I really put some time and effort into this video so I hope you will like it. I just want the best for the game but I think we need some changes, those numbers say everything.

The pvp in this game is incredibly fun and I was obsessed when it came out, especially as a huge harry potter fan. But I quit because of the astronomical balance issues, I was watching gameplay of one of the top ranked players in the world and they were terrible + didn't even know what some of the cards did. It feels bad playing a game where money matters more than skill, and it feels even worse knowing that if they just had a balanced PvP mode then this would be one of the most enjoyable PvP games of all time for me. Hopefully one day they add a balanced game mode and just monetize PvE and cosmetics. They can even keep the cards monetized as any other card game where you have to collect it once, but once you have the card one time that should be it. Fingers crossed!

Just to add to this, I checked the player numbers in the game launcher for galaxy phones and we were at 108k players 8 weeks ago and now we're at 10k average daily players

Really wish we didn't have to level cards, keep the money spending to character customization, wands, outfits, hair, etc.

huge respect for putting this video out as ambassador 👍

I enjoy many parts of the game, but it's going all in on 'pay to win'. I would prefer if they focus more on group PvE that is enjoyable. The only thing I do as a group now is auto run the forest gold run to get some thank you notes. No one says anything and everyone insta-leaves after the 'run'. I'll keep it installed to check on the story when they add more solo content, but I'm missing the old forest runs.

I have just seen the HPMA Central (youtuber) video about the new cosmetic clothes 'The Minister of Magic' that will probably be lauched soon (maybe even tomorrow) on the global server and it is a TOTAL ABSURD. It costs basically 500 DOLLARS to get the clothes, or you can try your luck with apparently the less and 0.1% of chance of earning the clothes the normal way (costs 1000 gems/diamonds each 10 draws). How can they keep doing this kind of outrageous choices and 'events' when the player base is actually clearly decreasing every day? It is simply absurd, i cant fathom what goes into their heads. I wish the developers actually took note of that and made appropriate choices. For 500 dollars i could probably go to a tailor and order a real life similar suit to the one in the game. Again, simply OUTRAGEOUS.

It’s sad to see the state of the game and how WB and NetEase are running the global release game into the ground. I fear it’s too late tho, ofc there are actions they can take to mitigate the downward trend like actually hiring a competent marketing team or fixing bugs and adding content quicker but the truth is they built this game fundamentally with ripping the money from the players wallets and it’s so deeply engrained in the game that they can’t fix it. Blind greed killed this game, WB and NetEase got so shortsighted by money coming in that they forgot to look at how much money they could make if they just treated all the players with respect and not just those that could cash in the biggest check.

Imagine this game but without the trash card/player leveling up mechanics, would be a great competitive game.

I miss Deathly Dell…. I’m still irked about that 😤😅 And the prices for the outfits are straight up bonkers! Like you could buy the outfit in real life for the price of a digital suit 🤑

NetEase actually did a great job with the game back in 2021 & 2022 before WB start interfering. I missed what HPMA used to be 😢 it was such a fun time back then playing with my Chinese friends

Would really like to see they release some common/rare/epic cards soon, not just the cards we have to buy red keys to get.

To be honest I wanted to love this game. But once WB Games made their version differently than the NetEase version it went downhill fast. For an outfit that you could buy for $10-15 now you get for what you call a top up that you get after spending $110. The problem with that is only “Whales” get the outfit. There are people who don’t want to spend thousands to play the game. But they don’t mind spending $15 on the game pass or $10-15 for an outfit.

I got to diamond in solo and duo dueling , played everyday where people asked if I sleep , but with that this game became majorly p2w , I would hit walls against asian players that have decks 8-10 lvls higher than mine , I was on deck lvl 44/45 these guys had 1k more health than me , my cards were lvl 8-9 . Just wasn't fun anymore as the game focuses more on pvp and that they removed the most fun activities in the Haunted hallows just ruined it more.

I just deleted the game yesterday. The PvP matchmaking isn't good. But the bigger problem IMO is that they have card levels. If they would've just kept it as a card collector game and not a card leveling game it would've been 100% better.

