A Day In Diagon Alley Part 4

VIDEO ADVERTISEMENT

Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to Part 4 of our Walkthrough for A Day In Diagon Alley Adventure of Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery. In the previous part, after dealing with some last-minute shopping and preparing for their journey, the group finally had everything they needed. They had time to spare before boarding the Hogwarts Express. However, Rhys and Virgil were eager to get on with the journey, while Juniper felt a bit unsure about the Sorting Ceremony.

You reassured them that the Sorting Ceremony, which is a critical part of the Hogwarts experience, would help determine which house they would belong to. Each house has its unique characteristics, and it will shape their Hogwarts experience in many ways. Despite the sorting, you emphasized that they would all be students at the same school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Juniper felt more confident about the Sorting Ceremony after your talk. You then directed everyone towards Platform 9 3/4, explaining that the platform is magically concealed and only accessible by walking through a brick wall. Rhys and Virgil took off towards the wall, while Juniper, still a bit hesitant, decided to go with you.

Once at Platform 9 3/4, you welcomed everyone and started to prepare for the train journey. However, Virgil realized he was missing his copy of A History of Magic, a book filled with his notes and comments. He was quite upset and insisted on retrieving it, despite the approaching departure of the Hogwarts Express. Rhys questioned if there was enough time, but Virgil was adamant about getting his book back.

You assured Virgil that no one would miss the Sorting Ceremony and promised to figure something out. While Virgil went off to meet Bathilda Bagshot, whom he admired greatly, you frantically searched for his book. Luckily, you found it buried among newer copies of A History of Magic. Bathilda Bagshot, noticing your predicament, offered to apparate you to the station to ensure you arrived on time. With her help, you made it to the platform as the Hogwarts Express was about to depart.
