Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, Portkey Games’ new mobile game, gives players the opportunity to create a character, and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a student, attending classes, making friends, earning House Points, and of course, solving mysteries! The game is set in the 1980s, seven years before Harry Potter’s first day at Hogwarts. Players will explore the halls and grounds of the school, and meet both new characters — like your Slytherin nemesis in the game, Merula – and beloved characters from the books and films like Dumbledore, Snape, Flitwick, McGonagall, Hagrid and many more.

Today they’re introducing a new feature to the game: pets!

From the adorable boarhound puppy, Fang, to the feisty but devoted feline, Mrs. Norris, pets are a beloved part of life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Starting today, players of the mobile game, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, can have critters of their own! Selecting between the popular picks of Owl, Rat, Cat and Toad, players can now choose a pet to join them in their adventures as a student at Hogwarts.

Players can own up to four pets in the game, one of each kind, which will lounge and nap in their house dormitory. Equipping one animal friend at time, a pet can join players at locations around Hogwarts and its grounds. In addition to companionship, pets provide players with an energy boost when they’re awoken from slumber.

With today’s addition, players can join the likes of pet-loving Hagrid and Mr. Filch, gaining a friendly animal friend to join them in their exploration of Hogwarts and their new dormitories.