Hello @WizardGreen, this is my first time watching one of your videos and it was great! This game is absolutely amazing, I have played it countless hours, but... probably not for long anymore. Being a 100% free-to-play player, I can already see the limits of the unbalanced dueling system. I started the game one month after its global release, and I was already behind most players. Despite my spellbook being 57 right now, 95% players at my rank (Grand Master) have higher level cards than me (9-10 for me when they have 11+). There is absolutely no chance new players would stay for the PvP system. This is so sad because it's one of the most addictive game I have ever played on mobile. As you said, nothing will change. The monetisation system gives them huge profits thanks to whales and cosmetics, why would they do otherwise?

EDIT: Actually thinking a bit more about it, I am sure the below would require a lot of rework and might be too much for the devs right now. But instead, a little fix that don't require much dev would be to change the formula on granting or losing points in duel. If you lose against someone with higher grimoire levels, the point lost should decrease propertionally to the level gap. And vice versa. That way you can still be against 4 big level in row and lost those matchs, lose 20 points total, and next match you win against a similar level and got 25 points back. So you stabilize your rank according how well you do against people the same skills as you and you are not penalized too much against p2w people. END EDIT I will go even further on your duel proposal which is a good idea already Greene. We need a parallel duel mode where all the cards are the same level for everyone and the grimoire level the same as well. Let's say level twelve for the spell and 60 for the grimoire. That way the fights will be based purely on skills. You can still keep the echo advantage though to give also the f2p players something to grind for. I honestly can say that I am getting often demoralized in pvp when I encounter someone with 400 to 500 more HP than me and lose when my opponent only got 50 HP remaining. Which happens a lot since the season reset... (I am a low budget spender (only monthly pass and half a dozen euros now and then) and it is so hard to keep up with the remaining playerbase where the f2p/low budget players have already left massively) Also, I like your live streaming and videos a lot. Keep it up mate !

I’m still enjoying the game. It sucks getting matched with someone in MA with 1k more hp than me and much higher card levels but it comes with the territory of playing a mobile pvp game. But I have a lot of people on my friends list that were MA last season and haven’t logged on in weeks

Asian version was very friendly to f2p players until it went under WB. and it also had just amazing events, for example, the battle for Hogwarts. was a lot of rewards for f2p players. and now they don’t add “book with no name”, which was promised in the release trailer 🤦‍♂️. in this game now it's only p2w and only duels. And this is very upsetting and disappointing 😢.

as long players pay for such things, in the game there will always be such events

Thank you so much for making this video. It was fair, and very well done. We are lucky to have you as an ambassador. This game was objectively good at the start; everyone that I talked to liked it. It had beautiful graphics, a great world, and fantastic dueling. But then, just like you said, one by one, players quit; the people in charge of running the game were out of touch. It's like having a beautiful work of art, and smearing dog poop all over it. They couldn't have had a more disastrous release. 1. No focus on building long term player-base, only intelligence-insulting/aggressive levels of short-term monetization. 2. Constant bugs, ZERO communication from WB (we had to rely on Netease and reddit for information), game STILL crashes and lags out constantly to this day 3. Complete failure of maintaining a "power-ceiling", resulting in quick, massive imbalance in the game. 4. REMOVING fun content (so many people quit because they were mad about the deathly dell removal), and replacing it with grind-for-loot/lanterns. The best experiences I've had with this game were with the friendly player base itself, and our great content creators like Greene and Kang. The game was a gem at its core; it's such a travesty seeing it run into the ground by management. As Greene said, there are rampant bots now, because the player-base has plummeted since launch. WB has no one to blame but themselves, that is, if they ever cared to begin with. Since the start, it really felt like they had little respect or love for the game. If this were the case, as a f2p, I would feel bad for people who blew money on this game, only to have their long-term investment go into greedy corporate pockets that might just cash out and abandon the game. It's not a comprehensive list, but they definitely should've: 1. Been more on top of bugs/game-performance since release. 2. Prioritized maintaining the player base by making their prices/balancing-system less insulting, and improving their communication. 3. Not remove content, ESPECIALLY when the entire playerbase complained about it. 4. Lowering costs overall and prioritizing marketing cosmetics over deck power (instead, they demolished the power-ceiling, which made hordes of f2p players quit the game, resulting in rampant bot replacement) 5. Better marketing would've been nice, but let's be honest. It had a decent player-base initially, but then most dropped out rather quickly. Word of mouth is powerful, and the people who quit only had negative things to say. People aren't going to stay with the game or praise it if it's a bad experience.

