There's a Harry Potter narrative-based RPG in the works

For smartphones.

There's another new Harry Potter smartphone game in development - this time, a narrative-based RPG where you get to attend Hogwarts.

The appropriately-named Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery sees you attend the magical school, take classes, learn how to duel and meet familiar professors from JK Rowling's series.
