‘Quidditch is one of the most iconic parts of the Hogwarts school experience and something our players have been clamouring for,’ says Michael Brozman, Senior Director of Product at Jam City. ‘We’ve added in a fun and challenging new skill-based mechanic alongside some very captivating characters who are new to the world of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. As a permanent fixture in the game, we couldn’t be more excited to bring this ongoing, multi-chaptered adventure to players, season after season.’

Season 1 of the new Quidditch adventure debuts at 1PM Pacific Standard Time today, whereupon players will be invited to participate in practices, known as ‘Quidditch Friendlies’ in order to hone their skills. Move over, Cormac McLaggen!

Throughout the seasons, players will unlock new moves – such as Parkin’s Pincer or a Quaffle pass – as they progress through the positions of Chaser, Beater, Keeper, and Seeker. Their ultimate performance in the Quidditch Cup Matches will determine their team's success. Prizes include special brooms, house-themed face paint, and iconic Quidditch uniforms once they make the team.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is available through appstores globally.

Is it nearly Christmas already? Don’t worry, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London has you covered with a roster of festive fun. And as it’s the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, there’s even more to look forward to this year.
Get into the Christmas spirit early as Warner Bros. Studio Tour London launch their much-loved Hogwarts in the Snow feature, more lavish dinners in the Great Hall and some special screenings of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone for the 20th anniversary.

Hogwarts in the Snow
This snowy favourite has been enchanting visitors for years at the Studio Tour, and from 13th November 2021 to 16th January 2022, you can come to see Hogwarts dressed in all its festive glory. And it’s not just Hogwarts that has been covered in snow – new for 2021, the trees and woodland of the Forbidden Forest have also been blanketed in filmmaking snow, as well as Diagon Alley and Hagrid’s Hut! Expect festive wreathes, Christmas trees and a seasonal feast in the Great Hall too.

Dinner in the Great Hall
From 13th – 15th December, a lavish feast awaits you in the Studio Tour’s Great Hall. Ticket-holders to this popular event are invited to get their glad rags on (or finest robes, perhaps?) and enjoy a two-course seated dinner, as if you were Hogwarts students yourself. A roam through the Studio Tour after hours then follows - with dessert and Butterbeer on offer too. After that, you’ll be invited to blow off some steam at a special Hogwarts Express disco. And once the night is over? Guests even get to take home their own wand as a souvenir. What a night!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone screenings
From Friday 19th to 22nd November, fans can gather at the Great Hall set to enjoy a Hogwarts-themed party and a screening of the film that started it all, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. These special evenings will allow you to roam the Studio Tour after-hours, enjoy some Honeydukes snacks and watch the film on a cosy house-themed beanbag. If you remember where you were when you first saw Hogwarts on the screen 20 years ago, this could be the perfect way to commemorate this huge milestone.

Please note that a special Monday screening will be adapted for visitors on the autism spectrum and for those with other sensory needs.

So, grab some tinsel and some fairy lights – Christmas truly feels like it has come early!

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore to be released globally 15th April 2022

Published on Sep 22nd 2021
Today, we are thrilled to reveal that the third instalment of the Fantastic Beasts series is to be released three months early – alongside its long-awaited title and a tease of the story.
Mark the date in your calendars... A new chapter of Newt Scamander’s adventures is coming soon, with Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore to be released in cinemas globally 15th April 2022, and 8th April in the UK and Ireland, with a few other markets potentially also going a tad bit earlier.

The film was expected to be released in July of next year, but today we can exclusively reveal fans will be able to enjoy the third film a few months earlier than planned!

And here’s a glimpse of the plot to expect....

Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?

We can also reveal the film’s new logo, celebrating the title and Dumbledore’s inclusion with flashes of shiny, embellished silver. Look carefully and you’ll see a wand carefully cut into the ‘D’ of Dumbledore too.

Many of the characters you know and love from the first two Fantastic Beasts films will return, such as Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander and Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore along with Ezra Miller (Credence/Aurelius Dumbledore), Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein), Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski) and Katherine Waterston (Tina Goldstein). Comedian and actor Jessica Williams, who had a brief appearance in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, will return as Ilvermorny professor Eulalie 'Lally' Hicks, while Mads Mikkelsen will debut as Gellert Grindelwald.

The film will once again be directed by David Yates and will reunite producers David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves, Lionel Wigram and Tim Lewis, along with executive producers Neil Blair, Danny Cohen, Josh Berger and Courtenay Valenti. The screenplay is written by J.K. Rowling and Steve Kloves.

That’s all there is to tell for now – but be sure to keep checking back for more updates about Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore when we have them.
