Harry Potter: Magic Awakened is a mobile collectible card game set in the Wizarding World. This guide answers common questions about downloading the game in Russia, choosing servers, pre-registration rewards, and more.
If you want to connect with other Russian speakers, a VK group for the game can help with events, teammates, and making new friends.
How to play in Russia?
The game has two publishers: Warner Bros. and NetEase, with global and Asian-African servers respectively. For CIS countries, global servers are unavailable, so players should use the NetEase version.
- On Google Play, enable a VPN and clear the app cache.
- Download the APK file and install the game manually.
- Install the computer version for PC play.
Is there Russian language in the game?
Russian language support was planned for the global version but is currently paused. Real-time translation apps can help by translating on-screen text. Try several options to find the one that works best for you:
- Gaminik — runs over other windows, making chat capture straightforward.
- Bubble Translator — shows translations as bubbles beside each line, helping separate button names and chat notes.
- Screen translation — the free version covers major languages, with area scan and quick translation features.
What if all servers are not visible on the main screen?
Start the game with a VPN enabled, connect to your chosen server, then minimize the game and disable the VPN. A separate article is available about VPN options.
Which server should you choose for a smooth experience?
Server choice depends on region and latency. The aim is to select servers with stable connections and a strong presence of Russian-speaking players.
- Europe — Puffskein
- Asia — Ashwinder
- Africa — Sphinx
Can I choose a wand?
At the start, Ollivander’s shop provides a suitable wand, and changing it later is not mandatory for combat power. As the game progresses, you can obtain wand skins and swap them when needed. A wider collection of skins makes gameplay more entertaining.
To open the wand skin change window, follow these steps:
- Open the backpack and select Information;
- Click the icon near the Exploratory properties sentence;
- In the new window, click the wand icon;
- Choose a new look and enjoy the benefits.
Many skins are awarded for seasonal events, so regular logins help complete the collection.
Which faculty should you pick?
Faculties serve as a lobby for playing with friends. Ensure all friends in a session choose the same house, and consider joining a guild with its own chat. If you have a club in mind, reach out before starting to play.
New players are initially offered Hufflepuff, but you can pick any of the four faculties if you decline the first option.
How do I get a pre-registration reward?
Pre-registration awards are not available. Because European servers aren’t officially accessible for CIS players, rewards have not been distributed yet.
How do you obtain new cards and companions?
Cards and companions vary in rarity and can be earned through multiple avenues:
- Complete daily and weekly tasks.
- Check the store for free items every 12 hours.
- Attend class regularly.
- Use silver and gold keys in the shop to open chests with rewards, including cards.
- Participate in PvP battles to earn battle rank rewards.
- Purchase a season pass to accelerate collection and story progress.
Mythical Spells and Companions
The game features unique cards that can be bought from the store when gold chests are opened. The chance to pull Mythical and Dark cards is very low, but a loyalty system guarantees a Legendary, Mythic, or Dark card every few attempts.
What is the best card strategy?
Card balance shifts periodically. Some decks prove strong, especially when built around legendary cards. Since obtaining them is tough, players are advised to base tactics on the legendary cards they have, boosting their properties. In 1v1 battles, use knockback and crowd-control spells to buy time for powerful attacks. In 2v2 battles, focus on defensive spells to support an ally and create chances to strike.
Can cards be traded with other players?
Trading is possible with clan members who hold Swap Tokens. Tokens are earned through clan activities and can be bought in the club store. To trade:
- Open the club and go to Card Trading;
- Find the target player on the list;
- Select your card and the partner’s card;
- When the other player confirms, the exchange consumes the token and new cards appear in your inventory.
Note that cards during an exchange cannot be used in combat. If needed, cancel the trade or ask the other player to confirm quickly.
How to leave a club in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened?
Leaving a club is simple. Open the main Social Clubs page, tap the club name, view the member list, open Details, and select Leave the club. Confirm your choice to exit.
How to participate in PvP duels?
As you advance the story, you’ll be invited to the Dueling Club, where you can challenge opponents in 1v1 or 2v2 battles.
How to change appearance?
As you explore, you’ll collect equipment. If you want a new look, you can change it anytime.
- Open the backpack and choose New look mirror;
- A new window lets you adjust each clothing item and view your collection.
