Proceed to the Great Hall when you are ready. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say. When you arrive, you’ll notice that everyone is eagerly anticipating Dumbledore’s speech about something important. Standing beside him, you’ll also see Holly Blackbird, who works for MACUSA’s Body for Protection of Magical Species office. Shortly after that, Dumbledore will begin his speech.


He will announce that a schoolwide challenge will take place, designed to test students’ teamwork skills, and then warmly welcome Madam Holly.


To discover the prize, you need to earn five stars within three hours. Three stars are required to pass.

Bonus progress actions are tied to Professor Dumbledore and Madam Holly. Prioritize these actions to save some energy.

You will learn that the winners will be rewarded with the opportunity to visit MACUSA, specifically enjoying a special tour of the Body for Protection of Magical Species office! Penny will ask you what you think about this reward.
There are three different options to choose from. All of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

The Headmaster will further add that the winning team will need driven, determined, and competitive individuals. You and Penny will agree to team up since Dumbledore’s description matches both of you, and you both want to visit MACUSA. You’ll learn that the competition will consist of two rounds, and Penny will mention that Dumbledore said your problem-solving and spellcasting skills will be tested. She will then ask you which of these qualities you think is the most important for your team.
There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

In any case, Penny and you will decide to meet in the school courtyard to figure out who else to invite to your team, as the team must have four members.

Go to the Clocktower Courtyard to continue the story. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say. When you arrive, you’ll mention that you need to sort out which other two teammates would be the best addition to your team. You’ll suggest starting the brainstorming process for potential team members right away.

To complete the next task, you need to earn five stars within one hour. Three stars are required to pass.

The bonus progress actions are tied to your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy.

In this task, if you are in the later years or in Beyond Hogwarts, you will choose Corey as your teammate. However, if you are in the earlier years, you will select Rowan/Rowena instead. Either choice will not affect the overall story, though the dialogues will differ slightly. Enjoy!
You’ll realize there are plenty of candidates for your team. However, after some discussion, you and Penny will agree to narrow the choices down to Barnaby, the magical creatures expert, and Corey, who excels at research. Just as you’re finalizing your options, Merula will interrupt your conversation, making it clear that she’s also entering the competition and is determined to defeat you.
There are three different options to choose from. These options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Then, you will decide to go talk and convince your friends to join your team as well as participate in the competition itself.


Proceed to the Library when you are ready. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say. You will meet Corey there, who is busy reading books. You will explain what it’s about and mention that she would be a great addition to your team. However, she will insist that she’s not finished with her book, which is very important. Because of this, you will start convincing her.


To convince Corey to join, you need to earn five stars within three hours. All five stars are required to pass. Since this task requires a lot of energy, it is recommended to start it with a full energy bar.

Bonus progress actions are tied to Corey and Madam Pince. Prioritize these actions to save some energy.

Corey will ask you and add that before she agrees to join the team, she wants to know what your main reason for winning is. There are three different options to choose from. All of them will eventually lead to the same outcome, so feel free to take your pick.

Following that, she will agree to be part of the team, and you will then decide to go to Barnaby.



Go to the Care of Magical Creatures Classroom to continue the story. Upon arriving, you’ll notice the speech bubbles above some of the characters. Tap on those if you’re curious to see what they have to say. You will say that you haven’t seen him in the Great Hall, and Barnaby will be sad that he missed Dumbledore’s big announcement.


After you explain everything he missed, you will ask him if he wants to be on your team. However, he will add that he wants to, but there’s a problem—his Knarl is in a foul mood, and he needs to cheer it up first before he can focus on the competition.

To cheer up Knarl, you need to earn five stars within eight hours. Three stars are required to pass. Since this task requires a lot of energy, it is recommended to start it with a full energy bar.

Bonus progress actions are tied to the wooden bowl, Barnaby, and your character. Prioritize these actions to save some energy.

The reason Knarl is worried is because Barnaby is worried about him. Barnaby will thank you for discovering the problem. He will accept to be on the team and will ask you if there is a particular subject he should look into. There are two different options to choose from. Both options will influence some dialogue that will follow, but they won’t impact the story.

Your team is finally ready for the competition.