The lack of players may had been a problem, but as I played it since day one of World Launch for about a month and a half, loved it like nothing other before, but that is till I noticed the bots, and realized that after 600 matches or so, 80% of them I played against bots, and most of the wins were against them. This took away from any sense of progression and skill based on time investment and I quit shortly after.

that TIkTok ad.... im dying

hi Greene, EXCELENT VIDEO, sadly this is the reality right now for the game, its a shame because this game have a lot of potential and the companies seens like doesnt care too much, hope they notice now the you as a magic ambassador doing this review and they do something about it, it will very sadly if the game die too soon for a poor management., greetings from latin america

It’s tough for me because I actually think this game is one of the most f2p friendly mobile games out there tbh. That being said, there are a couple VERY small things they could do to fix a lot of complaints. 1. There are tons of activities to do in this game, but there isn’t a single way to “grind” for gold or gems or anything else without spending gems on the forest. Weirdly thank you notes are the only thing you can “grind” for. I really like the event they did a few weeks ago where they gave you 500 gold daily for dancing, and I think if they kept that permanent, it would make a lot more sense. They should have that system for everything. Quittich should give you 500 gold per day. Classes should give you 500 gold per day. And tbh it would be better if it were 1000 but 500 would at least be a start. The main point being, every activity in the game should be giving you some sort of reward, otherwise why even do it? 2. one of the big mistakes this game makes is not giving people enough cheap bundles to purchase. All of the cosmetics in this game are typically 1680 gems. That’s so stupid. Other mobile games do the same thing for $1 or $5 just to entice some f2p players to spend a couple bucks. And while there are certain bundles that are only 500 gems, they feel more like a waste of money compared to everything else. 3. wheel keys and red keys. These are virtually impossible for f2p players to get, and it leaves the vast majority of the player base feeling excluded. You can tell WB know they’re too harsh on this because they started adding them into the battle pass and giving 1 red key as a reward for “off the path” this is not enough in my opinion. There should be a way for people to earn these keys daily so that f2p players can stock pile them for a card or wheel that they think they’re going to like. ESPECIALLY given that every wheel I’ve completed has taken AT LEAST 75 spins each. That’s well over $100 that the average person isn’t going to just blow on this game. And I’m not even saying they need to be “generous” about it. It goes with my first point where you just throw 1 or 2 of each key per activity you have per day. This would make it MUCH more worth it to play each activity every day, as these are very costly rewards 4. they need to make a “casual” PvP mode - as you eluded to in your video. There is a “practice mode” but the level difference is WAY higher than in ranked. It’s actually MORE difficult for free players to win in practice than it is in ranked. There is just no casual “scene” in this game and I think a casual mode where everyone’s cards are capped at lvl 10 and everyone’s HP is capped at 2100 or so would be a lot of fun.

Big Respect for putting out this video greene!! & yes I totally agree w everything you've said especially on the duel :'( one of my friend quit this game he said we need "PAY TO WIN" it's sadden me to hear that. I really hope WB change the dueling system on the game. & Be fair about it

I like the game very much, although I agree with all the negative aspects you mentioned, it is sad to see more and more people inactive and quitting the game. I want to hope that it will improve because I want to keep playing and most of all play in a nice big community. I don't have tik tok so I had never seen that commercial, absurd it was official, it's embarrassing. I occasionally shop in the game, they should invest in a more serious marketing team with the money they get from players ahaha. Thank you for sharing your opinion with us in such detail! Stay safe ❤

