It looks as though there should be lots of additional lore to soak up just by being nosey. We overheard what some of the teachers had been up to, watched a student get in trouble for venturing into an area that was off-limits, and heard that there was some sort of altercation with a troll earlier in the game. Hogwarts is a busy place, bustling with students from each of the four houses, so if you want to keep up with all the gossip we recommend pausing to listen in on what some of your classmates are talking about. We spotted this once during our session but imagine it’ll feature more heavily across the full adventure. This handy charm has been reimagined as a lockpicking minigame that requires you to turn two cogs slowly until the gears are perfectly aligned, demonstrated by colourful sparks.


Fans will remember Harry Potter characters frequently uttering the phrase “Alohomora” to unlock doors, windows, and more.
