You'll also get to roam around Hogwarts or fly over the school on a broom, brew potions, take part in the Sorting Hat ceremony and play Quidditch.

The game has been available since September in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, as well as other Asian markets towards the end of 2021. The announcement today marks the game's planned release this year in Europe and America.