Thx for your video! Pretty much agree with all your points. And yes, of course you win more often as p2w but as f2p you start from the bottom and play opponents that are about the same level. Of course, the higher you get, the more p2w you'll face. I think it's a matter of how to chose your goals. I didn't even expect to make it to Diamond first season - and then, bam, nearly MA as f2p. And that's my main goal - getting to MA rank. Just playing a little there, probably losing most of them but still having fun playing. Yep, sometimes it is frustrating when your partner is really bad or you lose a game that has been extremely close or you have a losing streak. But in general, I still have fun playing. I mean, at least they have a ranking system which is not only a motivation but also prevents from starters ending up against the biggest whales. Yesterday, I made it to GM again and this time, I mostly rushed through Diamond, having multiple 7+ win streaks. Last season, I started to struggle mid Diamond. Now, at beginning of GM, I'm struggling again but that's okay. In some weeks the stronger GM players will be MA and then I can climb again. In pretty much every duel, I have an HP disadvantage from aroung 300 HP (in duos, solos would be even more) since I'm only level 48 but I've realized my card levels are not that low compared to other Diamond and GM players. The cards in my deck are around level 12 (including echo bonus) which wouldn't be possible without TRADING. And that makes an active team really important. (Plus, I really have bad luck with my cards. Like 2/3 times I have to wait for the guaranteed one and I still got them level 12). And of course, also tactics and skill matter. I just won a game against a player with a level 16 opaleye + Hagrid echo. And I even played with a random partner, so our decks didn't match etc. Yes, monetization sucks. But at least we got the second revival wand and some other new stuff in the club shop. Still, I am really hoping for a balanced pvp mode. I wouldn't quit playing the regular mode until I've made it to MA (even if they were no separate rewards) and it would be so nice to fight on an even level. I really hope this game doesn't take the same path as Wizards Unite. It so sad to see all the players leave. We can just hope that they make some right decisions and it gets successful.

Great job. You 'echoed' my own thoughts.

For your information, the versions which have been running for 2 years are not only the Taiwan version, but also the China mainland version. It's just that most of us don't get to use KZfaq as much so you can't see much information from us. Anyway, we do feel the same with you for sure. The prices have gone way up. And the most ridiculous thing is that even our progress in the game has been pulled backwards just so we can wait for the glb service to catch up, which made most of the Chinese players quit the game already.

I'm fine with spending 100-200$ per month on the game, but I think they want 600$ per-month unless you want to get mauled by all the whales. This isn't counting the new gacha within a gacha scam that they just put out. Insane.

I am with you 100%. The game design and dueling is AWSOME, but I don't think the game gets enough love from WB.

Yes for me the biggest issue is the monetization, i really want to buy some packs or clothes occasionally but I definitely won't for now, just the basic pass

I didn't even know the game was marketed. I saw a video on KZfaq of someone playing the soft-launch version last year, and that made me pre-register when it became available in the app store. It was pure chance.

ranked play should be locked to your spellbooks level within a certain range, like +/-5

Hello Greene and thanks again for your great job outta here ;) All the thing you sayed are facts and shared by the majority's opinion. I don't wanna be alarmist or smt, but it looks like editor are trying to get as much money as possible before leaving the ship in the middle of the ocean. Reasons : Many. But that doesn't mean they can't get the numbers back, this is not to late (in my opinion). I really hope for the best of this game and them players. Otherwise it's gonna be one of the biggest waste of potential in the video games history.

Hey Greene. Great content as usual. I totally agree with the poor marketing and often bring it up with my duos partner. That tiktok ad was trash. I found out about the game from watching a brawl stars tier list from the biggest brawl stars youtuber. If it wasn’t for that I still wouldn’t have known about it. So that ad was great in my opinion but where’s all the other ads? I don’t get it. Anyways. Still hoping the game blows up within the first year of its global launch.

I was not played this game since 3 weeks after the game release on global. The main reason is just because people always using an instants kill deck. Namely: Avada combo, Weasley fire dragon combo, etc. Too boring playing a game with an instant kill playstyle like that. At the first, i thought this game could having many combination deck but the developer didn't notice that instant combo. And the second is, very hard to get costume at this game, the developer didn't notice that they always selling a new costume with real money, but at the other side they didn't give a free costume for F2P, ofcoursely the F2P will be so boring for only using same costume everyday, and seeing another P2W player always changing their costume (it's a big mistake), they didn't thinking that it's better for F2P saving their diamond for card gacha, than doing gacha for costume.

The new quidditch game is just sad. I play with bots most of the time.

