Smith, Gambon, Davis and More Return to Voice Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery

Jam City, a Los Angeles-based mobile games studio, in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, today announced the full list of actors providing voice work for the video game Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. The actors include: Dame Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall); Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore); Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick); Sally Mortemore (Madam Irma Pince); Gemma Jones (Madam Pomfrey); and Zoe Wanamaker (Madam Hooch).

The global launch date for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has also confirmed to be Wednesday, April 25th on iOS and Android.

“If I could attend Hogwarts as a student, I would be most excited to attend the potions class taught by Severus because it is the most exotic,” said Dame Maggie Smith, voice of Professor McGonagall.

“Our goal with Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is to make players really feel for the first time like they’re attending Hogwarts,” said Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and CEO of Jam City. “By including these iconic and incredibly talented actors in the game, we come one step closer to truly giving fans their own Hogwarts experience.”

The game is set in the time between Harry Potter’s birth and his enrollment at Hogwarts, when Nymphadora Tonks and Bill Weasley were students. The avatar customization system allows you to continually upgrade your avatar as you gain new expertise and magical skills – you can even choose your own pet. You will join one of the four Houses before progressing through your years at Hogwarts, participating in magical classes and activities such as Potions and Transfiguration. Building your skills will come in handy as you solve mysteries and go on adventures. As players improve their skills, they will unlock new locations, spells and other magical abilities.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery features both large plot arcs and smaller stories such as relationship quests. The game features a new encounter system in which player’s decisions in both actions and narrative impact their quests, and how other characters regard and interact with them. These choices will allow Harry Potter fans to create the legacy of the witch or wizard they want to become.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, developed by Jam City and will be released this spring for mobile devices under Portkey Games, the new label for gaming experiences inspired by the magic and adventures of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. The title will be available on the App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore.
