The most common problem you will face in this game is “energy”. The game has an energy system; energy points are required to complete the quest tasks. And these points are limited, re-generates after every few minutes. No energy points = No gameplay! And you can not leave an ongoing task without completing it. However, in short-term quests, you will not face this problem. In this post, we have covered everything about the game you need to know; Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery cheats, energy locations tips, hints, and a walkthrough guide to play like a pro!

Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery Cheats, Walkthrough & Tips⇓
Read all the dialogues⇓

Attend the lecture carefully in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery Game⇓

Attend the quests like a pro![Obsolete]
As you know, you need the energy to complete the quests or to earn stars. And energy is limited. Before you start the quest, check the duration of the quest(if it’s long, then it means you need lots of energy points) and then, check the energy points you have. Don’t start the quest if your energy points are low. Go, explore or attend classes to earn energy points. Start the quest when the energy bar is full.
Choose The Duration Of The Class⇓
Before you start the quest or a class, you can select the duration; 8 hours, 1 hour, 3 hours. I would recommend you to choose an 8-hour duration because you will get more rewards and there will be no energy problem(even if you start with 0 energy]. If not, then choose the 3-hours duration and start with at least 20 energy. But I strongly recommend you to choose the 8-hour session, you could earn 10 house points(house points are needed to win the house cup in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery game).

Duel – Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery Guide To Duels⇓
Duel quests get unlocked when you reach chapter 5. In chapter 5 of Hogwarts Mystery, you battle against other students[Merula, Rowan]. Playing the duel is quite simple. You can duel when there is a quest available. Before chapter 5, your character learns some special magic;
- Potion
- Charms
Potions? For instance, using Wiggerweld Potion, you can heal or recover the HP points while dueling. Another example; If the opponent hurts you by casting a spell using the wand, you will lose health points. At that moment, use the healing potion to restore stamina. The player who losses all the points/stamina first will lose the match. Your objective in dueling is defeating the opponent and you can defeat the opponent easily by reading our Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery cheats and tips below.
Charms? You can say it “skill”. Use it to reduce the HP of the opponent or to stun.
As you progress in the Hogwarts Mystery game, you learn about new potions and charms. Attend potion class to learn about new potions and attend charm class to learn about new charms. Become the master! Duel mode is one of the best parts of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery game. And it could be better if one can play against friends or other players in real-time. However, the quests are limited and it’s a story-driven game!
Let’s start the Duel guide: –
In duel mode, you have to select a specific stance upon your turn. The three stances are: –
- Sneaky
- Aggressive
- Defensive
Each stance has a unique list of options to choose from. And you can not figure out what your opponent is going to choose.
19.) Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery cheats, tips – Stances
- Sneaky has more advantage over Defensive
- The defensive has more advantage over Aggressive
- Aggressive has more advantage over Sneaky
For instance, you choose sneaky and your opponent chooses defensive, then you will win.
If you choose defensive and the opponent chooses aggressive, then you will win.
And at last, if you choose the aggressive stance and the opponent chooses sneaky, then you will win. And Vice Versa.
In short,
- Sneaky > Defensive
- Defensive > Aggressive
- Aggressive > Sneaky
If both the players have chosen the same stance, then it will be tie and the player who has low HP will get the bonus points. Actions: –
- Sneaky Stance – Throwing a vital, cast spells
- Aggressive Stance – Distract an opponent, cast offensive spells such as Incendio, Flipendo
- Defensive Stance – Taunting, use potions or supportive spells. If your HP is low, then use the healing option.
Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery Cheats, Tips – Play Duel Like A Pro!
You will be able to choose action if your stance beats the opponent’s stance. And you should choose it wisely; here’s how: –
- Stun your opponent – Check the actions you can perform and choose that, which can stun your opponent.[If available].
If you stun the opponent, the opponent would not be able to choose an action. It means, on the next turn, if opponent’s stance beat your choice, he/she will not get the advantage. Stunning your opponent is a great defensive tool during a duel.
How to restore stamina?
In the duel, the player who losses all the stamina(energy or HP) first will lose. If your stamina has decreased due to an attack by the opponent, you can restore it by choosing a defensive stance and then choose the healing action.
Another tip – Increase your attribute points to strengthen your duel performance. Read the attribute guide above.
Hogwarts Mystery Duel Strategy Tips, Cheats: –
- The first action depends on the luck – no strategy. If you win, then choose aggressive or sneaky
- If the opponent is low on health, chances are they will choose defensive – in this case, you should choose sneaky
- If you are low on health, chances are they will choose aggressive. In this case, you should choose defensive and heal
- And at last, if both are low on health, choose sneaky.

Are there any locations at the Burrow for energy points?

I just started the game a couple weeks ago….I first started on my laptop threw Facebook…then I switched to mobile. Here’s what I found…
When wanting to acquire more gems or energy, I use my laptop. While using energy for a task and am suddenly out of it, I can always click the option to watch a video for more energy. I can do this quite a lot before I get cut off from using it again for a while…Probably 40 energy points. For some reason the option to watch a video only appears a couple times when I using the app on mobile before I can’t use it again. When I want more gems, I go to the bottom right hand corner and click the gem icon to watch videos for more gems….just earlier today I clicked it so many times I had over 400 gems before it cut me off. Course…it took a long time to do that but it made using energy for tasks for the rest of the day a snap. Again, when using mobile, the option only allows me a couple times before it cuts me off.
But everything else I do on mobile. Doing focus on the laptop facebook site, there’s a delay after you click the button. Playing quidditch is frustratingly hard using the facebook option as well. It’s almost impossible to get the encourage or help task…the left hand side where you have to keep the bar in the green zone for a certain amount of time. All those are so simple on mobile app.
In year 5 chapter 12 there is a side quest to “Court in the Courtyard” but when I try to complete it all my friends show as unavailable. Am I missing something? I am level 37 and my charisma level is 7. Most of my friends are at level 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
First you have to have garden dates in Hagrid’s garden for a while before it unlocks the courtyard dates.
Hey was wondering if there is a free energy at the Ministry of Magic?
Yes. Scroll all the way to the right and click on the paper airplanes
Hiya this was really helpful because I always find I’m low on energy and when I go hunting for the things my computer time runs out. But now I’m playing on PC and somehow when I start a new qust my energy bar is always full when it was on 3/25 a second ago but thanks anyway