Игру испортили и всё становится только хуже. Я больше года играю на Тайване и игра мне очень нравилась, но потом нас урезали и внесли очень много негативных изменений. Я не совсем понимаю для чего это было сделано, так как глобальная версия игры вышла уже совсем другой игрой. У вас фоном видео с прошлогодней годовщины игры, я думал вы об этом тоже скажете, но скажу тогда я. Я думаю, вы находили в интернете видео о событиях прошлого сентября и заметили разницу, как тогда праздновали годовщину и что сегодня нам предлагает игра. В прошлом году у нас был крупный ивент, масштабный ивент с боссами, необходимо было собирать баффы, качаться и преодолевать трудности. Это было сложно, но очень интересно, хотелось испытывать себя. Потом была защита Хогвартса, которая в прямом смысле объединила людей на серверах, мы сражались с разными существами и должны были спасти Хогвартс от разрушения. Были эмоции, чувства ,переживания, волнение..Кстати, всем игрокам дарили бесплатно! золотой костюм и разные подарки, ни за что платить не нужно было. А что сейчас? Сегодня я испытал полное разочарование в игре, так как теперь игра предлагает нам только донат, чтобы что то получить. Это очень грустно. Никаких эмоций и радости, только разочарование. Игра стала считать игроков мешками с деньгами, и хочет всё больше и больше денег. Я удалил глобальную версию игры, ибо она мне напоминает об этих негативных изменениях. И думаю об удалении Тайваня тоже, так как это уже не та игра, которая мне очень нравилась. Держит пока что только любовь к вселенной Гарри Поттера и уникальная механика дуэлей. Собственно кроме дуэлей делать в игре больше нечего, новых масштабных ивентов больше нет, контент стал как для дошкольников с раскрасками, либо очередные предложения донатить. Разработчики убили и убивают игру, они потеряли тысячи игроков на серверах Китая и на Тайване, а теперь теряют игроков на глобальных серверах. Зря они тронули Китай и Тайвань, и зря сделали глобал таким какой он есть. Очень хотелось бы, чтобы игра стала такой как была до 1 июня, да и глобал таким же, но видимо, этому уже не бывать. Минусов стало очень много, к сожалению, боюсь это надолго..

Great video as always Greene! You're so honest!

I was really excited for the game when it came out and actually put in alot of hours into this, but the current trend, especially after the season reset, it has gone down the drain. Our club is Asia no. 1 and most of our players are disappointed in the game because they did not give out any good rewards to us for being rank 1 and also did not give out the dueling profile frame which they promised. Plus, their customer support sucks balls. They just keep repeating the same thing over and over again. I had sent them over 20 emails, but they close my ticket after 2 automated replies. Like what the hell? Plus, there's no incentive to grind in dueling no matter how good the dueling mechanics are when you aren't incentivised to push your ranks. As f2p player you expect to get atleast 150 gold gems per day for dueling to make it rewarding and incentivise people to push their ranks and keep them engaged. I think their greedy nature and their catering to the f2p players will be the death of this game. And I genuinely appreciate you for being honest about the bad things about the game despite being a high rank player and someone who has put in money in the game. Shows highly of you that you care about the larger community. Good work mate :) ❤

I think They have to do a pvp whit, maybe lower prices, but whit balanced lvl cards . Full skill league. 2 leagues one whitouth lvl limit and the other whit .

I'm still waiting for WB to fix the microphone not being given permission for Android players to work. You can't even click the button to speak with others. The record one works but without permission for microphone to work you just get an error message saying no permission.

I like it but I'm still getting balanced matches... I'm not worried Abt getting to very high rank. I like the balance tournaments too

I believe the reason is WB's newest CEO David Zaslav and how he restricts/runs things. He's extremely frugal and wants things done with the least amount of money spent (WB is REALLY hurting, financially). You can see it in ALL of the HP endeavors: the easiest to show is Hogwarts Legacy. Remember how it was taking forever to come out? Then suddenly a lot of things were cut from the game and it was released finally - but the last 2/3's of the game feels rushed and not as good? This turn around happened around the same time as when Zaslav took over. He probably gave a strict deadline to the Legacy team - no more delays, get the game out and recover the money they'd spent to develop it.

Great points! A big part of the monetization is built around leveling your cards which then leads to unbalanced PVP experience. People who play other CCG games like Hearthstone and MTG would just automatically dismiss this game for that reason alone. Not saying those games don't have their own balance issues. But it seems for HP:MA this balance is a fundamental part of it's core design.

Perhaps add level caps in dueling.

