play. But no change has happened. Still lose out when watching a commercial… will play the annoying commercial… but don’t get the extra 3 plays. So frustrating to need one move to complete level… locks up and have to try all over again. Please fix this issue.

Money Grab. I have noticed certain glitches in the game. Such as: 1. You will see rows of 5 blow up, but you will only get a lesser prize. No your not crazy if you see it too. I wish I could get a picture of this, but I keep missing as it happens to fast. 2. Blow up a section and gems do not fall. I do have a picture of this after it consistently happened on puzzle 218. 3. Bookcase that inconsistently take damage. Here you will see a row of 3 gems blown up next to the bookcase and cause damage. Do it again, no damage. Do it again still no damage. Do it a fourth time it takes damage. So what is this? 4. Do not trust port keys to act in your favor. Sometimes they will, most of the time they will not do any significant damage where you need it. The good points 1. No ads. No ads. Did I say no ads? This could be a negative though, as it makes you wonder how they are making money? Must be selling you fake coins, to buy power ups to beat puzzles you should have beaten, but you know, the glitches. 2. Very generous with the infinity play. Although you still won’t beat the puzzle because of the glitches. Either the glitches are built in, so you can not win, or the game needs some serious tweaking. Either way, do not fall prey to buying fake stuff, you don’t need, no matter how frustrated you get. Best of luck to you all.

Amazing, except . . .. This game is everything you’d want in a puzzle wizarding world game. There’s so many unique and magical ways to solve each puzzle, and it’s actually fun to do so during free time to distress. HOWEVER, it can feel a bit repetitive and slow, especially storyline wise. I have to make myself push through at times, since a new story chapter is every 40 levels, and being in the same chapter for so long can feel boring. If only the story chapters were shortened to maybe 10-15 levels per chapter, it would feel refreshing more often and we’d be able to get to the more latter stories such as Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. To my knowledge, this game has been out for years and only chapters up to Prisoner of Azkaban are out. TLDR: Everything is great, except the chapter sizes being 40 levels long. If only if the chapters were shortened, the game would feel more fresh and less redundant.

Fun theme - hard to save gold. Who doesn’t love a bejeweled game! The puzzles are difficult enough to make the game enjoyable. And it’s Harry freakin Potter themed. Several things it could work on. Is that some of the puzzles (not labeled hard) turns out to be difficult. But the worst is when you are given the opportunity to “buy” extra moves with the gold you’ve earned in the game. There really should be a second “are you sure” button. Because I swear there are two window options that show up where the buttons are arranged differently. And it takes a quite a while to accumulate the gold. Not to mention still a lot of glitches where sometimes the 4 or more doesn’t make power ups and Marauders Map makes a route that’s not on the board. And let’s be honest. Those keys are so lame! When it’s a key/bomb especially, always goes to a corner and so close to the edge. Losing its intended bomb purpose.

Age 4......... Doubtful! I do enjoy this game as another mother stated it’s fun. Into play project makeover and both games get to levels where they want you to pay for power ups to help you and that is what makes it unfair and not a game for 4 year olds!!!! I have also found that when doing the challenges wants you get promoted to fire and above when the new challenge starts it seems like you are placed on the bottom ranking part of the list in demotion zone and impossible to come back! Let me tell you why’d I tested it several times and created other accounts and because a “member” of my existing group and it’s impossible to catch up. You lose the ranking, start over again and guess what how you are magically in the top 5! Wether I use that account to get trophies easier.....huh! Not worth the headache sometimes. So now I just play at random and it’s sad because this was a game that myself, husband and 3 children played and recruited several family members to play too. It’s fun but too much pressure as you rise in levels to purchase help!