Love when you speak truth to power, Greene ^^

I just wish there would be one balanced ranked 1v1 league.

Really good review!!

This game seemed perfect at first. Then I realized its literally just a compilation of mini-games within one world. Its Final Fantasy 7's Gold Saucer: The Game. The battle system is absolutely perfect though. The battle system is like real-time "Magic the Gathering" if MTG let you level up your cards and yourself. I really want to like this game. I did for a while. But like many MMORPGs, it begins to feel like a chore.

Yay video

Hi Greene. Just want you to know I havent played the game after they nerfed the obscurus spell. Spend a small fortune to get several copies of it only to have it nerfed a week or 2 later. Straight up never login again

I hate that we do not get any daily currency for classes and forest runs (putting a cap on forest runs is dumb af). Because they just want to squeeze people into dueling, which means lvling up and that means spending. Hell this game just came out and I've seen lvl 100 spellbooks. Massive whales but that is what WB want

I love the game but i would love more if they launch more the spells that are in the Chinesse Version.

11:57 is the best part

i normally dont play mobile games besides from wild rift, but this game really got me and i kept playing for around 2 months now. my spellbook is level 49 rn and im climbing to diamond again atm. but there are people in ranked who just outdamage me no matter what. i disliked the forest update since it makes you choose how to progress. if everybody was limited to that it would be ok, but ranked is defined by the level of your cards and the echo played and you can easily outvalue others by throwing money at the game, creating an unbalanced game, thats the nature of every mobile game to be honest. some games feel pretty unbalanced, enemies doing 12k while my teammate just does 6k. in some games i really thought i played vs bots, since they always used their spells in a set way that was just too perfect in timing, turns out my feelings were right.

bro can you tell me please the rpm of your videos.

Oh yeah once you reach above diamond you feel the difference and it makes me sad as you get negative feelings about other eckos especially summon beneficial ones due to level differences and how they work with the eckos and you just can't compete. And most players that quit are f2p so the remaining f2p (or low spender) get the worst experience always facing the higher spenders, I mean sure the whales keep the game alive but when your playerbase will only be whales, which is the lower % of the playerbase, is your game is considered successful? Honeslty is amazing after 2 months the changes they do are the bare minimum

Hello Mr. Greene i hope you read this novel that im going to type. I dont know how will the game be like in the next 6 months. Like yea new battle pass nice… but after that… us low spenders and f2p will just rely on events i guess. Club adventure - takes too long for it to refresh. I just wish they could have like 1 week per rotation - then we go back getting the rewards again as fresh new cycle. KEYS - this is the only game that rewards players with a ver small amount of gold and SILVER KEYS- not even f2p gems. That really irks me…. Idk why are they so SELFISH on giving at least 100 F2P gems and maybe 5 golden keys. ALSO they could have added a system to combine keys - 10 silver keys = 1 golden key - and for the ruby? Lets say 10 golden keys = 1 ruby key i think thats very fair. ECHOES - maybe we can transmute echoes to gold - 2 echo crystal = 1 gold coin i guess? Im pretty sure no ones farming ECHOES so hard right now. Its all on the GOLD forest By that people would stick and still grind cuz there is still a way on how can you upgrade cards and not get stuck. i dont care about the slap in monetazation or sepnding events - it is what it is… this not the only gacha has it EX. NIKKE but nikke rewards players FAR MORE BETTER THAN THIS GAME. Epic seven, again top 20% on the PVP section of that game are f2p or low spenders. Now someone will say to me “dude thats not even a card game” well let me tell you this. Card game or not we are playing the same gacha game. And if you havnt tried other gacha games other than this game. I think you should try - honkai star rail / genshin, Epic seven, Brown dust 2, Punishing grey raven. Blue archive…. I can go on and on. As for advertsing? - PGR is a game that didnt even try to advertise that heavily, they only have rexlent, moteyaba and other youtubers. And you have to search or if you are in gacha game algorythm you wouldnt even know that game. But still PGR is alive with the best F2P rates that you can get. I this game doesnt need advertisements. Why? ITS HARRY POTTER. But most players just go away since its NETEASE. Majority of the gacha gaming community knows the greedy and the not so greedy developers/ publishers out there. Hoyoverse is in the line between being greedy but also being friendly, you would know if you play their games. But 50-50 still sucks. Anyway, im still playing the game cuz i just like the art style and im a potterhead. But other than that and maybe didnt see any f2p QOL changes…i probably wont see my self playing this game, with other games coming up in the future - ZZZ , WuWa, etc etc Oh btw mr greene. Netease is realising a new game called project mugen. Will they ditch this game on global wiht this trash monetization scam and just continue what they have on CN / TW version? We will never know, well i hope you get some info since you are affliated wiht the brand.

Balance changes? I think I've miss that part. I only know the current nerf of Bombastic and Aparition

People say the duel system is good. But no one can explain what card has anything to do with harry potter or magic

Too pricey just to get some clothing (the gacha mechanic, those spinning wheel)

It seems You’ve read my thoughts. Especially about The marketing and the monitization. I am afraid the game will be dead becouse of that staffs. In Europe and America at least. It will be sead, but fair.

my google playstore says harry potter magic awakening has 1m+ downloads. Maybe because its Netease?

its good but the problem is they kick my some time like in one hour they kick me 5 or 7 i dont know the problem is from my ipad or the game

thank you for saying what we would like, still time to save the game, hope they improve

After all, it's a NetEase game lol, it's doomed to die in a few months, I hope not, but only 2 months and the absence of players is very noticeable.

$5000 US dollars?!? How do you even use that many gems??? I’ve spent as much as needed to level up and it’s only a fraction of that.

Only thing I don’t like about the game is story mode it’s like I be having fun and enjoying then they drop me in a boss fight that I’m stuck on for days all the boss does is spam the same unblockable attacks over and over that will be the driving factor of me quitting the game shit makes no sense

...well we all graduated on June 1

I can’t even experience this game because the app is demanding too much storage. My phone is an iPhone 12 mini. I should not have to delete everything in order to play it.

I honestly can’t relate to a lot of the negative aspects of the pvp, I started playing exactly 32 days ago and I reached diamond both on solo and duos being a free player before I even got to buy my first pack of gems or the magic pass.

Its not Netease, all these issues started when WB joined the party. They are destroying the game for TW/CN players. Everything was going well when Netease was in charge of the game. WB are GREEDY they are the reason why many players are quiting the game. If WB gives this game back to Netease then all will be good again.

For the marketing part i agree, man i get those stupid impact waifu games ads 2 times in a row all days and nothing about hpma this is ridicolous and is not like the game is ugly, i really like the art and the 3d models of the characters are great.

Warnerbros remembered the lore differently in HP, I guess. Maybe they thought Harry spent thousands of dollars to get the Elder Wand and defeat Voldemort with it. What a way to keep immersion huh, WB? Bravo.

I mean everything in an offensive way. I am resentful about them - withhold cards because they want to be cute with events - nerf'ed my aguamenti which took forever to level up -have taken one of the most immersive game worlds and minimized any reason for why you should interact with it - present things from the beta or TW/CN version as if they JUST came up with it - present old things from the current release as new things (you can interact with the couch in the team room? They removed that themselves) etc. etc. I was recommending this game to all and everyone like an overzealous jw, but no fricking way anymore.

Yes i agree with u in everything, as a Harry Potter fan for both book and show i couldn't wait to for this game on mobile. Still love the game and have hopes it will get better but its honestly disappointing me also. If u want to be top player u gotta spend big bills, which is ridiculously too expensive. Like one time me a spellbook lvl 59 got to duel against a lvl 102, i never died so fast in dueling 😂 before till that time. That got me questioning things. Hope everything get better cause i love this game.

I think your wrong about the player count and the dueling system.

60k??? Or 6k? To reach nearly max level

It seems like a lot of people are quitting this game, sometimes I get matched with bots in duels :( which didn't happen at the start. It makes so sad because I love this game since I'm a HP fan (and the multiplayer fact is what I love the most about it, because I don't really enjoy games like Hogwarts Legacy since I can't play it with others )

i got the game i am a new player and i can play

WARNER BROS have not done enough to give it ANNOUNCEMENT, show it on ALL NETWORKS, this game is TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL AND WELL MADE, FULL OF CONTENT but it seems that they have not cared too much...

I agree with everything Edit: And I'm about to leave the game soon if those things stays the same

I was waiting for this game since i saw it in play store i really liked Harry Potter movies and played the other game called harry potter Hogwarts mystery which is p2w because of energy system so i uninstalled it and wait for hpma and started on global release game is pretty good enjoying story and but need more pve content since I'm not interested in pvp much. And few weeks ago they removed gold from car which made leveling my sb slow. Game should treat f2p player's good instead of focusing on p2w. Many players in our server left the game many of my friends are gone 😔

My honest review of the game is that it’s good. The dueling mechanics, both in the club and on story quests are fun. I also really like the dance club. Right now, all the songs are maxed out to five stars for me. My only minor criticism is how they don’t let you choose your gender before the default character gets revealed and starts going on a monologue. How I would do it is to make two icons appear on the screen before starting the playable character’s monologue, one for either boys or girls. The character customization wouldn’t happen until Madam Malkin’s, so you would have to be stuck with a certain gender’s default character until then. Also, in the cutscene when they show Platform 9 3/4 and the character boarding the Hogwarts Express, make the fully-customized player character be there instead of the default. Other than that, nothing except changing up the beginning of first year a bit and switching around chapters in third year. I would make the player’s house determine whether Ivy appears to the feast and gets sorted (Hufflepuff), appears to the feast then leaves (Ravenclaw), or doesn’t appear to the feast at all (Gryffindor or Slytherin). Daniel would also be a Slytherin in both boy and girl versions for every house. Lottie would be a Ravenclaw and Ivy would be a Hufflepuff, making the character’s friend group inter-house. Also, while looking for Ivy, Lottie would mention the Room of Requirement and ask the POV (playable) character whether they would like to follow her lead to the Room of Requirement, follow her directions to get to the Room of Requirement, or just not follow her at all. The first option would end in no duels, the second option would end in the duel with Peeves, and the third option would end in all the duels which originally happened. Also, Ivy showing up at the beginning of the year would make sense with the dialogue in the Room of Requirement (“oh my! Daniel!”). My changes with third year would be to make the timeline make sense. Apparently, the first Hogsmeade trip of the year happened in winter in the game when it canonically happened on Halloween in the books. Also, Robyn and Kevin’s quidditch tryouts happened after the winter Hogsmeade visit, when it seemed to be spring, which means the quidditch season was cut short drastically, but it seems like a full season when the main characters were watching the final. Also, retrieving the golden snitch Kevin was practicing with happened after quidditch tryouts. How I would fix this would be to have chapter one be very low-key. The school year begins and Robyn and Kevin are practicing quidditch when the snitch Kevin is practicing with flies into the forbidden forest. The plot goes on as it was originally. Elliot saves them and Daniel and MC go to the hospital wing. The chapter ends there and the next chapter ends right where the first one ended off. Everything goes the same, then quidditch tryouts happen. The third chapter is when the trouble with Gridley starts. The first Hogsmeade visit, during Halloween, MC, Daniel, and Ivy go to Hogsmeade to confront Gridley. After that, the plot goes on as it does in-game, except Gridley sends another letter to Daniel for the winter Hogsmeade visit and checks on his search for the Skeleton Key. That’s really all the changes I have.

where is our club warrrrrrrr

You put 5k into a game like this? Omfg ...

that ad sucked ass lmaooooo but yea i duel the same people way too many times withing a few hours and daily lately to the point i remember their name without even trying

The rewards they give are lame, 20 gems daily in pvp while a single pull on gacha cost 300 gems

not mentioning the fact that the matchmaking is complete SHIT...matching somebody at lvl 30 with people at lvl 50+ like WTF bruh?

The current meta is so much boring you will se Obscures in every build ,snape echo or bella echo are consistent too much stress even of you are willing to play casually they have to implement changes to cards by 3rds season

Trash game unfortunately, I've uninstalled already and it's such a wasted occasion because it could have been the new Gwent.

Lol this game is way closer to South Park phone destroyer rather than clash Royale. Lol I'm a clash player to..... Well was until HPMA came out 😂

it needs to hit console cuz mobile aint it

They need to just delete that egg card.

good game, bad management

They deserve that lol

that 1 mistake what was made ( they merged global serwer with 1st test serwer ) kiled game, moste essential part of the game is ded now so the game its self is ded !!!
